To those who didn’t forget: thanks for the birthday wishes! I treated myself to some Smarties and made an enquiry about a beautiful antiques tea cup, my B-Day gifts this year. I’m taking time for myself today trying to reflect on things, because it’s needed. If you keep facing the same disappointing situation then it might be time to change drastically.

Things would be so different if I had some choices… Hopefully September this year will be the start of that. I have an appointment next Monday to discuss ‘the change’ *wink*. Did you know that violet Smarties were previously dyed with cochineal, a scale insect from which the crimson-coloured dye carmine is derived? Don’t click link if you’re faint-hearted. *wink*
