I can’t believe that 14 years ago today I was spending my first day as a high school graduate.  Has it really been that long? That means that 14 years ago yesterday was my high school graduation ceremony.  It was about a thousand degrees out and I had a t-shirt and shorts on under that scratchy gown and thought I …

The first crazy man in my life is my husband.   Last night he freaked me out again with his psycho sleep antics.  I was laying in bed reading my new Mike Gayle book (which was awesome!! I’ll write about that later) and Xander was sleeping next to me.   Suddenly he BOLTED upright in bed, threw the blankets off and sat cross …

Trying to take a photo of rats is darn near impossible.  They get so excited when you go over to see them that they run around like little nutcases making it pretty difficult to get a shot off.   Yesterday they were extra curious about the camera and kept climbing onto it as I was trying to get a pic, but …

This weekend I have my husband home for an extra long weekend.   He’s bored at work waiting for some hardware to arrive so he decided to take his last few holiday days from last year and make this a long weekend.   He took a half day yesterday and is off today and Monday.   One of the things he was looking …

Yes, it’s another tale of the Devil Cats! I recently set up my 72 liter tank for breeding feeder guppies for my turtles.  I placed it next to a shelving unit in my livingroom, which is next to my 180 liter tank that holds my 1-inch Eastern Painted turtle, Stelo. Stelo has a pretty kickass basking area on his tank, I’ve …

If you are a long time reader you’ll know about my crazy neighbour.  If not let me sum it up: Moved in this flat 5 years ago, upstairs neighbour was 16 year old girl W. and her 24-ish year old boyfriend, J.   Wasn’t long before we put 2 and 2 together.  He does a lot of drugs, he beats her …

It’s thundering outside with some lightning but I never bother to look at the lightning here because you can’t actually see it. I wish we got really cool fork lightning here that I could take photos of, but we just get the white sky kind. The closer it gets to summer the more and more irritated I’m getting watching people …

The tiles started going up last week but it’s slow going as the guy we are paying to do it is only available on weeknights or weekends so it’s mostly Saturdays that the work is getting done.  The grouting hasn’t been done yet but it’s still nice to have the tiles on the wall. Today he is working on making …

Once again I’ve decided it was time for a change with my hair. I’ve had it black now for what seems like forever and I’m bored with it. I saw this color in the shop and decided to give it a go. It’s for darker hair and it lightens but I don’t think it will cover the bits that are …

This week I’m playing Lord of the Rings Online.  Xander has grown bored with World of Warcraft and bought LOTRO to try something different.   It came with a 7 day free trial for a friend so I installed it on my laptop to arse around with it.   It’s been a long time since I did any gaming of any kind …

Actually I’m not sure I do, in fact, I’m pretty sure I don’t.   I’m watching Big Brother UK at the moment and there’s 11 women in the house and no men.  Right now they are all sitting around a table talking about how badly they want to be a WAG. Please, British people out there tell me … tell me …
