How do goddesses do that? …….. is it a natural  ‘spare-rib’ thing or is it taught to them by their mother’s?
Anyway, I [...]

PROGRESS REPORT

With the help of Penfold the new kitchen is coming on in leaps and bounds.

I only hope Lo, she is a terrible Goddess doesn’t notice that there isn’t a sink or a gas hob ……… I thought it might save on the washing up and cooking …… anything to ease her path through life ……..

GERTRUDE UPDATE

.
There has been some concern amongst Avid Readers about how Gertrude, my pet llama, is doing.

KIT……. KIT……….KITCHEN

I placed the chairs there in case anyone wanted to watch.  Only Lo, the terrible Goddess took me up on my offer though [...]
