I don't know about the warranty, but I am going to check.

That is interesting about your friend traveling around the world. Is it someone who is retired? Nice to get those correspondences written and sent, isn't it?

Hey--have a great weekend, Kelda. I'm so happy it's FRIDAY!!!! Just 7 more work days until Thanksgiving vacation!!! 

No he's in his early 30's.. sold his flat in london and decided to go travelling!

Enjoy the weekend Shasta!

I'm happy - I just found out that Glasgow won their bid to hold the Commonwelth Games in 2014! Brilliant news for Scotland and particularly Glasgow.

Glasgow has been chosen to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.

There were celebrations in the Scottish city as the decision of the 71 voting nations was announced in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Glasgow had been competing against Nigerian capital Abuja for the right to host the games.

It has been estimated that it will cost the city £288m to stage the sporting event, with most of the funding coming from the Scottish Government.

Thousands of people gathered to watch the result at events in the city.

My 4 year old niece was watching me online here a few minutes ago and she said:

OH!!! Pretty Autumn trees!! They're lovely! Where did you get that picture Aunty Kelda?

she then asked the name of the two men in brokeback_dev's profile pic -  told her they were Ennis &b Jack and she asked which was which. Didn't ask why they were almost kissing though! 

Then she asked about Elle's picture in her sig line and she asked me everyones name - so I told her the ones I knew. 

Cute.

Bumping an oldie but goodie...

It's my nieces's school prom tonight (she graduates from this primary school at the end of June and after the summer goes on to secondary school where the real hard work begins!)

She is 11 years old and I have to go home for work early and do her hair all fancy for her - The class is going to it in a bus limo thing that is a mini nightclub inside it! 

Geesh! Kids these days!!

Oh she will love her prom night. Emma was giddy with excitement. I posted her pics on my blog. It made me simultaneously feel incredibly proud/weepy and also old !!
I am having a massive very long delayed spring clean of the house, in fact am just taking a break from it now. I used to love cleaning but I despise it now. I have decided if I do a really thorough clean it may help organise my head as well.
Post pictures of your niece if you are allowed to.

Thanks for bumping, Kelda.  This is like a blog for those who don't have blogs! 

Hope your niece enjoys her big night out.  Proms are always a big deal when you're that age.

Its not such a prom as you guys on the US know it but they did get a limo as I say, and a nice dinner and goodie bags but they also did bowling and lazer quest rather than a dance!!! They ahd a school oscars the night before too and she was more dressed up at that..

I'm going to post an image - can you see it?
