Bringing the Dead Sea to my living room

I may have mentioned that I have recently been to Israel. So when Canvas Dezign asked me if I would like to receive a free canvas print for the purpose of a review, I jumped at the opportunity and sent them one of my favourite photos from the trip.

Within 48 hours the canvas had arrived and I’m thrilled to bits with it. The quality is excellent and it means I now have a bit of the Dead Sea in my living room. Well not actually my living room as the title of this post suggests, but in my office. The words office/small box room didn’t work so well in a blog post title, you understand.

Review: Sky Bingo in partnership with Netmums

I’ll be completely honest. It took me a while to understand the attraction of on-line bingo. It’s not a game I have played for a very long time, but for me one of the best things about bingo is scanning the numbers on your tickets and dabbing them with a pen when they are called out.

With on-line bingo the numbers are marked off for you, and sometimes you can have as many as 120 tickets in one game. There is no skill involved, just luck, so initially I couldn’t see the attraction, but eventually I did start to ‘get’ it.

What happened when we joined a random queue

This really isn’t what you expect to see in the middle of a busy city centre, but when the heavens opened during a recent visit to Sheffield we decided to join the queue of people waiting to go inside, despite the fact that we had no idea what we were about to walk into.

Given that the ticket sellers appeared to work at the local cathedral, it was quite possible we were walking into some sort of organised religious worship never to emerge quite the same again.
