Taking far longer than I thought to get my self back to work. We’ve had a lot going on including the ongoing saga of the landscaper… and we’ve had three kids to stay… and now it’s slightky eased 🙂 The house is still a mess, made worse by the kids who seemed hell bent on … More Getting back on track slowly.
It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here… a month at least… and a lot has happened in that time. Can’t stop to discuss it right now… typically… but will be back later on once I’ve mad a start on the disrepair and grot the house has accumulated. Hints on what’s happened include an … More Hello!
Was reading in the papers today about twins… boy and girl aged around two… children of a couple who had IVF treatment in order to have them. Kids were left in the care of their grandfather. Seems they climbed up a three metre ladder to reach the roof of the household water tank. The roof … More Funny old life 😦
Yes I *am* aware we weren’t… but still I thought an update might be in order now I’m finally back on here properly. Surrounding me at my workstation are the fruits of modern life… four computers each carrying out a different if small task. The laptop is running some French ‘cash bar’ thing which may … More Talking of money (2)
As I said, I’m sitting quietly by my workstation trying to earn a few dollars, as I do, but the computer has started running like treacle. Reboot yes… but why? I can’t see any obvious reason for it and *that’s* what’s driving me crazy… well one of the things that’s driving me crazy… if you’re … More Technology woes.
Amazing how fast time passes when you’re having fun… or just plain busy. It seems only a day or two ago that I was getting concerned about the imminent arrival of the oldies and how we were going to be able to prepare in time for their stay… and now I turn around and six … More Tempus fugit.
Money quietly trickling in… but so many things to do that don’t really *earn* much… pain in the bun sometimes. Folks are still here but with only two weeks left before they fly out. I have a *huge* amount of work to do and no time to do it… maybe making a list would help… … More Sighh…..
… totally sucks… bigtime. This is a load of crap… so slow… when it works that is… I’ve called to get it fixed but they just say “If it gets worse call us”… so I do… and it doesn’t get fixed. The time is coming to shift ISP’s again I think – maybe back to … More My ADSL connection
Seems strange to go back to writing about real life… but for David Hicks what he is experiencing is nothing *like* ‘real life’. For years he has been locked away in a US run Cuban jail after being detained illegally following the US invasion of Afghanistan. After being abandoned to his fate by the Australian … More David Hicks wins one round!
And after all that I can get back to the old site and carry on where I left off… black to norman.
