The United States of America ever the ‘land of the free’ has just rejected an appeal from Christopher Pittman against a 30 year prison term *without parole* for killing his grandparents. You might think at first glance this is a ‘reasonable’ sentence for the crime and he was lucky to escape a death penalty. However … More Bizarre Justice in the USA
On a roll as far as forgetting things go. Mothers birthdays aren’t a thing one should forget… even if she’s not aware of them passing herself! It’s not as if I don’t *know* when it is after all… and yet not only did I mark it by forgetting her card, not an unusual event as … More Happy Birthday Mum!
Decided to try upgrading the software at the Ice Skating site to ‘improve’ it’s capabilities… and of course screwed the entire site instead 🙂 Not a biggie really as it has only just been installed. I just delete everything and start over… might take and hour or two but what the hell . May as … More That'll l'arn me (not)!
No holiday for me that’s for sure. Up at 4:30 a.m., out with wife and youngest child. Wife goes to the train station, youngest goes to skating practice. From practice we go to the foster agency where the youngest is picked up to go see her ‘birth mother’ and I get home to the eldest… … More Holiday? For who?
Picked the eldest daughter up from camp. It’s much easier getting there in daylight… and more so when you know the way!! 🙂 Not that she was ready when we arrived even tho everyone else *but* her had gone home. She’d gone for a bushwalk with one of the leaders so we havd to wait … More It's easier the second time.
I’ve been wondering if we’re still being ‘watched’ by those loons who invaded the place the other week? I’d like to regularise the ‘commenting’ so that I don’t have to keep having to click ‘approve’ every time. It’s a bit of a drag that! 🙂 On a theme, the wife said she saw the ex-rellies … More Are we being watched I wonder?
Finally got proper access to the domains… as you might be able to tell from the previous post… and I’ve made a start setting up the Skater Girl blog. There’s little on there as yet other than a few miserable posts because (a) I’ve only just set it up and (b) I can’t take new … More Skater Girl
Now registered http://www.australianiceskating.com and beginning to develop it into a portal for Australian skaters to use to communicate with each other and get comprehensive news about the sport as it develops in Australia. Not a lot there yet it’s true… but the work has begun. At the very least I’ll learn more about the sport … More Step… step… step…
Just transferred the remaining domains to Jumba. We now have domains for 15 sites ready to go. I just need the time to sort them! 🙂 I’m considering ‘developing’ TalkTidy.com again back into a site for Welsh ex-pats to visit. I figure a forum and a gallery etc might be useful additions. Well it’s an … More One step at a time.
Some detail on the youngest daughters broken finger… for those mildly interested. 🙂 Seems that she broke it before she even registered at class in the morning! She’d been playing with friends on the hill above the classrooms (the school is set in some quite attractive bushland) and had fallen. She’d put her hand to … More The littlest finger!
