I’ve just discovered plugins and totally love all those fabulous computer geeks who spend their time writing code to share with other people. Yeah open source! I just used a great plugin to transfer posts from my Blogger site to my new Wordpress and it so totally worked - easily! While it hasn’t transferred exactly perfectly […]

Received second rejection from M&B yesterday. This one took less than a month to favour a reply - not sure that’s a good thing. Either it’s a quieter time of year or this submission was so bad it didn’t require much pondering. Felt a bit glum yesterday but feeling renewed and positive today. I’m thinking […]

Holy crap, I am so bad at Photoshop! I cannot get my lovely red suitcase to look anything other than super super-imposed, rather like those really bad B films with the guy walking away from the burning wreckage of a car that’s so obviously not behind him, (oh wait, that wasn’t a bad B film, […]

Whilst watching the Australian Grand Prix yesterday I heard one of the commentators chatting about how Mr Kimi Räikkönen had recently entered and won a snowmobile competition, the 24k Enduro Sprint at the Kopparberg King back in his native Finland just a week before the opening grand prix of the 2007 season took place. So […]

I’m beginning to think that perhaps Giancarlo Fisichella doesn’t have the potential to be a truly great race driver. Once again his qualifying position and Grand Prix finish, fifth place just smidgens ahead of Massa, leads me to believe that unfortunately Fisi is merely a mediocre driver. I sincerely hope he proves me wrong this […]

I’ve been sooo good in not mentioning it and trying to concentrate on other things but…it’s the first Formula 1 Grand Prix of the season this weekend. Practice tomorrow, qualifying Saturday and the race on Sunday. Couple the excitement of the impending race with the fact that I’ll be spending the weekend packing for a […]

I know I should be celebrating the Ides of March with a suitably fitting extract from Julius Caesar or setting up hexes to ensure no tomfoolery or bewitchery befalls my way, but instead due to much hinting from the husband I’m going to write about the terrific job that he has done retiling our bathroom. […]

Both Keith and I had been anxiously awaiting the arrival of the new FX production of The Riches, starring Eddie Izzard and Minnie Driver and I’m really pleased to say that we weren’t disappointed. While the show wasn’t as I expected from the many months of trailers, it surpassed my anticipation. It’s a bit darker […]

I love this video. Even if you don’t understand French I think it’s fairly self-explanatory and I have no doubt it’ll make every woman who has a love affair with chocolate smile! Enjoy with scrumptious pleasure…

Progress on the new website happening very slowly as you can see. I’ve spent the last three days totally overwhelmed with the flu and so all my good intentions of uploading my design template and transferring old blog files failed miserably. I wasn’t even up to a few miserable tappings on the ‘puter, my only […]

Conversation between Jay and I upon leaving the supermarket the other day…
Me: “Home James!”
Jay: “I’m not James, I’m Jay! Who’s James?”
Me: “No, it’s an expression. James is the chauffeur.”
Jay: “The chauffeur?”
Me: “Yes, a chauffeur is someone who drives people’s cars. When the people are ready to go home after shopping they get into their cars […]

I’m reading a fascinating book at the moment, one of many actually. As usual I have about three books on the go, apparently I have an inability to read just one book at a time. Anyway the book that is being heavily devoured during my lunch breaks is Joe Seward’s The Grand Prix Saboteurs. Despite […]

So that your time isn’t wasted by coming here I have attached a wav. file of Jay and Keith leaving me a voicemail at work. We have a cool VOIP system at work that posts your voicemail to you as email messages containing the audio file. You can stop listening after Jay talks about the […]

Am feeling just the tiniest twinge of guilt at all my Fort Wayne bashing, so here are some of the things I do like about Fort Fun, oops, sorry, Fort Wayne…
Sara’s Family Restuarant - so far the nicest fish and chips I’ve had since being in the US. Big, fat chips healthily laden with salt […]

As with most of the articles I find, I stumbled across this one whilst trying to find an article on another topic, and as with anything that seems to hint at the now rather boring debate over working mum v. housewife I almost didn’t read it. However I am thoroughly glad I did as it […]
