Back today from our break; enjoyed the holiday but the food was diabolical!
I never knew it was possible to mess up simple things like soup, salad and apple crumble.
The sausages and fried bread are breakfast were so inedible we fed them to the seagulls.
The regular chef was away on holiday and whoever they got to replace him must have been on work experience or something.
I've never had such disgusting food on any holiday I've ever been on!
And the shower head broke and grazed my leg and nearly scalded me with boiling water; the TV keep going on and off whenever it felt like it; and the whole place was rapidly christened Fawlty Towers by the guests.
I asked the manager if he ate at the hotel and he said no.
I'm not surprised!
Other than that the holiday was great!

Oh, tee hee! My monitor came. ;D Well I've gotta go offline to install it.
(I'm also going to remove the Alt buttons from my keyboard. Like the CapsLock button before them, they gotta go! (As far as I can tell the only thing they're for is creating weird scary moments when you think you just lost all your work by hitting one accidentally.)

Can you come to my house now!!! Still have all the painting to do here first, Sadie Then some work on the inside of the house. It's been crazy this year, and next year more stuff to do (once the snow clears). Hopefully that will be the end of it.

My new monitor is like a small TV (it's 23"). And I've got some kick-azz speakers too, so now I NEVER have to leave the computer, not even to go watch TV ! ;D That's Captain Meow, sitting over the top of my tower, on the right (I made a little shelf for him there - he's been using it for four years now - watches out the window and let's me know if anything goes on) Please forgive my fuzzy photography!

Alright I'll play the stupid one. What the hell is a 'fried twinkie?' It sounds positively pornographic.

Well supposedly a twinkie...and I have always seen them.....are a kind of cake snack filled with cream.....it's a big joke that they will be the only food that survives after a nuclear blast.....not positive it is made of actual food......so they take this thing.....dip it in waffle/pancake batter......fry it on a stick and then sprinkle powdered sugar on it..........

I'm off to France tomorrow for a walking holiday. I've been feeling tired recently and when on Saturday I got so exhausted walking up a valley that I became unable to move, thought I'd better see the doctor. I was due to for a routine thyroid check but didn't think it was that; it turned out to be anaemia. I've got iron pills but they won't make me feel better for a week or two.
I'll take lots of books and hope for the best!

Today, I'll work on developing an advertising campaign -starting with actually making a link ad. Then Thursday I'll start work on the October edition of Bits & Pieces. I keep pretty busy for someone with no job! Well, I guess that's a good thing.
Summer has begun to wane here (northeast US). The first leaves are hitting the ground, and I have worn a sweater once (rats...you know the first time you need to do that, you figure you'll go right back to summer tomorrow but...once it starts..it continues. And in this neck of the woods that means we're done with our oh-too-short summer and heading into 7 or 8 months of going into winter/winter/and coming out of winter (so colder, cold, then muddy!) That's what we do here.
By the way, speaking of the magazine, anyone got any submissions? We need content!

Well...I set out mouse traps last night......all I did was feed them.....so I made them massively more sensitive.......they snapped about four times just trying to set them down....amazed I didn't lose any fingers!!!!! (I'm rather jumpy now) So I better have some deceased mice later!!! I would catch them and set them free.....but unfortunately they just come back........or send replacements....I'm not sure!!!
Cool weather again this week.....high of only 80 F.
Did anyone catch Dina Lohan's interview on Dr. Phil.....holy mackeral.....it appears Lindsay may be the more sane one......how scary is that!!
