God Mammon and jeans are an unlikely Saturday morning troika, I had better explain.

♥ Are you…
Last Sunday evening while completing my census return, a mundane but obligatory task, my mind wandered back to an article I had read in Saturday’s FT, called ‘Happy Now’? According to the article the Office for National Statistics in the UK will produce a national well-being index. There were no questions about life satisfaction on the Irish Census form.

♥ Meet my kettle!
Now I realize that buying a kettle isn’t exactly headline news, but as I have lived without one since June 2004 buying my new kettle last month was a bit of an event.

♥ Honey; Transatlantic Tourist
“Two roads diverged in a wood, and I –
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.”
Those closing lines of my favourite poem, The Road not Taken by Robert Frost, often spring to mind when I make a small decision with serendipitous consequences. If I hadn’t stayed in bed for an extra hour this morning, I would never have met Honey – a canine visitor to Ireland. Here’s how it happened.
♥ The Universe says
Bonkers I know, but when it comes to decision-making I veer between two extremes. Mode one involves hours of indecisive brooding. Mode two is when I make an impulsive choice in a nano second. Some of my best choices have been the split second ones. I once decided to buy a house without a kitchen or proper bathroom before the estate agent had uttered a word. In fact I made that decision before he opened the door. I just knew I loved where it was and that it was so close to the sea. It was one of my best decisions and I was very sad when I bade the self-same house farewell.

♥ Thank You
I started blogging on the 1st March so today the blog is officially one month old. I hope the fact that it’s April Fool’s Day is not a bad omen.

♥ 686 pages to go
They say confession is good for the soul, so here goes. Forgive me fellow book clubbers, the blog has taken over my life and I haven’t started reading the current books. There is a possibility probability I will turn up when we next meet not having finished the books. (I am in two book clubs so that’s a double dose of confession.)
♥ Fair daffodils
I love this time of year. Spring has sprung and the worst excesses of the winter weather are a distant memory and harbingers of warmer times abound. I particularly love the short season of the daffodils. They are everywhere; long yellow ribbons along the sides of the roadways, peeping out in gardens in sharp contract to the bare-branched shrubs and clusters clumped around the bases of majestic trees. Sadly they do ‘haste away so soon’.
