Blog Action Day - Poverty And The Girl Effect.

Well, if you didn't know about it you might have missed it too but the 15th of this month was Blog Action Day. One day for hundreds of bloggers to post about one specific topic. Last year it was the Environment, this year it was Poverty.

When many of us are feeling the pinch as prices rise on food, fuel and the cost of living, there are many more who are far worse off than we are. As a result of several Blog Action Day blogs I read on Wednesday, I came across this:



Take your time to have a look around The Girl Effect website to find out more. It makes interesting and humbling reading.

Ponder: Soft Tops

Why would you buy a convertible/soft-top car and then not put the roof down?

The weather over the last week or so has been absolutely lovely and being the owner of a little MGF - I will put the top down at any opportunity, including in the middle of winter, if it's a sunny day.

I can't understand the people who drive around in their soft-top cars with the roof up. OK, it can get a little windy and mess up your neatly coiffed hair but if you were really that bothered - why buy one in the first place? I, for one, am making the most of it.

Ponder: Citrus Fruit

What is it about citrus fruit?

You buy a bag of oranges, clementines, mandarins or lemons. It doesn't seem to matter which and you can pretty much guarantee, that within a few days, one of them will go off.

Mmmm.
