Yesterday, I went on a cleaning rampage. I won't be defeated by domestic tasks, I can do it. All went well until I decided to go really over board, taking the net curtains down and washing them. What came out of the washer were..tatters! I didn't choose the wrong program or even put bleach in, it... Sign in to see full entry.

I H8 2 txt. Don't you? This post was triggered by a tex message I got this morning. Try as I might I couldn't make any sense of it. So, my reply was quite clear:????? Is there perhaps a text language dictionnairy to help me out? Sign in to see full entry.

I may have re-invented the wheel, but as far as I am concerned, I have coined a new word: cybernating. It's on a par with surfing or browsing the net, but for me it means finding a really good site, getting all cosy and hunkering down for a leasurely read rather than flicking from page to page....

The "personalized and personal" hype has reached a new height. Believe it or not, you can now, for the modest consideration of something like $500, get your personal eyelash weaver.

It's a road sign in the Bahamas and it shows a bright yellow chicken on a zebra crossing with the caption: Chicken Crossing!! Isn't that sweet? I wonder if turkeys are also allowed to cross there.

But I'm doing something else useful which is tidying my drawers and sorting through all the accumulated photographs. I would like to share some of them with you. I have been to South Africa on several occasions and... Sign in to see full entry.

I spent an enjoyable hour yesterday planning next years travels once Turkey time rolls around again. Definitely on the agenda are forrays to Petra in Jordan and to Egypt. Both countries are practically down the road. Given the lack of substantial income, I need to look after the pennies, so 5 star... Sign in to see full entry.

Seeing that we had no water and no electricity, my neighbours Derek and Maureen and I decided to take a trip to Ephesus, the famous trading and religious centre of ancient times. There are just so many sites around here, one is spoilt for choice. A 4 hour coach ride took us there, and although it is... Sign in to see full entry.

Thanks for all your lovely comments on my post re: no water, no electricity. I must say, that after the third day running (bad pun) it is beyond funny, no end in sight and nobody knows or tells you anything. It is even worse now insofar, as both flicker on briefly, you rush around for a quick shower... Sign in to see full entry.
