Pacing and Decorating (Preparing For The Decorator)

In a short while I am having 2 rooms redecorated and carpeted (not before time, they were last done 25 years ago!)  This will be the last 2 in the house, as I’ve had the others done during the time since my recovery. One room is my ‘office’/come lolling about room, and the other is […]

Where is 100%?

How can anyone know what is 100%?   Why are so many people searching for it?   What does it mean anyway?   Is perfection possible?   Is perfection desirable?   Thinking about these questions got me musing again, while sitting waiting for a food delivery.
