I found that when asked a question like, "Do I look fat in these black jeans?", instead of saying, "Yes", perhaps sticking something like, "I really like you in those green ones", is a better choice.

Some questions don't require a straight-forward answer, that's what I mean with 'timing'. It could still be true though.

I just have to stick a notes "around", to remind me. My partner has stopped asking me why they're there and what they mean. 😉

I will be sticking with my book for a while now.

I finished Fist of God and enjoyed it. I am now reading James Patterson's "Private Berlin". I really like his short chapters as I am often interrupted during reading.

I have been sticking to gardening on my balcony today, now that's a good sign of spring approaching! Geraniums, lavender and new planting soil. Vacuum cleaning as well. Window cleaner will be here in a couple of weeks. A new life.
