      Disclaimer: I'm only taking calls from friends and family. No I do not want to date, hear from old buddies that knew me when I was thin, or make new friends now I'm old, cranky and fat. No I'm not looking for Viagra, special inhalers or a relationship with a lonely guy or gal from Siberia, outer Mongolia, or any war torn nation. If I've won a lottery I've never entered in Britain, don't contact me. If a long lost relative chose to amazingly move to Nigeria and then die leaving me millions, likewise don't waste my time. In short if you come under the heading of anyone other than family and my bestest buddies, you are outside my elite clique and therefore on the outer.

      Thank you for your interest.

    Furniture changes…

    While I’m posting here should probably upload some photos of our newest changes in the house. Essentially we just bought a new entertainment unit for the TV to sit on in the living room, but that led to the existing unit being repurposed and changing the dining room as well. You know how these things happen, one thing leads to another and there is chaos. Which there was. But it’s all tidy and neat now.

    Dining room december 13 2009

    Finished product. The dining room cabinet was made by two "towers" in the old entertainment unit. The shelves were discarded, the middle part of the unit moved upstairs and the two "towers" came together nicely to form a display cabinet. Who says we're not thrifty?

    Larry december 13 2009

    Moved around lamps and things in the living room and that now looks comfortable.

    shelves were in dining room

    The shelves shown in the corner, used to be in the dining room and now house all our dvds. They are categorised and in a database for easy retrieval.

    Before then, came chaos….

    Chaos in dining room

    Stuff was unloaded from everywhere and dumped on the table. Ugh where to start?

    chaos in loungeroom

    things in the living room weren't much better with TV on the floor, cables galore and junk everywhere from emptying the old unit.

    This is the new entertainment unit getting set up with equipment.

    Long time between posts

    Long time between posts. Meh, it’s all Twitter and Facebook for me these days. However this is a bit of a better lasting memory for photos, so here are my beautiful long-stemmed roses Larry sent me for our anniversary this year. Our 31st Anniversary! Can you believe it? Shock/surprising and all that. Especially as I’m only 29. Anyway, without any further ado here are my gorgeous flowers.

    Christmas tree is up

    This year I managed to get the Christmas tree up with military precision. 15 minutes and the job is done. Why is December the busiest month? I never get to do a leisurely tree dressing! Sent from Gayle’s Blackberry….
