What is the most memorable gift you have ever been given? I think that most presents get kind of forgotten about at some point, even the very best ones. This got me thinking about what gift I could receive which I would never ever forget about. It would certainly take a while to forget about a present of Mario Lemieux rookie cards. I say this because I have absolutely no idea who the bold Mario.

I took my little girl to the circus yesterday. As the clowns starting falling about in time honoured fashion and a rather overweight lady made some pigeons turn round on wheels I slipped in that sort of weird, popcorn munching state which overcomes all of us at the big top. I worked out later on that it was only the third visit to the circus in my life. A quick poll of a few other.

I have never been a fan of bling. I once wore a ring which reflected the sun at certain hours of the day but maybe now it is time for me to start spending some serious cash on looking cool. I think I will start with some zebra seat covers. Are these cool or what? I would be very happy to drive around with this kind of seat in my car, and my daughter would.

I love learning new things. Why, only yesterday I discovered that if you add warm yoghurt to grated apple it makes a kind of mushy goo which looks a lot worse than it tastes. Is there anything else I can learn today which won’t turn my stomach? I had genuinely never heard of Husqvarna sewing machines until 5 minutes ago. Sure, I was vaguely aware of the fact that a market exists for machines which.

It is almost time to go on another exciting trip away somewhere. As usual, I am worrying about my documents, my dodgy stomach and, most of all, about the presents to bring back. Buying gifts for people is a tricky business. I once spent hours agonising over which woolly hat to buy my mum. She then never wore it once and I think I saw the cat sleeping in it the last time I visited..
