i got bored of the other theme very quickly!
this one seems to be a lot easier on the eye and i spent a few hours 🙁 getting a row of recent pictures down the LHS – they even pop up in their own windows!
my head hurts now so no more pathetic attempts at coding for me today, sometimes i wonder why i bother…….. :dead:
yet another new look – all css this time (except for a few images 
)
better? – worse? – ugly? – too square? i just found the previous too effeminate for my mood……
Linda Boreman, who starred as Linda Lovelace in the 1972 pornographic film “Deep Throat” and later became an anti-porn advocate, died Monday from injuries she suffered in a car crash. She was 53
i was sitting at a bar on the river with 4 friends on saturday and not one of them knew who Thor Heyerdahl was and certainly didn’t care that he’d died.
i was gutted
.. is definitely here, the forecast for today is 22 C (72F), fine with no wind.
not as extreme as some of my friends from the US (32/90 one day then 5/40 a few days later) but working from home on days like this rocks!!!!
of course in saying this i have probably just wished some horrible weather on london!
man, i’ve had a great weekend !
saturday vic and i caught the ferry over the canary wharf and were going to have a look around the shops then catch the dlr to greenwich. we got 50 yards from the ferry terminal, met up with richie and stopped off for a “coffee” at a bar called jamies on the river. the front windows completely folded back so we sat in the sun on leather couches and had a couple of bottles of wine a quick phonecall later and david and claire had nipped over on the ferry and joined us! 4 hours, 6 bottles of wine, espressos and lunch later we decided to have a break, head home and meet up later.
later was at our place with “american pie 2” on the dvd and our new w i d e s c r e e n tv, pizza and more wine/beer :vbg: a great time was had until about 23:30 when most of us decided that 11 hours of almost non-stop drinking and eating was enough.
sunday started off with the sun streaming through the window and another fine day on the books. a lazy morning later we found ourselves in the car for a quick hour long drive to chelmsford in essex for a lunch date with our friends dawn and eddie.
chips and dip in the garden of their new 4 bedroom house under a lovely spring sun was the next order of business and as most of us relaxed dawn was busy preparing roast beef and yorkshire pudding yummmmm……………………
after lunch it was back for few hours in the garden chilling and chatting. then as the sun started to set and the temperature dropped it was back in the car for the drive home
and so here we are 20:00 on sunday night with a weekend spent doing the things i love.
good weather, good food, good drink and great company. now that’s what life’s about baby! 😎
Thor Heyerdahl has died at the age of 87.
In 1947, he and his five-person crew climbed aboard Kon-Tiki, an experimental balsa raft, and swept atop the Pacific’s Humboldt current from Peru to the Tuamotu islands – and into history………
i remember reading his books in my teens and enjoying his theories on how ancient peoples colonised various parts of the world, especially the pacific.
he hadn’t crossed mind in years and i think he’ll be a loss to the generally staid world of archeology.
