Have you seen the floods over here in UK on TV, it is horrendous, and getting worse. Our daughter went to Oxford to meet up with some girlfriends, for a shopping weekend and got caught up in the floods. (they had planned a good shopping spree, lovely meal and a few drinks, and a good nights sleep away from their little children). The hotel they stayed in was like a mad house, ambulances arriving with OAP'S from an old peoples home, in their wheelchairs, covered with blankets and being handed cups of tea, all totally confused to what was happening, this went on from early afternoon until 2.30 in the morning at 6.00 the old dears were banging their radiators asking to be let out of their rooms. There was a wedding reception at the hotel, and they all had to stay, as well as all the staff. The girls gave up some of their rooms and doubled up with each other, but my daughter said she thought she would wake up with a OAP in her bed. Told her not to be so rude as "your mother is one".

We were lucky on the way back from the Embassy coming down the M4 (clutching our Visa's) we had just passed Reading as the flash flooding began, and the landslide. It was a terrible journey home, but arrived safe and sound, and our new Visa's dry. We all count ourselves lucky.

Still very wet here in the south, thankfully mainly raining during the night although a couple of days ago it just rained all day non stop, not very heavy just non stop, this year seems a little worse than some others I remember and certainly worse than last year. Currently nice and dry, no rain at all today. Have been watching the UK floods on TV, not very nice at all.

Reminds me of a story . . . was living in Varanasi for six months in '99-'00 . . . had painted a watercolor for a friend of mine . . . wanted it to arrive un-spindled/-bent/-mutilated . . . wrote on the front of the package, "Fragile! Do Not Bend!" . . . took it in the post office near Asi Ghat . . . post master looked at the package and handed it back to me . . . I asked why . . . he said, "Here we bend."
You wouldn't get that sort of honesty in UK

You need to select "All Regions" on your DVD Player Options Menu if you can, otherwise it will only play Genuine DVD's of the region it is set to, most DVD Manufacturers now supply a code to allow the user to set it to All Regions. If you don't have the code, look on the net for the make and model to see if the code is available. Hope this helps

Just right click on the avatar of your choice , then click 'save picture as' , then just save it in 'my pictures'. When you go in to change your avatar you can upload it from your 'my pictures' where you saved it.

Sounds complicated but it isnt. Remember right click on your mouse and take it from there.

Wont be online too much this week as my accounts have to be with the accountant by the weekend and they are a complete mess at the moment.:curse:

AHHHHHH, I hate paperwork.:curse:

Love to all,
Remy.

I always put my bookwork off to the last minute. Company Return is already late so will be penalised anyhow.:curse: Ah well could be worse, life goes on, and all that.

Hope the avatar thing works for you tomorrow,
Goodnight and Godbless,

Remy.
