Some bloggers are crashing my computer!
For some reason whenever I try to read posts by certain bloggers, the whole blogit page crashes and becomes non responsive! I am able to write posts, read comments on my posts and sometimes read other bloggers posts, generally if I get to them through my comments page. But the words of these...

Work, weekends and whatever…
Weekend mornings, when I don’t have to get out of bed early, are my favorite type of morning. As I type this I am propped up on my pillows, still in bed. Yes, I have been up to put a load of laundry on, but I had the luxury of being able to return to bed. My boys are still asleep and I have a...

The first sign of disquiet
I knew it couldn’t last. I was astonished it had lasted so long. The peace between my youngest two sons disappeared. Well, it’s not as bad as it seems, they can still sit in the same room as each other, but there were definite signs of discontent between them. Without wanting to put the blame on...

Fun with the boys!
I’d forgotten just how wonderful my two youngest boys are. It’s so much fun having them here. The day after they arrived we hit the shopping centre. Both of them wanted to go clothes shopping. Who said boys don’t like shopping? We traipsed through that many stores looking for just the right outfits....

My boys arrive – WOO HOO!!!
My two youngest sons arrived yesterday evening. I picked them up from the main train station. The train was late arriving, so I paced anxiously until they got there. It was so good to see them again! And they have grown. I suppose children do that to you, although they are hardly children any more....

The intriguing Mr Eye Contact
To update those of you who haven’t heard of Mr Eye Contact and to remind those of you who have, I will go back a bit in time. I will also apologise because I’ve deleted most of the posts on my “Suddenly Single, Forty Something and Female” blog, so you won’t be able to reread them. In August 2004 I...

Happy New Year!
It’s the first day of 2006 and I have so much to write about! This year has certainly begun in an interesting fashion. It was 42.9C yesterday, New Year’s Eve. That’s 109F. The day before it was 41C and the day before that was 38C. You get the picture. I lasted at home without air conditioning until...

Upheaval
Upheaval - a sudden, violent disruption or upset: “the psychic upheaval caused by war” The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition. Upheaval is also the title of the book written by my grandmother. Yesterday, for no particular reason, I picked up the one copy of her...

Being held together with tape and balanced on remote controls
That describes my laptop at the moment, my only computer. It was a reconditioned model when I bought it two years ago and it certainly hasn’t gotten any younger. The battery is well past its use by date, so I have to have electricity to run it. But now the thingy at the end of the cord that plugs...

Too much to eat, too much to drink and far too much garlic!
That describes my Christmas lunch. Christmas has come and gone, for me it was a mixture of adventure and fun. Adventure because I packed up my contribution to Christmas lunch and set off to catch a train and then a tram to my friend’s place. Now I’m not used to public transport, usually I drive...
