‘TRUMPETS!’

January 29, 2009

I have no idea why I like this advert – by all rights it should be really annoying and irritating – however, such is the way of things.  An unfortunate side effect through, does seem to be the urge to shout out ‘Trumpets!’ at random moments…

Actually – there are a quite [...]

Last Day of Celebrity Big Brother…

January 23, 2009

Booo! Tis the last day of Celeb BB tonight. 
Can’t wait for this evening’s helping of jolly ‘B’ list Buffoonery. Not that I expect that much of a buffoon-type nature – it’s just that ‘Buffoon’ is such a great word. Should be used more often!
‘Plunge’, that’s another great word. As is ’sponge’ – which, I have [...]

Celebrity Big Brother

January 21, 2009

Most unhappy that it’s all nearly over  
Yes – even respectable Geek Girls can enjoy a little bit of Reality TV and I’m not ashamed to admit it! I shall hold my head up high as I proudly say “I LOVE Big Brother!” 
Thing is – I keep wondering when the Zombies will appear…

Ponderings of Soup

January 20, 2009

I love soup. Practically every kind (particularly my own home made vegetable soup with is rather yummy even though I say so myself!) 
Anyway – I noticed a recipe for Carrot and Orange Soup. A really odd combination. I’ve only ever had it once, years ago. It tasted surprisingly nice if I recall – probably because [...]

Happy Rezz Day To Me!

January 18, 2009

Yay!!! Today is my SL Rezz day! 
One year ago today I took my first tentative steps into the wonderful world that is Second Life! 
I’ve had so much fun there – started so many projects, including a Nightclub, an Art Gallery not to mention numerous other random projects created and discarded on the merest of  whims! 
So [...]

An Experiment

January 15, 2009

This is a completely serious scientific experiment to determine exactly how many people enter the word ‘Wibble’ into a search engine and end up here….
I am hoping that this intensive research will aid me in my quest to win a Nobel Prize for Extreme Silliness.

A Completely Irrelevant Post

You know I really, really loved this year’s Doctor Who Christmas Special.

The Art of Making Tea

January 13, 2009

I love coffee and I love tea. Two of the basic food groups as far as I’m concerned, the third of course being pizza. 
So, here’s a handy tip for a perfect cuppa…
… Always remember to put the kettle on first before pouring the water over your tea bag/coffee granules. 
‘Granules’ – What a great word! I [...]

Breakfast Happiness

January 12, 2009

In my never ending quest to find the perfect toaster (ie one that is both gadgety and makes great toast, I came upon this delightful little item…
 
How wonderful is that???? Toast – AND – Eggs! Done together in perfect harmony without the effort of finding a frying pan? 
Does anyone have one of these? Is it [...]
