What about....(Wednesday Hodgepodge)

Hello! You may have noticed that for the last few weeks I have only managed a Wednesday hodgepodge post and the main reason is....drum roll please...I don't have anything to say! Actually that's not entirely true, but I have been saving you the time reading through rants and dross. 
1. Time magazine has selected The Ebola Fighters as their person of the year for 2014. Do you agree, and if so who would you say is a close second? If you disagree with their choice, who do you think should have been chosen? 

I am not sure what the category for nomination as person of the year is, and seeing as the Ebola fighters implies more than one in its title then maybe (if you are as pedantic as I am!) it shouldn't be them. I don't know who as a substitute and it would require research for me to properly answer, hours spent weighing up the why's and why not's, only for me to decide they are all deserving! Its now becoming clear to me why I am not on that panel...hehehe.

Wednesday Hodgepodge!

Welcome to this weeks Hodgepodge :)
Before I give you my answers you may be pleased to know that my stitching mojo is still here. I actually stopped stitching the last thing and thought I would take out something small. Its still a HAED but much smaller. Its Christmas themed too although I am struggling to see how it will look like the picture! But anyhoo, it is keeping me busy and Musey is keeping me company and stitches are being made. I shall post an pic on Friday and you can see if you can guess what it is. 
I guess I should get on with what you might have come here for! 

What is one new holiday tradition you'd like to establish, or one you've established recently, say in the last year or two?
We have holiday traditions that the family has always done but no new ones of late and none established by me. I am struggling to now think of something that could be extra, nope I have nothing! I look forward to reading the other hodgepodgers answers, they may inspire me!
It's the se…

350 times...

Hello,

Welcome! This is my 350th post and I have decided to participate in the Wednesday Hodgepodge hosted by 'From This Side of the Pond' on this their 200th edition.

So the questions given and my answers....

1. What is something in your life right now that feels a little 'hodgepodge'?

This made me laugh, can I only pick one thing? Ha! Lets say...hmmm...eeny meeny miney mo...stitching! The project I just started was going so well until I realised I had misread the chart, and because the fabric is just enough, I am now torn with carrying on stitching and seeing what happens or stopping and losing my momentum...

2. What does 'peace on earth, goodwill to men' mean to you?

This is hard to put into words but basically to me it means treating others as you would be treated, to be kind, helpful and courteous and don't look for problems where there are none.

3. Which edible treat you are most looking forward to sampling this December?

Flumps! If I can find some -…

The return of the Tuesday rant!

Every day, I spend my lunch hour reading the newspaper, sometimes articles will annoy me and I return to my desk and email my friend and whinge.
Today, I spent my lunch hour reading the newspaper, and no article annoyed me. Today the whole newspaper annoyed me. Every news item was depressing, full of murders, abuse, suffering and oppression and it left me wanting to scream. I would like newspapers that had articles that although depressing had a final paragraph or two dedicated to what is being done about said news item.
I just want to know whether laws are being changed, programmes are available; support is there for abuse victims, etc. I just need to know that something is being done to prevent whatever it is from happening and what is being done to alleviate the situation. I don’t just want a statement. It physically stresses me out to think of these things happening; I need to know that these victims haven’t suffered in vain.

Anyway, on a happier note….I have started stitching a …
