to anyone who is in awe of nature upon noticing a dandlion life - one minute it's yellow and then you look back and it's all white and fluffy and ready to catch the next puff of wind. Why is it so determined to seed itself? Are they planning to take over the world?!
to anyone who just LOVED the Royal Wedding today - wonderful, just wonderful.

to anyone who is a single parent - maximum respect to you... at least my sole parenting is only for a set time due to work and I know that I have a strong, handsome, vaguely thoughtful, kind, funny (ish), sensible man coming back to me. How you do it alone forever I do not know, hence the respect.

to anyone who really hates 'text speak' in emails etc. No, it's not gr8 and I didn't LMAO!
