I’ve spent the week cleaning. Not flicking-a-duster-about-pushing-the-vacuum-around kind of cleaning, but real deep-down-move-everything-wash-everything-throw-lots-of-things-away cleaning.
This was all caused by the demise of our old television and once it was removed to the tip it left behind an empty and very dusty space. That made the rest of the room look dusty too, which [...]

Friday 20 November 2009
I didn’t mention my two main birthday presents so thought I would now even though my birthday seems ages ago but was in fact four days! My daughters bought me a Nintendo DS and the Brain Training pack and Gordon bought me a new LG phone. I had such trouble with my [...]

Thursday 12 November 2009
Last Friday Terri, Dad and I took ourselves off to watch Bridgwater Carnival from the comfort of a grandstand seat booked several months ago. We were tucked into the corner which made it difficult to actually get to our seats, but once there we found that we were warm and dry, something [...]

Happy Bonfire Night to one and all. I hope the fireworks haven’t bothered your animals (if you have them) too much. Our neighbours have been letting them off over the course of several days and apart from the odd cat tearing through the catflap at an incredible rate of knots there don’t [...]

Now and again I’m called upon by friends to come and look at their computer because it’s running slow, playing-up or not running at all. I can go for months at a time with no-one contacting me, but I’ve come to the conclusion that computers play-up in cycles. In the past week [...]

You’ll never guess what I’ve been doing for the past week! Cleaning! Yes, me, shirker of general housework. The house is now pretty clean and a stack of stuff has been listed on Freecycle in yet another (probably doomed) attempt to declutter. It could be more aggravation than it’s worth and easier [...]

Check out this link: Exciting! (Well, it will be if the link works properly!)
That’s us. We’ve finally come out! Now all we have to do is sit back and wait for the shit to hit the fan (if you’ll pardon the pun). Gordon has already spoken to the press, as you can [...]

I went to Wedmore yesterday with my friend Mandy. She grew up around there and although it isn’t far away I’m ashamed to say I’ve never stopped there. I’ve driven through it on the way to other places and have often thought how pretty it looks, but never stopped. The weather was [...]
Been Away

Monday 12 October 2009
I’ve been away. You might have noticed. I’ve been to Portugal and various other places, but have been home long enough to have written a post about it. Unfortunately, when I got home I was so swamped with e-mails (over 1000) and letters/invoices/statements/bills relating to the business. Far too many. I set [...]

Or, translated from Portuguese (courtesy of Babel Fish so I hope it’s right), Goodbye, see you soon! I’m off to Portugal early tomorrow morning.
I’ve packed my suitcase, got the spray tan so I don’t dazzle anyone at the poolside with the whiteness of my flesh, made a list, checked it twice …. [...]
