Move over Crazy Frog…. here come the Baarmy Sheep! A flock of real singing sheep from the Lake District are taking on the Crazy Frog this Christmas in the battle to become the novelty song of 2005. The Crazy Frog’s Christmas single – Jingle Bells – gets its first airplay on Thursday December 1 and [...]
Well am glad to report that we are in the final stages of the house renovation. They finished with the painting yesterday and are currently installing our new awning – slightly hampered by a short shower this morning which thankfully has stopped. Good thing the weather has been good the last two weeks. Only a [...]
At present my house is in a chaotic state. The other major plumbing surgery is ongoing, not a bypass this time but a whole heart (tank) transplant! Our old rusty metal tank will be replaced by a larger new plastic one. The plumber decided to go through the roof instead of the ceiling for which [...]
Ok so sue me for being fickle. Decided to try out yet another new template from Blogger Templates. I think it looks more cheerful than the last one.

As mentioned sometime back I have been toying with the idea of switching to WordPress but decided to stick to Blogger. Got tempted again when I read David’s post about WordPress.com and the ability to import Blogger posts and comments. Well I signed up for an account and they sent me an invite after about [...]
