This is my first week back after a great holiday Skiing in Canada! 10 days in the Rockies! It was warmer than I expected but snow on the slopes was good. No snow in town not like there was the last time we were there 10 years ago. We split our time between the two mountains Sunshine and Lake Louise, good skiing at both. We got the tail end of ( Read more... )

What exactly is the point of the current inquiry? I believe that this is the 5th one and is been going for 34 days so far, costing some millions of pounds. All of this might be worth it if we were going to find out something we didn't already know or if someone might be prosecuted. Wishful thinking, never going to happen, did they think Tony Blair ( Read more... )

Amy has been in Nepal for 2 weeks now. We saw her on Webcam via Yahoo this morning and a had a quick chat. Sounds like see is doing well. There was a feature on the her trip on See Hear BBC2 last week, the British bit of it. She featured for a short time. It is viewable on I-player. I'm hoping they do a follow up in Nepal ( Read more... )

More snow this morning! 50 min drive to work usually 10 mins aaaaah! Hope the forecasters are right and there will be a temp increase this weekend and a thaw. Please

It also has Samsung widgets which can display stuff like weather, on a tool bar or pop window while still watching TV. There is also one to connect to ( Read more... )

Snow arrived here on Wednesday like most of the rest of the country, not sure we completely lost the last lot. Didn't go to work as Milton Keynes tends to be quite bad on the first day. Went the next two days. Wish I had the option like Dorothy to have remote log on so could work from home. Managed to get to Sainsburys today, which isn't far and ( Read more... )

You may not believe it but we have the must have toy of 2009, a GO GO Hamster! MR Squiggles And it does go go, of round the room in a random kinda way. It made it out of the new lounge into the hall! It makes noises of other animals, a chicken, a cow and other things like a car horn. Its a very bizarre ( Read more... )

Get a new TV has been more trouble than I expected. Having finally chosen a TV as I mentioned in a previous post, it arrived just before Christmas. It looked wonderful, stylish, great picture, but what's that noise? There is an irritating buzzing noise, which can be heard during quite bits in programs, fiddled with TV settings no good, moved cables ( Read more... )
