Link List – August


It’s raining, it’s pouring, and the old man is snoring. I know, I should welcome the rains, considering the monsoons are so late and all, and I am grateful for them, I really am. But it makes getting out of the house a messy and tiresome affair, doubled when you also consider a preschooler and all the illnesses spreading around.

Anyway, there is something to be said for the joy of sitting indoors watching the rain or curling up with a good book and a fluffy blanket, or sitting in front of your computer with a steaming cup of tea and reading some great blog posts!!

So, here’s some linking fun for all of you, with a bunch of the best posts around!!
