Well it has happened...



...our 10 year old son showed his clueless 30(something) parents how to work the iplayer.

NOW FOR SOME RANDOM QUOTES THAT I HAVE STUMBLED UPON RECENTLY:
A best friend is like a four leaf clover,
hard to find and lucky to have.

Scrapping is love made visible...
(taken from RUBY ROCK-IT advertisment)

Nature does not hurry,
yet everything is accomplished.
(taken from Write.Click.Scrapbook website, sunday photo + words)
After years of being told "don't put off til tomorrow what you can do today" this qoute that suits me better.

Why?
When feeling at my very best,
When the house is clean and neat,
When i've lots and lots of leisure,
And i'm not run off my feet,
No-one comes to see me -
I have put it to the test -
But when i'm extra busy,
When i'm worried and oppressed,
When my fruit cake in the oven
decides to droop and sag,
When i have no time to dress with care,
And feel an awful hag -
When my stocking springs a ladder,
From ankle to the knee -
Why is it that my friends decide
To come and call on me?
-Miriam Eker.

OK, so i've never baked a fruit cake but the rest seems so true...

Have a good weekend blog readers.
If you have a favourite quote don't be afraid to share.
