The Hibiscus Notes
So why a blog? I've heard the comment that bloggers are self-obsessed. I'd like to say that we certainly aren't but we do have opinions - we like to comment on life, the papers, other people's actions - you don't have to agree with us but you may find that we reflect your line of thinking. So read on and if you have an opinion...share it. If you like our blog...talk about it. If you object....say so but be polite about it. We can disagree but let's do so agreeably. Enjoy reading and if you'd like to contribute then let us know.
