Am I going to break Adams post record for yesterday? Think I might be having one of those days😀
Waiting for some guys to come and take a couple of massive fans and a dehumidifier away that have been running none stop for a couple of days.
Monday put a load of washing on and went out to garden. Heard water running and thought daughter was in shower, then my thoughts changed to having a very long shower as usual, and then I noticed she was still on the computer. Of course she thought I was in the shower. The hot water hose had come off it's tap fitting:o
Lucky I'm with AAMI🙂

EROTIC dancers in Las Vegas
can continue to accept tips in
their G-strings without fear of
action by undercover police.

Alliance says a drop in tourists in
recent months has already hit
incomes and the rule would have
worsened the problem.
They do rely on tips in the hositality industry over in the US of A, not joking.

FORGET P&O’s Love Boat.
Singapore’s getting the real thing.
A local doctor plans to fight the
nation’s falling birth rate by
encouraging couples to conceive
during overnight cruise getaways
to resorts in nearby Indonesia.
They’ll first get special ‘lessons
in love’, as the Straits Times
expressed it at the weekend, and
then sail off for a night of passion
at a ‘fertility resort’ on the islands
of Batam or Bintam.
Total package for two will cost
about $1000.
The Straits Times says the
cruise boat will take up to 14
couples and sailings are planned
from next month.
Hmmm, maybe I'll apply for a teaching position!!! 😀
