Ma première carte postale...

Thursday, 22 January 2009

My first Post Crossing post card arrived today... It was from a lady from Menton in the French Riveria... (a lovely old door from Menton is pictured left)... Almost on the border of Italy. Very picturesque! (I thought I would try to begin in good spirits).

Unfortunately apart from that there has been some bad news... Ganesh had a car crash in the little yellow extremely fuel efficient 2 door car (the canary) - yes, I'm trying to justify having a car at all - though he is quite alright the car is somewhat less than ok and appears to no longer be driveable... You can drive it but it makes really strange noises and the brakes are very soft. It's quite a shame given that we only had 3rd party property and it was technically his fault... So no more car for a while unless we can find spare parts at the wreckers. This is sure to help my carbon footprint and bike riding initiatives though so all is not lost!

Apart from that work has been particularly hectic... Somehow I managed to get stuck doing IT help desk stuff all week... I'm not particularly good at it so it takes me much longer than it would normally take someone who knows what they are doing! I also managed to bake the worst cake ever imaginable. I got a sugar free recipe from the web because one of our staff is a diabetic and it ended up tasting like playdough - with the same consistency! The diabetic appreciated it though and ate the entire cake... Everyone else has since banned me from the kitchen!

Well, I'm rambling about nothing in particular and certainly nothing interesting so I'm going to stop here and salvage at least a tiny portion of my commitment to write more focused blog posts...

And I thought I'd leave the other bad news to the end... Some how I managed to gain 1.5kg despite the bike riding so I'm now up 0.5kg rather than down at all! Disaster!
