The divorced husband of Mrs Faz's sister has invited himself (and second wife) to lunch. We are too kind - we should just have said No.

Tiger Airlines have a $15 sale on which finishes at midnight tonight. Tried at 4pm to book return flight Melbourne to Sydney kept getting an "Error page" rang the airline they asked for name phone number and what was the problem. They rang me back 2 and a half hours later. After explaining the problem, stupid git asks what browser am I using, then tells me it's because google chrome isn't compatible with and I have to use IE as their website isn't compatible with anything else.
Liar liar pants on fire. Get the same error message with IE,

When Mrs Faz's sister met her ex-husband after the divorce and his remarriage she went up to the new wife and gave her a hugs hug and thanked her for taking her husband away.

hm, thursday, nice weather, and mr. r. is home - one of the few opportunities lately to go climbing. but i have a slight stomach ache and i cut one of my index fingers when cooking yesterday. oh, and a. didn't nap at daycare today, so maybe should be brought to bed earlier. question is now, do i ignore all that and go climbing anyway? or be responsible (and give in to my own tiredness).

Mrs Faz's ex-brother-in-law is incredibly boring. He rambles on and on about people we don't know. His second wife, on the other hand, seems sparky, referring to her "naughty years" in Brighton.

We lost internet connection this afternoon. Mrs Faz decided to walk down the road to the computer shop to see if it was a general problem - and found that the door to our little hallway had locked itself. There is no key. A mystery. The front windows giving on the street have been painted by the previous owners so they no longer open. The back garden has a stone wall all round it. So we are trapped. However we could pass a front door key to our neighbour who went to get the locksmith (just next door to the computer shop) and he came and opened the interior door. It wasn't the lock but the interior spring of the handle which had broken. And after three hours internet has come back on line.
So all is well.

Stood outside a post office today, the guy was only letting one customer in at at time. After about 15 mins of other customer doing things with many parcels the 'officer' (? I guess) let parcel guy out and told me his post office had not had mail taken away for over a week.
Surely he could have posted something to that effect on the door. There was a strike notice to say office closed, with no date and he was actually open.
Bizarre

Wow Baz... that is worth a whole deep inspection for ghosts and hidden passways!
Complaint: I am fed up with my laryngitis and allergy. Someone shoot me.

My new-for-me [used] Apple computer has suddenly stopped being able to locate wifi networks. Which makes it an expensive document writer, and movie viewer. And no Apple service anywhere around here.

my old one used to refuse to find the network from time to time but turning wifi off and then on again used to work or sometimes rebooting did the trick. Otherwise, are you able to "plug it in" so it's not wifi but actual cable internet, katje?

aa, I've tried the turning off/on and rebooting with no luck. I don't have a cable to plug it in. I don't know if or where I can get one around here, but tomorrow I'm going to San Pedro to see what I can find. It's a big tourist town and there are two computer sales/repair stores there. Keeping my fingers crossed....

a drop of eucalyptus e.o. on a tissue in the pillowcase or in a pocket can make things slightly more comfortable for sufferers, riki. so do vapour inhalations. hoping you feel better now.

I adore my accountant, YET she is making ME look for a receipt SHE lost and I am wasting my reading time doing so. Some days the system sucks.

I did the internet research. I chose the supplier. I registered with address and password. I put in the product. I selected the delivery day and time. Then I went to pay and saw a note: We have changed the specification or price of this product. Yeah, right - they had put the price up by 20%.

the touch pad on my work computer is placed so that i constantly touch it by mistake while typing - can't turn it off because i need it occasionally, but it is so annoying to be typing and then suddenly you are somewhere completely different.

oh, and also, looks more and more like mr. r. will have to take a call center job again, so that'll mean shift work and little money and him in a bad mood all the time. the non-call center jobs he applies for don't even answer, and the arbeitsamt is getting impatient and keeps sending offers and he isn't allowed to refuse ...

The day started out really well. I was happy and excited about an opportunity that was offered to me. But things went downhill this afternoon when I was informed that the muni is about to cut off my water. WTF?!?! So I have to go to the muni tomorrow and get this problem sorted out.

Nose and sinuses still blocked. Have been having wet cardboard for a week now. Oh to be able to smell and taste.

another one suffering from a cold here. I'm treating it with vapour inhalations with drops of e.o., and drops of e.o. on my pillow and some medicated herbal sweets and also some tincture I got hold of at the local herbal drugstore. But it needs to be gone by tomorrow morning because inflamed sinuses and planes don't mix.
