I had a slice of cake for breakfast. It was delicious but rich. I may regret it.

Having house guests can be tiring - I feel like a mother but I don't have any children!

Having house guests can be tiring - I feel like a mother but I don't have any children! I sympathise, Lumi. In the summer we feel like a hotel. Some guests are more tiring than others (Polish Maria, for one).

Some guests are more tiring than others (Polish Maria, for one). I hear ya, Baz. It happens so often when you live abroad and people want to have great holidays without paying for a hotel. I'm thinking we should start distributing invoices for maid service and excess food and alcohol consumption. They might be on holiday and enjoying themselves but it's alot of work for me constantly cleaning up after their sloby holiday ways. Would you leave disgusting "gunk" in the drain at your own house? Would you put a soaking wet towel on the bed at your house? etc etc!

What do you do with your get up and go when your get up and go has got up and went? call a search party with friends? have a cuppa and decide on the best action from then on?

I'm knackered. I don't think it is packing to go away. I think it is filling in 3 forms for the tax people. 2 of the forms were of 6 pages each.

Trapped under a thick blanket of fog, gray and gloomy, damp and dreary. It's frustrating to think that the sun is shining brightly just out of sight.

I have so much to do yet haven't got the energy to do it. All I want to do is sit on the sofa and watch TV until it's time to go to bed. Need to somehow muster a bit more energy and get my work done though!

House filled with the most putrid, noxious smell. Even the Scruffman, who usually adores such things, has gone to the bedroom and crawled under the covers. I opened the door to get some fresh air and was hit full force with it. It's worse than skunk. Could it be a dead skunk, and it's dead much too close to home. How to get through the night, oh my. I may lose my cookies over this. Barely holdin on.

What if it's sent to you by mail from a regular person, itsa(i.e. not a company)?
I already experience this annoyance as anything that might be considered cosmetics are not allowed to be accepted here by post without a doctor's note! And anything valued at more than $100 (including postage/insurance!!) is charged a really high rate of tax. To get my uni textbooks posted to me here (which aren't even available for sale here) cost me an absolute fortune!
