The Life and Times of Me

I have a quondry... Flickr just told me I uploaded as many as I could as a free account holder (which is only 200). So do I pay and upload? Is it worth $24 a year? (whats that in pounds?). Who has a proper account? Is it worth it?

Blooming microsoft... Recently updates for said opporating system were downloaded onto my laptop. Since then my wireless has not worked properly. It is really annoying because it is so very unpredictable.

I went to see the taming of the shrew on Saturday. An all male production. It was excellent. The second act very much played up the domestic violence aspects of the play. The Husband treating the wife in such a mannor that she eventually submitted to him. One of the most disturbing aspects of this was that he never once laid a finger on her!

Long time no Blog!

I have a job interview, although the word job does not really apply to the position as it is a three day a week volentary post at Gloucestershire Wildlife trust. Hopefully all will be good and I will be on may way south again!

I have been busy finishing me mum and dad's hall, it is now looking a little cleaner and I little greener. I have also made two and a half guiness cakes for chrimbo.

I went to Heathers for the weekend and we made sweets (fudge, peppermint creams, truffles and coconut ice) and boxes for Rosemary's favours. To me honest, that is not a job I will ever volenteer to do again!

I got a leaflet for "Prospect's" magazine. It had some fact's on the back, the one that most interested me was "Seven of America's nine founding fathers denied the divinity of Jesus" followed by; "More homes in China have a DVD player than running hot and cold water" and finally "Most British toilets flush in the key of E flat."

I got sent a good joke last night "There was a cucumber, a pickle and a willy. They had a conversation and the cucumber said 'my life is shit. When I get big, hard and juicy, they chop me up and toss me into a salad.' The pickle said "well, when I get big, fart, hard and juicy, they chop me up and toss me into vinegar.' The willy said 'when I get like that they put a rubber tent over my head, stick me into a dark room and bang my head against the wall until I throw up and faint!'"

Not that I am gloating or anything, Everton are so much better than Liverpool...

So the war between the ex-wife and girlfriend is continuing, fueled by the child who insists on me writing in his reading record. I wonder what will happen next. She keeps saying it is inappropriate because I am not his parent. But Grandma can write in it.

So I have on my first hen weekend. What are my thoughts... Well, I am not really a hanging around with lots of other women sort of person, I am infact very intimidated by lots of them. Other difficult thing was that out of 18 of us 16 were christians with a capital C. I don't mind people being religious, but when it is in your face and seems to be the number one topic of conversation (appart from which celebrity is doing what etc) I find it extremly difficult. I do not put forward my humanist views all the time... So in conclusion I don't think hen weekends are for me. If I ever need to have one, I think that it will mainly be men at mine. Or infact I will not be having a hen what ever thing...
