Sunday’s blog a step by step and typically Gray, OK? So since we were using Perfect Pearls in the Classroom on TV yesterday, how about yet another technique using them? I posted a similar piece in October, so you can always go back and get another take on the same spin. This is Clarity Sunday, and I am blogging from a hotel room in Peterborough. A little bleary-eyed, but I must say, thoroughly enjoying getting to grips with blogging. Don’t…
It’s round midnight, there has been yet another big accident up the road, so my trip to the TV studios is not going very well. 2 hours later, and we haven’t moved an inch. I overheard a truck driver outside just tell his mate we’re here till at least 4am. And all I can say is God help the poor souls at the front of this chaos. If I am a bit tired on telly tomorrow, I’m a bit tired…
Yep, hit the update button again! And lost this post! But no! I had at least taken some screen shots of it. Bear with me…..I will learn to not press the update button. Posted with Blogsy

Rolling back the hours, and the years, I went to my little memories box, to see what I could find. I am not a big keeper of things from the past, I don’t have loads of photos all over the house, or boxes of stuff from previous lives. But I do have a little box I made many years ago, in which I store a few precious photos and lovely things. I found this Serenity Prayer which I stamped on…

This simple new sandwich trick which I worked out last night, after the Exhibition at the SECC had closed, (so that I could stick to my Blog Poem!) made me think of all the hundreds of…
Friday’s blog, a private peek…Well, I may as well start as I mean to continue, and level with you. Last night, I spent the evening with another man. I’ve known him since I was a teenager, so it was great to spend a few hours with him again. The last time was back in the 70’s! He’s still quite handsome. We weren’t entirely alone mind; there were a few others there, at the new Hydro, Glasgow. But Peter was on…
