Monday - Yay!
'Twas on a Monday Morning
(I got on & wrote this blog!)
It would appear that I hadn't sorted directing you to some of my photos in the previous blog - so try this. Thanks, Kitten. Feedback on this matter would be appreciated - like did it work, could you see them? Meanwhile aujour d'hui c'est Lundi. WooHoo! I really am going to do some of the housework. Timetabled it is, cos there's a Winnie the Pooh film on BBC2 this morning at 11am. So I shall be firm with myself (Hah!), get on with the housework, then watch the flim as a reward. Hmmm, better be a good one. Then it's more housework. Ah well, Look on the Bright Side - I have a house, and a husband who earns enough that I can be a full-time dilletante & part-time housewife! w00t! Definitely.
Today
annelaure has a meme thingy along the lines of "if you had me locked in your room for 24 hours what would you do with me". So I said I'd let her into the whole house & she could help with the Spring Cleaning. Dull? Not what she was hoping for? (Heck, I'm straight, & married!) & the cleaning does need doing.
To more interesting things - EIIR Maj is 80 21st April. Many Happy Returns to hER. Those wishing to see a few bits should click here.
Brunel's birthday blog, or the blog I wrote for Brunel's birthday, to phrase it more correctly, raised a fair bit of interest. So the interested could also look here and here. The latter site is definitely for the committed, but worth a skim anyway.
And I've been wandering around the BBC news website already this morning. Apparently Gordon Brown (UK Chancellor of the Exchequer - has the key to the moneybox) is pledging more aid for education in Africa. The plan seems to be to give 100million, or some similarly huge number, of children across Africa at least a Primary level education. Strikes me they need to provide several hundred thousand teachers first off. That & organise peace & safe conduct for far too many children. But it's a start.
The BBC correspondent, Jaimes Londale, commented that this would be viewed, in the UK, as part of "...a campaign to present a more rounded image of the man...". Talk about ethnocentred! I merely roffled at the 'more rounded image' & thought 'hologram'?
Further news items on Africa - why is it all lumped together like that for goodness sake. There are at least thirty different countries and goodness knows how many different tribes & languages. It's worse than saying "America" & meaning everything from Honduras to Canada! Anyway, try a review of last year's "Make Poverty History" campaign - then get on to your Representative & ask what they're doing about it now? And if your accommodation leaves a little to be desired - try here, & they're some of the more fortunate one!
There now, that should have been sufficient for some of you to put off the evil hour when you have to start on a Monday morning.
Hills_Debs can have it to start Tuesday morning (or something)
Meanwhile y'all have a good day now!
