Looking for a reason to maffick

I’m taking a break from the frustrations of trying to secure a low cost airline ticket.  Why, in the name of all things woolly do the travel sites tell you there are X number of tickets available at a given price, and then when you choose the option you like they tell you “We’re sorry, the [...]

Musings from an empty house….

….well, if we don’t count four legged people that is.  All the men have gone to work, and for the first time in days and days, I have the house to myself.
