Okay, I just had a look at what my credit card had been wracking up, admittedly for the first time in months, but I still didn't expect more than perhaps 100 aus.

Well, I am at the chalet.

And I will be at the chalet for the next 40 days or so.

I am hot and sweaty and tired (really tired, like about to burst into tears tired) and we're having ROAST for dinner now I appreciate how lovely the granny's being but roast in this weather? And Henri won't do anything I ask. Ever. He ( Read more... )

Yay, seems this week might not be as bad as I thought it would be ( Read more... )

Hello my darlings! Just thought I'd clue you in to librarything.com which would only just interest me if it wasn't for the fact it lets you search for what other users that have the same books as you also have in their shelves. Which is damn cool considering I'm all up for book recommendations.

Well that was just disturbing....I've never heard anyone talking about me on the phone before. At least, nothing I wasn't meant to hear ( Read more... )
