Christmas 2000 at home in Carnyorth, Cornwall, UK. Wouldn’t you agree the ladder is a nice touch?! Put out for Father Christmas? A helping hand down the chimney? Or is it strategically placed as modern art? Seriously.
Here we are a couple of days before Christmas and the birds are singing away, chirping their little hearts out they are. I refer to the bird sound emanating from my computer and not the real thing which are noticeable by their absence. On the other hand the fridge has been totally silent with not even a whisper of a seasonal groan along the lines of “Frosty the Snowman” which would have been somewhat apt.
It is cold but not cold enough for snow but perhaps it’s waiting to unleash itself during the midst of winter. It has been known.
When your knickers are straining at the elastic following your feast of turkey or soya nut roast and your nose is as red as Rudolph’s thanks to the copious amount of alcohol you have guzzled down your gullet, you should be in the right frame of silly mind to relax and snuggle down for a laugh and a titter with “Cat Tales”. It’s free and if that doesn’t grab you the two reviews on Nook might!
Happy Christmas to one and all. Until next week.

Shingalana, France, 2004. Either he can’t get on with the French language and he’s given up or else he’s wishing he’d purchased those sunglasses after all. That French sun can be vicious.
… continuing on from last week’s technology chat let’s include electronic goods in that, shall we? Why not indeed.
Okay! I have four computers currently using two and this is not anything grand it’s only because I buy a laptop, don’t get on with it, buy another, ditto and eventually end up by purchasing a hard disk and monitor purely so I can use my older-style keyboard which is what I should have done in the first place.
And what is this new type of keyboard anyway? No bounce to the keys whatsoever. When you hit a key it’s supposed to give a bit of a boing but not so with these new keypads you get more of a bleurgh than a boing. Plus the keys are off-centre which means when I want to write for example, “typing blogs” it comes out as “roingd vilog”. Who’s clever idea was that? Someone who either dictates a lot or uses pen and paper as no self-respecting typist would have re-arranged a perfectly good keyboard by shunting everything upon it to one side like last week’s fish.
And my point? The laptop makes noises like a chirping bird. Confuses the cat. Confuses me. It’s chirping away right now. I can hear it on the other side of the room. And that’s another thing. My fridge groans. It’s 0200 in the morning. It’s dark, I’m sleepy, just awoken and feeling the need to feed my ulcer, it’s between a yoghurt rice cake and a fruity bar when all of a sudden the fridge lets out this ghostlike groan which makes my blood gelid. I read somewhere of fridges producing noises or else they are picking up radio waves as it’s been said they sound just like Elvis Presley singing. Seriously. Rather Elvis then this withering groan. Most disconcerting.
Be well and keep warm. I will do my best to achieve this. Bye for now.

And as usual my picture has nothing to do with the week’s blog entry whatsoever although it could be depicted as on a rampage. Yes, it is I underneath the protection mask in France getting handy with a hammer. Ooh, look at all those orbs… or are they dust particles hmm… and did I ever pay for working like a brickie. My body capitulated and I was good for nothing. Serves me right.
A charging bull? That’s me as I am a Taurus and as for the charging bit, well, not so much I don’t have the energy to get mad and charge. At least not at the same time. So, why is there smoke escaping from my nostrils and not because I am inhaling on a cigarette? It’s because of technology. Again. Technology and I do not get along. I do take some of the blame when things blow up or break down but not all of it. What was I attempting to do I hear you ask? All right, let me pretend. I was attempting something really hard. I was trying to open a document. Yes! That’s it. Did it open? No. Instead I was presented with a whirry circle that looks like a plumber’s washer going round and round with a message saying “Gerrof you daft bag you have no business being here in the first place” or something along the lines of “Word not responding”.
Tell me about it.
Puts me in mind of another time of DVD players suddenly freezing and totally unresponsive to a person not a million miles away from here, repeatedly bashing the remote upon their knee and swearing at the DVD player whilst lobbying it with threats of going back to watching videos.
None of which works.
To end on a somewhat familiar note. What! So shoot me.
If this struck a chord first of all I’d love to hear from you and secondly, why not download “Musings Amusing” where real-life anecdotes and stories including my escapades with DVD players, hair dye disasters and pawnographic cats are encapsulated in this FREE eBook. Grab a coffee, definitely decaf if you have an ulcer, snuggle down and click on the link below to find a download to suit you.
