Here’s a photo Kelley asked me to take of my new shoes – and if there’s one thing one shoe-fetishist must do for the other, it’s provide full purchase disclosure 🙂 I apologise for the photo quality. It was taken on our webcam because our other one is still busted.
During the week my mother was interviewed by her local paper regarding her involvement in the World Youth Day celebrations down in Sydney. This is a rough transcript of the phone conversation which occurred between us after said interview: Her: “I quoted your blog!” Me: “You did? What bit?” Her: “It was your ‘vibrant Catholic‘…
This seemingly innocuous bottle of honey caused quite the stir in our marriage last week.
