I'm sort of back
We've had so many problems with our 'sooper dooper 'computer. Wrong colours, wrong size print, no printer, no Norton, no scanner, no AOL, Our number for XP is 'invalid' and it all crashes from time to time! I'm working a lot this week so the times we've been 'up' I've been 'out' so to speak. I hope it gets better soon. Thanks for all the nice comments, it was good to know that I've been missed!

Rob
Is running away with the computer for a few days, hopefully by Thursday we will have millions of giga watts or whatever (Or wattever, ha ha!)

I couldn't resist this


Which Dr. Seuss character are you?

Thank you Michelle, I love Dr Seuss too

I have just pinged
for the first time since Saturday afternoon and I have been told ,again, not to ping every five minutes. Strange, of course Blogger might have automatically pinged for me, but that doesn't happen every time

"Weekend sans accident"
Here in Charente Maritime we have had a road safety campaign, the idea was not to have any accidents this week end. We were asked to drive with sidelights to show solidarity. The local 'observer' in our newspaper noticed a car with side lights (I'm a goody) racing past two cars without side lights who were obeying the speed limit on quite a dangerous road.

Up to 7 o'clock yesterday evening there had been around half a dozen accidents but no one was killed.

Now
I've had Weblogs telling me I shouldn't ping every five minutes and I should relax and enjoy life.
I wonder what my blood pressure is at the moment?

I'm not happy
with my husband, Rob. We have a computer that is around four years old and is being stretched to the limit. To make a bit of space Rob decided to get rid of everything as much as he could from our desks. The result is he got rid of all of the cookies and now I've got to write out my identity again everywhere I go. Refinding passwords is annoying because I can never remember where I 'hid' them
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Blogshares update
After hovering around $3 million for ages, my shares last week suddenly shot up to $4! I reversed the last stocksplit and my Anji Patchwork shares are picking up. Rob asks why can't real life be like this?

Exam time - already?
I couldn't have allowed myself any time on the computer yesterday as I was exam supervising again. This was a big four and a half hours exam, politics of commerce or something like that. I thought I would fall asleep but they kept me pretty busy handing out paper. It was in a mini amphitheater so hopefully running up and down all of those steps count as exercise. The 'Ecole superior de commerce is expanding so I couldn't find my way around like before. It will be really nice, if it ever gets finished.

No AOL?
Rob announced yesterday morning that AOL wasn't working. "What do you mean, not working?!"
After a couple of minutes he finally confessed that at long last, AOL had opened our line up for broadband, only problem was he had to go to work first. Any way we're much faster now. The hardest part of the installation was untangling the spaghetti of wires between the desk and the back of the computer.
