I'm just this guy... y'know? :)
Just got stung by a bee. I’m not sure if bee stings are as bad as wasp stings… but I think I’m about to find out. It looked like a small bee and it doesn’t hurt much so maybe I’ll be ok. I called the doctor to see if I should go and sit in … More Interesting
This morning I looked at the bill for yesterday’s visit to the supermarket at new shopping centre. The total bill was $149.00 for the one small trolley full. For a start I bought some salmon pieces… 4 cost me $20. At the same time I bought 4 kilos of chicken wings, two small whole birds … More This ain't right!
Seems the answer to that is *yes* I *did* miss another day! Not sure how that happened… probably just too tired to write. I’d spent the usual two hours plus of the morning in the gym, then rushed home to gather up the kids to go and pick up two *other* kids, then rush on … More I missed a day?
In the interests of expanding the range of my exercise repertoire, I thought a nice walk to the new shopping centre would be interesting. Not only would I get more calories burned off, but the kids would be hoicked off the computers for an afternoon as well. What’s more I could do a little shopping … More Lord it's hot out there!
The youngest daughter was in the pool the other day and somehow contrived to hit her own eye with her knee! We thought nothing of it since she has scrapes and bumps all the time. This morning however we have a surprise – she has a black eye!! I’ve not seen one of those for … More How do I explain this?
Sad to say yes… but not yet. She’s being shipped over by her company sometime this month for a two week ‘fact finding mission’ where she can meet members of a company they just took over and do the usual ‘press the flesh’ thing. I think she’ll be spending a week up north in Edinburgh, … More Wife in the UK?
Many thanks to the support section at Jumba. Chris (the tech) managed to sort out that somehow a .htaccess file went astray during the move and he reinstated it. All is now as it was and my inane (insane?) ramblings from the past are once again available for posterity to examine and wonder what sort … More Archives functioning again!
Last night we used the pool for the first time this summer… not that summer is here yet of course. The weather has been so nice we thought we’d use the gas heater for a few hours to bring the temperature up to 28ºC which was just about bearable. We’d been out bowling for a … More In the pool again.
Just discovered the ‘Archive’ section of the site is no longer working. I reported it to the host service support section in case it’s a database problem, but I know the posts are there because I can get at them via the management page. But of course I want them onsite. Currently we can’t even … More Not again?
I was relating my tale of dislike for the new shopping centre to my father and telling him I’d bought a shopping trolley bag thingy so that I could walk to the local shops to buy day-to-day necessities. He suggested that in keeping with my ‘shopaholic’ tendencies I ought to rename myself under the new … More Trolleyholic?
