where is/has the summer gone.....??

Ok so I managed to get through the best part of a month with no posts, but hey I don't think anyone is actually reading my stuff anyway?? Note to self, need to market your blog better, or at least at all! But then, do I want lots of folk reading especially as I am appearing ill disciplined and not exactly creative?

Action for today: pick a few  victims... sorry followers and target them as readers

The last month has seen the plates in over drive: From a family trip to Turkey, (avoid Marmaris is you dislike a Blackpool like setting but in significantly warmer weather, about 40 degrees) to a conference in Crewe, (medieval setting, four poster beds and IT chat???)  a caravan weekend in Eyemouth, (bit wet, took dogs, no dogs allowed?) to finally a weekend in Perth playing polo at gorgeous Errol (living on the floor of the horse box for the weekend)

And still the washing, ironing and hoovering awaits, just with less time to do it!!

I met a few fellow plate spinners on my travels, and we shared our experiences. It was gratifying to realise that you are never alone in your juggling, and that a large number of (mainly women, but I dares say some men) people attempt the daily tasks of juggling work, family and life in equal measure.

We did decide on one tip, the benchmark for an adequately tidy home is ...as long as you can see the floor, you are fine!
