Real Life Calling...

PHOTOS Try try again...

I shall once again try to post some piccies - not least because I have had a welcome comment from Gecko http://samaryn.com/ to try to do so. So for me Gecko, the photos and anyone who may be interested here it goes...

.. Error - website not responding please try again or reload?

Oh dear - and so it goes on. The backlog of photos continues to mount. I had an especially nice (but gooey) shot of my valentine card made for me by Zahra at nursery and the gorgeous flowers I found waiting for me at home from dearest partner. And yes this year strict instructions from me to him not to send flowers to me at work!! No I am not mad - just practical. Can't push pram, having bribed and coaxed very strong minded two year old into said pram - yes, then can't push pram and proudly parade exquisite flowers from one end of town to the other. Someone over at Cowboy Caleb's journal http://cowboycaleb.liquidblade.com/ was amused when I pronounced that we would be staying in this year, having Nando's, watching DVDs, exchanging small gifts and enjoying (more so ) each other's company. Apparently DVDs (pirate) and Nando's indoors on valentines is very Malaysian?

As a result of above errors, promised photo's of Singapore and Bali and anything else I think would be of interest are still no nearer to being published here. However, I have been lost and spending far too much time on other people's blogs again!!. I finally managed to restore a working version of My Profile (look to the right) having deleted it without noticing when playing around with html code in my template (told you I was a beginner). Having restored it I clicked for the first time to see blogs (other) listed under the UK and found Vanillasky http://www.vanillasky.co.uk/blog/ Not only is Vanilla an avid BBC radio 4 listener, but has the greatest photo's, photo links and more to look around. I love my music, but love it more on mp3 at my choosing. I spend most of my time listening to the radio, bbc radio 5 being a favourite but a couple in Hong Kong and Beijing are good listening when I can pick them too. The point being (I digress) that I have found another and a fellow UK blog spot that I am really enjoying. Particularly liked Vanillasky's DILO (Day in the life of...) where anyone is invited to take and post pictures at Flickr (see right again) on a particular day. Vanilla's next DILO is going to be on the 20th March 2006 - previous projects include the 21st December 2005 or Winter Solstice to some. Have a look http://www.flickr.com/groups/adayinthelife/discuss/139911/ but be careful - I did and just got lost in and amongst it all - really absorbing and far too time consuming. Also found fabulous Flickr toys here http://flagrantdisregard.com/flickr/index.php inlcuding mosaic picture maker, magazine cover maker (using own photo's), poster maker, captioner, and more. Probably old hat to you professionals out there but quite fun and new and fresh to me. Also found some references to the *word cloud* I've seen at other blog spots - still haven't worked out how to action that here on my bloggie but I'll get there - promise. I'm on a roll but I'll add a few more bits with separate posts to break this up a bit.

Ciao. A.
