Bank Holiday

Posted on by Jag

It’s Bank Holiday weekend this weekend. Well, here in UK it is. And an excellent weekend of rain. An excellent weekend to waste away time indoors in front of a computer randomly reading blogs and such like. So here’s a colourful picture of some chappals to brighten up a dull and grey morning.

Pop over to Neha’s place to view the “Zimmers” singing The Who’s My Generation.

Drool over ideas for incorporating mangoes into heavenly-looking desserts at Indira’s wonderfully photogenic Indian cooking pages.

Contemporary Jacks

Posted on by Jag

There is a game I used to play when I was a child called “Jacks“. Today’s version is a lot easier to play, the “jacks” are bigger, and they’re made of plastic and multi-coloured, as opposed to made of metal and grey. And the bouncy ball that comes with it is a lot bigger and bouncier than it was in the old days.

Jacks: Still as much fun as it I remember it used to be.
