Weebles wobble but they don't fall down
Last night I came home (in the wet and dark) to discover the neighbours recycling all over my front yard. My house is kind of set down from the road and when the wind blows it is kind of a recep...
Me and Mrs Jones
Sorry I have been so far unsuccessful in my Smurf photo posting. I have downloaded both Picasso and Photobucket, just need to set aside some time to fiddle around I guess (I say that like I am r...
Can you see me?
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B7O5IizuXxIjcFhMdlNXcGNBdUk not at all sure if I am doing this right. This is a pic of me on my recent Fiji adventure.
Smurfing and stuff
My house is about 8 minutes drive from the CBD (at the weekend when there is no traffic). They point I am trying to make is that I don’t live in a little rural idle with a few sheep on the hill ...
I guess that's why they call it the blues
I don’t want to hex it but I’m thinking I may have lucked out with the new neighbours. They are quiet as little church mice. I plan on starting off well (hopefully) this time and will pop over ...
I ain't no holla back girl
I had a fun weekend. Saturday I had a belated birthday lunch (hers not mine) with Janey. She had free tickets to the movie “Dior and I” so we went to the matinee. It was a fly on the wall stor...
So kiss me and smile at me
I got back from Fiji on Monday and back to work on Tuesday. I enjoyed the holiday but I really think I am more of an urban dweller, 5 nights on a tropical island was just a little bit long for m...
Party time
The party turned out to be more fun than I have had in ages. Rich had still been non-commital about coming (not unusual), he didn’t say he wasn’t but he didn’t mention it again after the initial ...
Living la vida loca
Might be a bit of an overstatement, but Ricky Martin is coming to town, and my friend who is on a roll contest wise has entered to win tickets. Seriously she is amazing, I haven‘t paid for a mov...
Funny bunch
My friends and I communicate via email during the work day. As I have already mentioned my office is deadly quiet (think library), and a personal phone call would be very much frowned on. Yeah,...
The "good" old days
After my week of social butterfly-ness the weekend was pretty sedate. On Friday night I did go out to a mall with my friend Lou and then we had dinner. I don’t see Lou so often these days. It’...
Charming, not sincere
I have had a busy week so far. I think I may have mentioned that all my friends are still on leave from work – we get 4 statuary days over Xmas/New Year, so you don’t have to dip into too much va...
Relationship status - complicated....
Christmas turned out a lot better than I expected. My SIL had mentioned that when they visited my Mother she was very unresponsive, and at one stage turned to face the wall. This is very unlike...
I'm sorry to tell you, you have been eliminated
One TV programme that the roommate and I watch together religously is the Amazing Race . We spend an inordinate amount of time discussing who would have to do which challenge when we do the race...
Guy Fawkes and knitted tea cosies.
It is 12deg C here today, 12! Hang on let me just convert that. 53deg f. For some of you that live in cold climes you might be thinking “big fat hairy deal”, but let me remind you of one small...
Got on board a west bound 747
All too soon the sun (well a bit smoggy really) was up on our final day. Back into our trusty Ana and soon look at us we are cruising down Hollywood Boulevard. Parked up in a building there and ...
Cruising on the Interstate, wo oh...
The next few days in Vegas were spent doing Vegas type things. Although we did do a lot of shopping. I stocked up on Old Navy casual gear, Lane Bryant Bras, got some winter boots, shoes, I disc...
Adventure - part deux
So on to Vegas. Ya’all know about “what happens in Vegas”, but we had a slightly different plan. We had done very little shopping in NYC (which is highly unusual), and all had a number of thing...
Hell no, I don't want to go
All too soon it was 6.00am Friday and time to make a final sweep of the apartment (for left behind stuff), we had paid a cleaning bond for someone to come and actually sweep. One last Carrie mom...
Take me out to the ball game
Too quickly it is our last day in this amazing city. Changing it up a bit this morning we got on the subway early and made our way to Canal Street. We were on the hunt for cheap and cheerful so...
Uptown girls
Wednesday in New York City was a great day. We were up and out very early as we had a booking for a guided tour of the 911 Museum at 9.30am. Of course we negotiated the subway seamlessly (and on...
A bit of culture
A few specks of rain this morning, so our plan to visit the Guggenheim seemed perfect. We had plotted out our route on the subway (we also wanted to see the Alice in Wonderland fountain at Centr...
Living the highline
Why is waking up on a Monday morning so much easier in NYC? Out with the sun hat and lotion again today. We are walking the highline. It’s the sight of an old railway line that has been turned ...
Day 4 NYC. Are you ready to rock?
Sunday. Big day today. We are up and out quite early (after our prerequisite fruit salad and spinach omelettes of course). First stop was Grand Central Station. Early morning was a perfect ti...
Day 3 NYC. Candied yams and designer bargains.
Today dawned fine and clear, we were so lucky with the weather. A pleasant mid 80’s I think. (hey you try having to divide in half and subtract 15 all day to work out how warm it is in Celsius)....
