Started this morning with a song.

Nothing like a good song to get you going in the morning.

How do you start your mornings?

Today it was reading the newspapers and TRF on the laptop with a cup of coffee in bed followed by my dear Miss Jody and two kids jumping in shortly thereafter.

I wake up with my 19 month - old around 7 am, and feed her, change her, etc. Then, we go outside and play - that's how the day starts...

How do I start my morning?

Well, it all depends on what I've eaten the previous night!!! If it's been some great, spicy Indian food.......rest assured the morning call is usually a LOUD, rip-roaring blast that sends vibrations into the neighbour's bedroom!!

Dave, I'll dedicate my curry tonight to you. In fact, my diet consists mainly of curry. The last time I had something else was 2 weeks ago and that upset my stomach.
Is vindaloo ok or would you prefer I had something else ?
