A Book and it's Cover

Is it wrong to judge a book by its cover? I think in the literally sense maybe when talking obviously about a book. However, even then I have seldom chosen a bad book based on its cover. When taking into consideration the cover of a book you have to remember to look at it in its entirety and that this would include the blurb on the back cover as well.

When looking at this principle where people are concerned I have never been wrong when judging them by their covers or how I find them from a first impression (remember to look them up and down now!!) I do of course try and give them the benefit of the doubt that I am taking them as I see them from a first impression, but I am always proved right with my gut instinct.

Maybe this could be put down to women’s intuition, but I can spot a person who is out for themselves from the off and I am rarely wrong. Lol talk about blowing my own trumpet. These people always show their true colours even if it takes some people longer to catch on than others. These people also tend not to have many life long friends either, as they have normally betrayed them.

I might be venting a bit from personal experience as well, but I am thinking should I go with my first instinct from the off or should I wait for people and give them the benefit of the doubt? I think given my nature I will always give people the benefit of the doubt and be glad when I am proved wrong. I might not have an army of friends but I know a lot of people and the ones I consider friends are all loyal and trustworthy. I know that when in a spot of bother they will be there for me no questions asked.

I think you are right to go with your instinct as in 99% of cases it will (probably! LOL) be correct. There is always the danger though that you will miss that 1% and that's often where the uncertainty and angst lie as it might take a while to prove that your initial instinct was right!

28 Years Later

My word I can’t believe that 28 years ago this month I met my best friend. Who would have thought it? We have been together through thick and thin, there have been highs and lows but like any relationship you have to work at it. We can remember that our first argument was about the size of a killer whale, I think I said it was as big as a house. Goodness knows. Anyway, we have had some other disagreements since then but when it comes down to it we are still there for each other. I think we also know when we need some space and so if we don’t hear off one another for a couple of days it’s not a big thing. Ms James is my best friend for many reasons. I know she is always there, she is very good at advice although can do with listening to her own wise words now and again, but can’t we all. Also she doesn’t judge. I know I can tell her anything on this planet and she won’t judge me and be nothing but a friend. I love her quirk...

VW Bus Birthday Cake

It’s that time of year again the fantastic Mr Bus’ birthday. Now last year I decided to design and make him a digger cake, this year of course I had to equal that effort or go one better. I had a few ideas in the pipeline and decided to ask the Birthday boy what he would prefer. We went with a VW Bus cake. Now I started with baking a lemon drizzle loaf cake, whilst this was cooling had the daunting thought this was not going to be high enough, so baked another lemon loaf cake, this time without the drizzle, so that I could square off the top to sit the other one on top of it. After these had cooled down, it was time to build, placing the loaf cakes one on top of the other with a layer of vanilla butter cream in the middle, I covered the cakes all over in butter cream. I then set about with the icing. I thought it best to start with the white top and draped it over the cakes, just leaving enough for a slight overlap at the bottom. ...

A Year On

I tend to not like to blog too much about serious things, as it can all get a bit bogged down. However, I would like to reflect on the past year, and truly I must say that everything happens for a reason. My 30th year started in disaster with what was meant to be a lovely trip to Rome with my boyfriend at the time, which was on my list of places to visit since goodness knows when. Instead we got to Rome and I got dumped and found a person who I considered a friend was truly the opposite. Still we managed to make the best out of a bad situation and I still got to see the things I really wanted to see but obviously my heart wasn’t in it and I was reluctant to throw my euro into the Trevi fountain not particularly wanting to return at that point. The next few months passed in some what of a blur, but luckily I have amazing friends who were there for me and pulled me through. I kept myself busy and developed quite the social life for myself and so I was never left to mull in my ...
