Team Honk was blown away by the post that Tara wrote saying that this week’s Gallery post was going to have Noses as theme in support of our trip to Ghana. So it seemed appropriate that I post this one. I fell in love with Veronica. We told her she was a star because we had seen her on the TV during Great British Bake Off. She

Ten Pounds and how it really helps mental health in Accra
Ten quid. It’s not much, is it? I can spend that on a couple of books in Smiths when I am bored at Waterloo. Or on a new T shirt when I am out shopping. Or maybe when I am feeling lazy and grab a sandwich at 3pm because I didn’t do lunch at home. Today we saw first hand, up close and personal just what

Gone Girl — February 2013
I picked this book because, well I am a Gone Girl for the next few days. Though there the similarity ends. I have to confess to having read this book in January because I knew this month I wouldn’t have much time to read I knew it was a cracker. The blurb is as follows:

The Gallery — Bonds
Not as in glue or as in James (though I have now seen my first James Bond film so I was hoping it was that one). As in the bonds that tie us together. Bonds that connect us to somebody else. That is the theme on Tara’s Gallery this week. I thought I would share something a bit more off the wall than that. And show you want actually bonds

So here’s the thing — the secret thing — Chapter 1
Have I mentioned the Secret Thing to you at all? You probably won’t have seen anything about it on Twitter. It has barely registered on my radar at all and so I haven’t mentioned it much. At all. Nope. <cough> Well the secret thing is happening and let me tell you it is rather huge. But I am embargoed (ooooh get me) until 31st. So I can’t

Sandals Resorts and Katie Price — A PR win
I am sure it hasn’t escaped your attention but Katie Price aka Jordan, married for the third time this week at a Sandals Resort in the Bahamas. To a bloke she has known for six weeks. Because her psychic told her she would marry a guy called Kevin. He is called Kieran and Katie says that is close enough. Isn’t that lovely?

Ranty Friday — Tags
You know the ones. Those stupid tags that shops attach to items. Either as a security measure or as an “aid to display”. I saw several tweets over Christmas from people who were asking how they could remove security tags from items they had bought as the shop had forgotten to do it. The answer being “you can’t unless you go back”. Well they can’t be very

Another reason why I hate football
I had gone to bed before the incident during the Chelsea / Swansea game on Wednesday night. And it is a good job because if I had seen it I would have worked myself up into such a rage I wouldn’t have been able to sleep for a week. A 17 year old ball boy gets kicked because a premiership footballer thinks that the boy has held on to the

The Gallery — Adventure
This week’s theme on The Gallery is Adventure. Hmm. Not known for being adventurous this meant a rummage through the archives again. And then it struck me. The adventure that nearly killed us. Well that is slightly over dramatic but Mr B has his moments of being a bit of a daredevil. And not wanting to be seen as a wuss I go along with it.

Knicker perfume
That got your attention, didn’t it? And I kid you not, my friends. Knicker perfume is here. I read on Get Lippie’s blog this week that Guerlain is about to launch “Eau de lingerie”. Now my first thought was “Why on earth would you want to smell like old pants?”

The end of an era
That is what today is, the end of an era. For four years I have been driving J to and from school on a trip that takes anything from 2.5 to 3 hours on a Monday morning. He is a weekly boarder so needs to be picked up Saturday lunchtime and taken back on Sunday night or Monday morning. For three years it was Sunday night but for

SatCap — 19th January
I don’t normally take part in the Saturday Caption linky but I saw this pic this week and just had to put it on my blog Though I suspect the only caption people will post will be “That is so true”
