I am not always sure whether or not to get personal on a blog, but what with it's title, and the fact that work is quiet for a spell, I think it pack it out a little, and I miss a lot out anyway to leave a bit of mystery.

That and the smell of Eucalyptus and Menthol sweets which were her weapon of choice. She would have been very flattered to be compared with Bette Davis in such a way. Simon McCorkindale...is that a good thing? As for the aeroplane wings under my nose, they have been the butt of family jokes ever since...why do we do such things eh?Garyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08255717931620460104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-106418510267458618.post-21288878227959169552013-01-13T03:35:16.798-08:002013-01-13T03:35:16.798-08:00Hi Cherl,
