Is a home complete without plants?
In my opinion, no it isn't. I was never particularly interested in having plants. I didn't dislike them or anything, they just weren't something that excited me. Also, given my track record with flowers and how easily I seemed to be able to kill them without even trying, there was a fear that the same… Continue reading Is a home complete without plants?

Real books versus e-books
In my last post I did a Book related Q and A and one of the questions that I answered was: 'Paperback, hardback or e-book?' I answered paperback, I didn't even need to think about it, I just knew straightaway.
