OMG I'm online again!

Working hard on finishing the renovation; we're all ded tired, and we may be coming down with a cold. It's no wonder, considering the crazy weather lately - unbearable heat followed by freezing cold, and all the cleaning we're doing. But it looks great, and the extra insulation will mean lower heating bills, and the walls are nice and white now and everything's clean and sparkly. No money for new furniture, unfortunately.

I've got my computer hooked up now, ad it's a new computer, bought just a month before the renovation started because my old one finally gave up the ghost. My monitor is also new - and huuuge! widescreen, and almost 23" - but it was an unexpected expense and I was happy with the old 19" one but it too broke down just days into the renovation :) and I was in the middle of a translation o_O. They only had models 22" and up, and I had to get one right away. It's great having a monitor that big, I must admit. Can't wait to see how movies look on it!

Working hard, my dear friend. I'm so totally out of the loop since we had to disconnect our TV that when we got the computer hooked up again, I was shocked at the riots in Britain. The TV is still not hooked up to cable so we're getting our news via the internet.

"....we're getting our news via the internet."


Same here.......e.g. saw some rather grim and entirely
graphic photography............Daily Mail had FORTY ONE shots of what was
happening.
I did a journal entry about it...............
You might see that.
