Listen up …
A friend remarked the other day: “You listen to a lot of radio, don’t you Christine?” I received this as a compliment. And yes, it’s true. I do listen to a lot.

You just never know …
I read that Portugal’s Eurovision Song Contest winner, Salvador Sobral, has recently undergone a heart transplant. Of course, I don’t know the guy, but it didn’t stop me from wishing him well. Who amongst us wouldn’t? And it made me resolve, when I’m watching Eurovision next year to perhaps think twice before I comment on… Read More You just never know …

“Three things in human life are important: the first is to be kind; the second is to be kind; and the third is to be kind.” (Henry James)
It’s true …
I just heard the fabulous Gloria Gaynor song, I Am What I Am, written by Mark Owen. What great lyrics. I am what I am I don’t want praise, I don’t want pity I bang my own drum Some think it’s noise, I think it’s pretty And so what if I love each sparkle and… Read More It’s true …
