Saturday Special


Today is a really special Saturday because it's hubby's birthday. Yes, another year older and deeper in debt! We're off to Gavino's for a birthday lunch ... Italian style, of course. Consequently I shall probably be too full of fine Italian fare to catch up with you all. 
Maybe when the wine wears off ... .... 
Just one more thing before I go.

For those who haven't met John Bain allow me to point you in the right direction.


Comic dialogue is John's speciality. He writes as if he's talking to you, often going off topic in the most hilarious fashion. He is an artist, a musician, a budding author, and a brilliant blogger. His posts are entertaining and you never know what he'll come up with next.  

Catch him here

But first, why not see him in action
