Sunday...

Hi there,

I am having a bit of trouble with my blogging...the whole photo loading thing is annoying. I am doing this with Picassa but I can't seem to write something then load a photo so have to chose them all at the start then write something.
Can't be bothered messing round with it so will just do this for now and think about it tomorrow... even the text looks different typing it like this so who knows what will happen when I publish it, oh well...it is Sunday and I can't be arsed worrying about it. I hate Sunday, it means work tomorrow, and even though I actually quite like my job, I would rather not go...ever.

So, today I went for a walk up the Maitai. The photos attached are actually from another venture up there...the first is Stellar playing the the river (her favourite thing to do) and the second is the view from the top of one of the hills you can climb up. Today it wasn't just me and Stellar, sister in law, M and her dog Flynn (a lab/kelpie cross) came along as well. We strolled in the sun for about an hour and a quarter. It was a magical day and annoyingly the rest of Nelson decided to come along for a walk, bike, run or to simply drag their vile children or decrepid relatives along. We also encountered dozens of dogs of varying degrees of friendliness and had a very pleasant walk.



I am mad with this cause my photo won't move....

This afternoon I pottered about in one of the spare rooms which I have set up as my "studio"...really just a bedroom with an easel, my sewing machine and a heap of other stuff in it.
Then we went to see a movie called The Ironman, which is one of those comic based movies which I usually treat with some distain (well, think The Hulk...what crap)...anyway, this was great, good action, good but not dumb special effects and a witty, fast paced story line..and don't forget Robert Downy Junior who was HOT....
Right, must be tea time. I am starting the Fatty Challenge with my sister...not a very PC name but who cares, it's her challenge. An attempt to get healthy and look fabulous and feel great about ourselves. Anyway, my typing fingers won't work which just makes me mad and there seems to be no spell checker so I will go now...more talk about the Fatty Challenge tomorrow.
May I just sign off with a photo of Daisy...I love the setting!!

Ah, the days of photo fury are a horrible memory for me. I use Internet Explorer and it behaves fairly well. I prefer how my blog looks on Opera. The letters look prettier, but photos will not behave on there at all. I just insert photos from my picture files, always resized to small to save on annoying waiting while big photos load.
Welcome to the Fatty Challenge. Pleased to be nice and un-PC. I was sure I would weigh more on the first weigh-in, so not too devastated to start with. Only about 20kg to go. Mr B has the same to lose. All details are on Taming the Chocolate Baby. XXX
Ps. Love my job, but would be happy to stay at home and never go back.

By the way, my photos all load at the top of my text and I have to drag them around to where I want them. Opera won't let me drag at all. XXX
