As you might be able to guess this is part of something about guests for dinner. (Might be something in the title that gives it away.) To find out more about the brief series, check this introduction post and then find out who turned up first for dinner. As I mentioned, the order of the […]
Read More Who’s Coming 4 Dinner? The Second GuestThere’s a work colleague that I get on with. I’ll just wait for you to let that sink it. True story, though. I get on with this colleague at work, we have a good rapport. One of the reasons for that is because he is very good at his job and I acknowledge that. Another […]
Read More Who’s Coming For Dinner? IntroWhy do some people think that cheese belongs to a salad? Really bizarre. Nevertheless, for those of us who don’t need the cheese thanks, we are still left with the option of the salad with a meal.

Read More Would You Like The Salad?Domineering, nagging and suffocating. Day after day he would have to endure her with her attitude. She never touched him physically, but every time she opened her mouth to say something to him, it felt like daggers piercing him. On and on she would go. Relentless in her demands.

I say notorious, there’s something about leaving February that lets me know in no uncertain terms that this year is in full swing. It’s remarkable really. This month has flown by with indecent haste.

Read More In Agreement – A March Dryden UpdateTrust is a massive concept. It’s amazing seeing how that changes in the years of development of a baby to an infant to a teenager.
