My music buddy Michael's daughter just exploded. Her new baby was due in two-and-a half-months, but her water broke, and it was an emergency. The baby was born in the hospital, weighing under 3 lbs. It was born by c-section....

Fleur 'Michael's daughter just exploded.' Sorry but that's a horrible way to describe what she has been through. Glad mother and baby are doing well. These days so many babies survive extremely early births but suffer major life-long problems as a result.

Fleur I think St Patrick's day celebrations are much more of a 'thing' in the US than in Ireland. I have Irish friends and none of them would ever dream of contaminating their beer by dying it green, for example!

I have always enjoyed Sigourney Weaver's acting ever since I first saw her in "Ghost Busters". I often wonder about her first name. I had never seen it before. Come to find out that at the age of 14, she changed her name of...

I get up in the morning and fold the covers down to air the bed - one of those old-fashioned pieces of wisdom that turns out to be backed up by modern science. Making the bed – i.e. putting the covers back in place right away –...

I’m not an indoor person. There’s only so much time I can spend shut inside before I get ‘cabin fever’ – and in my case most of one day is about the limit. By then I’ll be looking for any excuse to go outside; to take something...

Fleur Basically a grid is drawn on the ground - not sure if you can make it out in the photo - with numbers arranged like this, each within a separate square of the same size: 10 9 78 6 45 3 2 1 ___ You can have as many players as you want but...

Fleur @DaddyEvil I just thought it was worth asking (about the area) because I know I got confused before when talking about gallons and finding they were different.

Fleur That is such a lovely thing to do. It can be much more of a problem now that families tend to move around more. Although having said that my own great-grandmother is buried somewhere in Calcutta!
