    Someday I will have an office like this: A big desk made of the light-coloured wood…no clue what its called. A little pot of flowers…no, not cut out of bouquets by housekeeping, but grown and tended to by me. Big yellow flowers…zarberas or African daisies I think they’re called. And…

    A Rational Kind Of Empty

    Now and then I am rather startled when one of my close girlfriends speaks her mind. Of course that is THE point of a ladies’ night out, girl talk, female bonding yada yada yada.
