This is some amazing news. Are the Chinese the trend setters from now on? Do they set the pace were others merely follow? You can imagine a story of this magnitude has generated many comments and one of them I will paste to inform you how I tend ...

A new years meal

2010-01-03T14:32:45Z

My Mother-in-law cooked a very nice meal and thus makes this a very nice start in 2010. I didn't have any dessert because I am planning on consuming it later. I was told to stop by the bakery around the corner and I will just do that:))) life is ...

Where’s the I?

2009-12-01T11:35:23Z

Time elapsed for compose window to appear: about ten seconds. Have they fixed it? (Last time I asked that, I jinxed it, and the next load took something like 16 hours.) I was at Newtown Mall last week (not a regular shopping location for me) an...

Spring photos: ASB’s unconvincing campaign and my ﬂowers

2009-11-25T09:51:26Z

I lost count of how many hours it took for the compose screen to come up, but since it is night-time now, and I am pretty sure there was sunlight when I first began clicking ‘Create’, we can say a good quarter of the day has passed, at least. T...

Gripe about Vox, Ben Kingsley, and Wellington scenery

2009-11-20T23:43:23Z

“Only” took 20 minutes for this screen to come up this time. In a day and age when we should wait no more than 20 seconds. Still, I’m sure Vox believes I should be happy because 20 minutes is less than 16 hours. ‘Yay!’ they must think, ‘our load t...

This way was blocked!

2009-11-17T18:54:21Z

Fluffy and I had to take an alternate route because of favorite was is under construction for the couple of weeks. I think the city is spending my tax money (Euro) on new fiber optics cable. We managed to find another way home:))

Bad parking job today

2009-11-17T11:45:41Z

Here’s today’s bad parking job. Unless this Toyota’s driver wants to tell me that originally, there was a bike in front and a Smart ForTwo behind. Otherwise, being in the middle of a two-car space and not allowing something as small as my Renault ...
