Schmoofly ,

Meanwhile Stateside…

It’s a little weird having best friends who don’t know you, but there we go, Fi & Jane more than qualify on almost every level and I hang out with them daily. They remind me of home, goodness and are very funny into the excellent bargain

Love Them

It’s like listening to old pals chatting and I am so thankful for this podcast, I feel less lonely and just smile to myself when Fi and Jane are on. :)

Still chuckling with Fi and Jane

I followed from their last gig and am glad I did! These two are brilliant: insights into things important and things that are simply part if our lives. I’d love to hear more about Nancy and Dora, though.
