Sometimes, I like to be Barbie. 🙂
I loved the film, which starred Rysn Gosling as Ken 🙂
I still have my very first Barbie. It is from the days when Mattel used to engrave the word Barbie on her bottom. 😃


I am watching “The Mummy” starring Tom Cruise.
Do you know that feeling when you are running around chasing around after children and you only take in a few snippets of a film? Well, not this evening. I am actually watching this film this evening. 🙂
I’m a Mummy 😉 I’m any, black or white. I am white with a tiny bit of black in me. That is evident in my skin tone…..it has nothing to do with a suntan as I have skin colour throughout the year. I have more of an exotic colour skin tone. 🙂

Although FRAN is the shortened form of my name, it is also the acronym of my full name:
Frances Rose Agnes Napper.
I was Christened with the name Frances, and it has never been changed. I was the first born, and I was named after my father, Francis Charles (Christian names), Frank for short.
My father passed away a few years ago. He never wrote on social media. Just me.
Here’s a memory of my daughter Lauren and I…..and our shadows;)

Wonderful! I was listening to “The Armed Man: Sanctus” by Karl Jenkins
This is a favourite. “O Fortuna” Carmina Barana by Andre Rieu.
I was listening to “Für Elise” Bagatelle by Ludwig van Beethoven. It is indeed one of my favourite pieces. I had a musical box with a ballerina who used to dance to this, when you wound it up. My lovely childhood memories. ❤️
Aww, Aled Jones on Classic fm. I can remember the young Aled Jones and the Toys ‘R’ Us advertising campaign, the recording propelled 15-year-old Aled into stardom.
Aled has been known to sing a section in falsetto on his tours, much to the delight of audience members.”
Listening to classical music can be soothing and beneficial for mental well-being. I find that my productivity significantly improves when I incorporate classical music into my work environment, i.e., doing the housework. 🙂
This is not my car, though. It is one I photographed. I love the colour. 🙂

This is so romantic. 🩷🩷🩷🩷
As the sun dips low, the sky aglow,
Love whispers softly, in colors that flow.
A tender glow where shadows play,
The heart beats slower at the close of day.
In hues of pink, of gold, of red,
Like words unsaid, love’s softly spread.
A quiet peace, yet passion’s fire,
In every glance, a sweet desire.
The world stands still, the moment’s true,
As dusk embraces me and you.
Like the sun’s last kiss on the earth so wide,
Love lingers gently, as time slips aside.
As darkness falls and stars awake,
In love’s soft warmth, we hesitate.
For like the sunset, love fades away,
But its memory lingers, day after day.
“We’re A Couple Of Swells“
…lol I love this! 😁😁
