Does your computer suffer from amnesia?

Fortunately I am not that old to be so doddery that my memory is shot – yet.  It’s around the corner for all of us someday I suppose but wouldn’t it be great to be able to just go out and buy something that would expand your own memory just like you can do with your machine?…computer memory for your brain in other words.

But of course the human brain is a computer in itself, the most sophisticated one in all creation when you think about it, so how come our machines are better catered for than we owners of the human variety? They are both the same, our brains and our computers; they work fine for a long time then all of a sudden they crash or just get generally confused.

Actually, come to think of it, my PC’s memory is often far more reliable than my own grey matter…

Catch the sun in your hand

‘Catch a falling star and put it in your pocket, save it for a rainy day…’ – I remember the words from that song very well as it was one of my Dad’s favourites, sung by Perry Como of course.  Whilst you cannot take the lyrics of that song all that literally maybe you could if ole Perry was singing about the sun!

The latest photo craze to hit the UK recently is ‘catching the sun and holding it’ for a photo – just like in this photograph here. You have to admit it looks brilliant, but I am surprised there is any sun to catch at all going by the weather there these days.

I love the one of the cactus.

Put some style in your bling-thing

I cannot boast of owning alot of jewelry despite the number of hints I drop each birthday and Christmas but what lovely pieces I do own are unusual and quite individual in style. I reckon if you are going treat yourself to something like that it is always that much nicer to get something different that you wont see loads of other women wearing.

I especially like to go for handcrafted designer jewelry; this way you can sometimes even have a hand in designing your own piece and also be assured that your ring/bracelet, or whatever, is one of a kind.

More couples are doing this nowadays; rather than choosing an engagement or wedding ring from a display case in a store they are opting to design their own, or purchase from an artisan who designs their own unique range. It just makes things that little bit more special.
