Spastic of the week

I know it's only Monday, but I think we will have trouble beating this one for stupidity. I have had a package delivered to work with Kitchen goodies in it. (I get my packages delivered to work, because my postman is extremely unreliable and this way I don't have to try and get to my local post office in business hours.) In the package is a couple of spoons, a backing stone, knife rack and a knife. The knife seem to have caused a security alert. Perhaps not unreasonable on the surface, but when you think every kitchen in the building would have a knife, even if only for birthday cake cutting, maybe a touch over kill.

Anyway, the upshot is that I can only pick up my package on the way OUT of the building this evening. I think this whole episode is proof positive that yes, our security guards did used to work at a prison (this is a rumour that has been circulating for a while) and that that are still in the prison mind set.

P.S. No I am not a knife wielding maniac!

New Skill

I'm now a movie director and producer! (Like everyone else in the world who owns a camera and has access to the internet!)
My other movies are at YouTube, go there and be amazed (but not if you are on dial up, sorry Mum)

Import

Guess what, you can import stuff into your blog from other blogs! I only found that today. So I have imported some posts from an old and unloved blog. It was an idea I had with a friend of mine, who although he promised and promised, never really (ok, not at all) participated. So I have imported the old posts, added a new label (wow, two new labels in a month) and deleted the the old blog (which is why I haven't linked to it here.)

Anyway, some out standing words are:

• Surfistimacated
• Moleocular
• Emerdancy
• Ambleance

I really wanted to add pronunciation to the list, but when I sounded out how I thought you spelt it, thinking it would be completely wrong, Word reckoned I'd spelt it right! Miricals some times happen..... (can you see the joke in that comment?)

nearly forgot

In the excitement of the tram, I nearly forgot to show you my mornings creativity. They are all eaten now, but they were quite yummy strawberry meringues tarts!

Tram woopsie

Personally I'm surprised the whole building didn't topple over, as everyone on my floor came and looked out the window!

It's started

Yesterday I started on my first major bit of home renovation. I went to Bunnings and bought 'stuff' (Stuff in this case was sand paper, polly filla, no more gaps and masking tape.) Then, after a bit of therapeutic sewing, I took all the nails out of the walls, took the curtain and rail down and starting sanding various 'bits' of the wall.

Today, we bought out the big guns and got the sander and heat gun in on the job. I did a fair bit of manual paint stripping around the windows, then more with the heat gun (only one tiny burn so far.) Neil got to the door frame and it's pretty much done.

Now, my armies hurt and the bottle of water I am currently drinking is the BEST water I've had in AGES!

Note: I am starting a new tag today!

My day is ruined

So, Neil and Scott are off to see the band they see every new years day and I am left at home to do stuff. I have this great plan of starting my new cross stitch today, cos experience has shown than this will take around a year and a half, and time is ticking away on my 101 in 1001 and I need to get moving. I got all the bits and pieces together and then thought, "better grab the pattern now" only to discover that I don't have a print out of it. Crap. Officeworks is closed and I totally CAN'T be stuffed driving all the way to work, on a public holiday to print out a new copy. I can totally tell, even now, that I will end up doing this, other wise I will end up going back to bed and reading the Jamie novel until I fall asleep. Oh well.
