Facebook ?? Bah Humbug!!

Yeah, that's my excuse. I figured that everyone has now discarded blogs for Facebook, so I didn't see the point in updating. Well, that's as good a reason as any. I, too have signed up for the dreaded imposter, and have since accepted invites from lots of you to be your "friend". Hey, I thought we were already friends?? Is it so important that we have more friends on Facebook than everyone else?? (Help me out here, I still haven't grasped the whole concept). Is is signigficant to be hugged, or slapped, or pinched by 128 of your friends?? I'm not getting it, obviously.... I mean, I can even receive a pair of nice shoes, (red, if I remember, with 15" heels) from one of my friends - I am still, by the way, checking my mail each day --- they must be coming from Italy (which can't be a bad thing..)

PLEASE tell me what Facebook has that is so special. It's not even a chat thing, is it?? Is there some prize for every hundred friends we collect?? Is it important that we probably don't even know these people, they just happen to know someone that we might know or be related to...??? I'm drowning here....

OK, so here I am back to have a whinge, and to add some new pics and some new dribble. But right now please excuse me because I have to shower and dress to go out and join some friends for a night of the best game ever, Cranium. If you haven't played Cranium yet, let me know and I will send you a complimentary slap on Facebook.


OK, remember how I bought a house in Darwin (that I absolutely loved)?? Well, I still do love it, but now that Charlie, Simone & kids are living in it - and me on weekends - it's just not doing the job. Unfortunately, when I bought it I had no insight into how difficult it would be for five people to share ONE bathroom (with the only toilet inside that bathroom), how a 3-car family with a fourth car (Joe's) frequently visiting could share a single car port. Nor did I stop to think about how I could possibly sleep in a bedroom with no windows leading to the outside - I am a fresh air freak. Didn't do my sums at all, just loved it and bought it. Now I have bought again. This time I haven't made any mistakes .... I think. The house has three bedrooms, a beautiful kitchen, etc etc etc, the tiniest spa you have ever seen, AND a seperate flat for Moi. My flat also has a big kitchen/lounge, huge bathroom and potentially two bedrooms.

You ready??? Here's the main house first, Kitchen;

(French design, with the cooking area seperate - the previous owners were French).

Next is the lounge; THIER furniture unfortunately....



The foyer; (complete with built in fish tank!!)


The master bedroom;



The front drive showing the house on the left, and my flat at the rear...

Please kind God, don't let me come home wobbly and finish this post tonight.
