Donations, horses and writing
Spent most of this morning holed up Writing. Not fun posts, but five posts of Serious #Writing Content for a contact's company blog. Fortunately it's a subject I'm fairly knowledgeable about so it wasn't too difficult. This afternoon Mr C and I headed out
Two Celebrities, Two hospitals
There is a great dearth of good quality health facilities in #Pakistan . Things are not so bad in big cities but in smaller towns and villages, there are very few #hospitals and medical centers. Often people have to travel to major cities when their loved
Brave the Shave
I have a complicated relationship with the #hair on my head. I've never wanted to be a Rapunzel type, with long tresses flowing down my back. In fact it was as much as my mother and I could stand to get me to grow it to shoulder length in primary school.
Koala Karma - soon to become Australian Slang for Relaxation

This is going to make me sound really sad, of that I am totally aware, so don't worry about sparing my feelings ;P Lol This Valentines Day I have plans with a work friend to go to a large charity book sale. This sale happens every year, and it is HUGE! It
South African Cricket in the Pink
When the South African #cricket team take to the field in the second one day international of their series against the West Indies on Sunday 18 January, the entire team will be dressed in pink. This is not a bad joke. It's all in a good cause - raising aw
