Note: I wrote this ages ago and apparently I clicked on the draft button instead of post, not saying I'm a bit distracted or anything LOL  either way this should make you laugh, it does it to me every time!   Yeah we all need something completely different now and again.   Trouble is my completely […]

Who wants to live forever indeed!  Not my hitch hiking lizard it seems and certainly not the snow blower.  Well, I can’t blame the snow blower after all we purchased it in November 2000 so if it was a car it would have gone round the clock twice by now! (yeah….that feeling I know!) Let’s […]

Our Hitch Hiker from California Yes we really did bring a Californian hitch hiker with us, we didn’t really want him and I am sure he didn’t want to come! Before I start this story I need to give you a bit of background data about me and animals.  I am not an animal lover […]

Tim found this video while playing with Stumbleupon (I think he is addicted to the site ;o) It is pretty cool really, having cycled in Utrecht it brings back some really good memories.  They are so geared up there for cycling and I always thought it was amazing that they have their own traffic lights!

How weird is this then?  You've all seen Transformers, if not the movie you must have seen the toys at some point but this owl really is a transformer.  An octopus can change color but it can't really change its shape, this bird is amazing in how it changes itself based on the threat. The […]

You know after everything I have gone through over the last 2+ years with my back you would think they could have sorted it out by now. I should be so lucky. Where's Dr Crusher when you need her or even the holo Doc? at least he knows how to put Borg nanobots to good […]

Well I'd like to say Utah blows or Utah sucks but I can't as I actually like Utah.  It does however snow! Last week I had the dubious honor of flying to Utah in order to get all the sprinklers running at the rental houses.  I had booked the flight a week before based on […]
