Piece of Me# 22: Glass Half Empty...or Half Full?

Do you ever find yourself wondering whether your glass is half empty... or half full?

All too often I find myself feeling completely sorry for myself.

This changes now! (Especially seeing as techincally, the glass is always full...)

Piece of Me # 21: Alice The Camel

Alice the camel has two humps.

Alice the camel has two humps.

Alice the camel has two humps.

So go, Alice, go!

Piece of Me #20: Gone but not forgotten...

This is Ells. She smelt bad. She was deaf. And she liked to eat horse poo.

But boy do I miss her wagging tail, her wet nose, and her brown eyes.

To some people, she might only be a dog - but for anybody who's had a dog (or read Marley and Me) you'll know what they mean to us.

Piece of Me #19: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake

I've just bought this new book called 'The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake'. I've not read anything in a long long time (ok, it's been years) but I can't wait to get started on this one. It's the story of a girl who has the gift to taste her mother's emotions through the food she makes.

What an awesome gift!

It got me thinking...

Flapjacks and food colouring remind me of mischief with an old friend. Thai Green Curry stirs up Newcastle nostalgia. Nachos are reminiscent of friendship and frolics and blueberry muffins of things loved and lost.

And roast dinners are of course synonomous with family, comfort and warmth.

As for the book, I'll let you know how it goes...

Piece of Me# 18: Birds of a Feather

I came across this at work yesterday and thought it was insane. It's by London make-up artist Mira Parma...
