Well Xmas turned out to be a bit of a shermozzle.
Got my laptop back the day before Xmas Eve - have found that several buttons on the keypad are not producing the symbol that's on their face. When I press the " button I get an @ symbol appearing. Very infuriating for a writter. Then when I press the @ button I get the " appearing. Any ideas on how to change that ?? When I press the end button I get a 1 appearing.
Cooked all night Xmas Eve ready for our Xmas Day lunch with friends. Had it all sorted and went to leave the house at 12pm when bang my front door handle fell off - completely. No way of reattatching it. House unable to be locked. Canceled Xmas lunch and watched all the food slowly go off because over the last few days I couldn't eat it all. Cancel Boxing day with my parents (yes oh my god my father asked me to come up) because I can't get up there and he won't drive down here in the rain.
I finally got part of the lock reattached on Saturday night so at least I can close the door. Got up on Sunday to go and see Avatar with Casey and wham - flat battery in the car. Luckily it was only that.
Got to movies and Avatar sold out so we book in for the next session - eat a fabulous big breakie by the beach and go for a drive in her new turbo charged car. But what happens.... the car stalls and won't start again. After a good time trying it slowly starts and creeps back to the Cinema just in time for the movie to start.
And doesn't Avatar rock!!!!
Then I had to cancel camping this week because of the rain : (
But I'm still smiling because you get to a point where the small things are good things because they're simply not bad things - lol
So the plus's...... Moby's new CD is fabulous, Book 3 is on its way although writers block is creeping in, I got the best Chrissy pressie, a TARDIS money box which at present holds $62 worth of 50 cent pieces and a beautiful calender although not for Xmas I absolutely love it (you know who you are darling - thank you!) and I'm celebrating NYE with friends down by the ocean watching fireworks and having a night picnic, then heading up to Bald Hill to photograph the blue moon.
So its all good, I'm still smiling and the crap the universe is throwing at me right now is being refused entry in my company - rotfl!!
