Pretty self explanatory I supposed huh?!?! 
But it kept me going as I went through the mess that is my finances and sorted it all out on that new clever cloud software thing… And THAT ladies and gents… kinda summarizes my day today…
At least I got Cookies & Coffee! 
BUT!!!!! if you want to read something exiting… well… click here... and good luck!
Carpe Diem
My cup of coffee is half empty….
Maybe that is why my Blogging Mojo is suffering so much…
Must do something about it…
One Americano with 4 extra shots of espresso coming right up…
Fancy some????
So we went to meet up with Luschka and the cute Kyra (from Diary of a First Child) today to have some coffee and have conversations about all and nothing.
BTW click on the thumbs to see the whole photos!The idea was to leave TB at school and make it to South Kensington to meet them up at 11am. Of course we were fashionably late but it was an immense pleasure to meet the 2 ladies. It is awesome to meet someone what has been through kinda the same things I’ve been as a child. Luschka is a military child and has been all over the place more times than she can count… I know that feeling being a Missionair’s kiddo between my 6 and 14 years of age. Even after they settled down (ish) it was difficult to create ruts… and it still is for me today, but we work on it.
This was also Mr.A’s 1st Tube trip, and while me and @glowstars were so very excited for that he really couldn’t care less. LOL!
The adventure continued as we decided that after having coffee we should go to Harods and get more coffee… this time for our fancy Nespresso machine. Poor Vic wasn’t quite impressed for not being able to go in the Chocolate Cafe (she’s giving it up for Lent… ) I’ve also learned a very important lesson today: Always tip the dude that stands in the toilets handing you towels to dry your hand. If you don’t the lifts will electrocute you one the way out… This is no joke… It happened to me… and it wasn’t a mild shock… So I could only assume it was vengeance!
Because we got there fashionably late we also had to leave fashionably late so we were a bit late to pick TB up from school… woops… good job I am really easy to make friends… hehehe… The mum of one of TB’s friends picked him up and we met up with them at the park later. It was freezing!!! But they didn’t seem to notice playing like there are no problems in this world… hehehe Bless them
Didn’t get anything that NEEDED to be sorted done today, but it was a great day away from it all… We’re reviewing life at the moment and taking big decisions, so I suppose we REALLY need this day out…
Fish and Chips closed our day with Golden Key…
wow… 2:40am… better try and get some shut-eye… Tomorrow is back to business as usual… WITHOUT letting the wife sidetrack me with other stuff… (yup… all here fault hehehehe)
zya!!
When things in your life seem almost too much to handle, When 24 hours in a day is not enough; remember the mayonnaise jar.
A professor stood before his philosophy class and had some items in front of him..
When the class began, wordlessly, he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and start to fill it with golf balls.
He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was.
The professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured it into the jar. He shook the jar lightly.
The pebbles rolled into the open areas between the golf balls.
He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was.
The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else.
He asked once more if the jar was full. The students responded With an unanimous ‘yes.’
The professor then produced two cups of coffee from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar, effectively
filling the empty space between the sand.
The students laughed.
‘Now,’ said the professor, as the laughter subsided,
‘I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life.
The golf balls are the important things – God, family, children, health, friends, and favorite passions Things that if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full.
The pebbles are the things that matter like your job, house, and car.
The sand is everything else –
The small stuff.
‘If you put the sand into the jar first,’ he continued, ‘there is no room for the pebbles or the golf balls.
The same goes for life.
If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff, You will never have room for the things that are important to you.
So…
Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. holeheartedly worship your God, Play with your children. Take time to get medical checkups. Take your partner out to dinner.
There will always be time to clean the house and fix the dripping tap.
‘Take care of the golf balls first — The things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.’
One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the coffee represented.
The professor smiled.
‘I’m glad you asked’.
It just goes to show you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of cups of coffee with a friend.’
Now go on… share this with other “Golf Balls”
I just did……
zya!!
