Haven't been by for a while, just thought I'd drop in and say hello. I've been pretty busy.

Hello Poly!
DED and I hit the town to find birthday presents for my sister. Went to the design store where they had so much wicked stuff it was hard to choose,but eventually I let the special spaghetti fork (that you can spin like an old-fashioned hand drill) be and bought a wallet with ye olde Dutch 10 guilder note print.

Yesterday was my sister's birthday, today we had groceries... Been feeling sore and tired today. I need a hug.

And a foot warmer.

It's always been my intention to introduce as many people as I can to my favourite groups: Primus, DAAU, and of course to FZ. Seeing that I accidentally turned somebody into a Kate Bush fn, that's a bit depressing.

While I'm busy translating that I'm cursing my French class from high school. I didn't learn a single proverb or idiom from that. With the subject matter being as sensitive as it is, it's full of proverbs and idioms.

Added: I'm getting more into it and finding it more and more hilarious. But it does trouble me that after 6 years of French class, basically what I've learnt is 100 Different Ways To Ask For Directions To The Nearest Beach.

I'm at 35% of translating the little book. It is a tad bizarre already, and I haven't even reached the part about "travelling to the blue land" yet. Not sure whether I'm looking forward to that or fearing it intensely.

It's oh so quiet... shhh... shhh... it's oh so still... shh...shh..

Here you go, I'll post so it's not so lonely. I got to see my granddaughter yesterday!

Thanks Cal, Lovely!:bald:

Not much happening here... Still battling and losing the eternal fight against freezing feet, nothing seems to help them.

Got wet picking up walnuts. Amazingly, my eldest doggedly helped me. Though his criterion for a good walnut took at least five minutes deliberation.

Thermal socks?

Don't help. Nothing helps, no hot bath, no heating pits...

Hmm, I had an aunt that had the same problem. The doctor told her it was a circulation problem, but I can't remember what they did for it.

There's a distinct problem about me and doctors. Besides the one I visited for the insurance when I broke my ankle, the last time I went to a GP was when I was 19 and had a bad throat infection, before that was when I was 12 and had bronchitis.

Phoned my best friend for his birthday. He's going to go to France to live in a Buddhist commune for a few weeks.

Where is it located?

here's something random I found.
Bedrock, home of the Flintstone's is a place, in Arizona: http://www.messynessychic.com/2012/11/29/the-flintstones-are...

The whole messynessy blog is really cool with lots of unexpected things

Creepy, those Flintstone characters don't translate to 3D. It's really puzzling it's still open, how could they ever make it profitable?

Aqua: don't know where he's going. I'll ask him when I can catch hold of him again next week.

This weekend I'll be in Arnhem, guide dogging.
