In The Mood For

{ordering a French crêpe machine so that they come out flawless}

This weekend I'll be attending both a funeral and a birthday [not on the same day] and although  these ceremonies seem so antagonic they concomitantly really have a connection which is life - one signalling the farewell of life, the other its celebration; one allows us to reflect on the meaning of life and death, the other offers continuity and hope for the living. Together these ceremonies give friends and relatives an opportunity to express the love and respect they feel for someone who was/is important to them. I hope you all have a great weekend and that you cease the days the best possible way! I'm in the mood for..
