What really grinds my gears...

Super super super super SUPER picky eaters... If you aren't going to like any of it, then just don't eat it... please refrain from complaining about it constantly, trying to pick something "safe" from the menu - and when even that disappoints you, loudly whinge about it to everyone. It ruins the meal for everyone. If you are that picky, make your own food - always. Just leave everyone else in peace! 

What tickles my fancy...

Tonight is supposed to be the first snow of the season in Oxfordshire. It is predicted to be light, and it won't stick, but still, exciting for Aussies who have never seen snow fall. I thought it was more than enough excitement when there was ice all over the grass in the park this morning. I ran across the road and started playing with the ice - scraping it off grass blade, stomping on it, picking up icy leaves and looking at them in the light. I am like a child, opening big, colourful presents on christmas morning!
