”I do love a nice peg” Those words were actually spoken out loud by my colleague today as we were chatting about our love of pegging out. No not dying, hanging out the washing on a sunny day like the one we’ve had today. We were all saying how on days like today we go … More The Joy of Pegging Out
Holidays and Happiness I did one day’s work this week before taking a few days off. 9 days ‘holiday’ stretched out in front of me and it felt like an eternity. Now it’s down to 3 and they will disappear quicker than I can unwrap and pack away a Flake down my neck without the dog … More My Week in Pictures
