Married and a Mummy...

Yes a lot has happened since the last time I blogged…

The world cup ended with the psychic octopus being right! Wimbledon finished without being rained off (although the one match I actually watched start to finish saw my puppy –favourite- being knocked out! I really do curse anyone I actually want to support:S) And I was forced to play volleyball and rounders as part of our inter-Departmental league at work. (I am truly awful at both.)

In other news Nicky and Dovitz were doing brilliant in the motoGP…then I missed a race in which neither of them did particularly well (so maybe I don’t even need to actively support people to curse them?) And their name sakes (the snails) became the proud parents of several hundred of the cutest little snail babies I have ever seen! (Yes that is the mummy bit of the title. There is no way I am EVER having kids. And don’t tell me I’ll change my mind in a few years, I might…but it’s highly unlikely.)

Anyway I fed Dovitz some broccoli the other day and he’s been a little lack lustre ever since and his eyes went all droopy and I thought ‘O no! I’ve killed him! Like maybe there was pesticide on the food or something… but I came in this morning and he seems fine again…as do his several hundred babies that I really wasn’t expecting to find. Have had a gooey excited new mother moment…and now realise that several hundred baby snails will not all live in the tank (no matter how gigantic it is). So if anyone wants baby Giant African land Snails (and lives in the UK) I have a few going spare! If not…the poor little guys may need to go into the freezer. (As a potentially invasive pest I am not allowed to let them go:( )

There are cute pictures of baby snails (and pics of the snails’ escape attempts) but unfortunately I can’t put them up yet…

I have killed the power adapter for my laptop and whilst new on is being delivered as we speak, for the moment I am laptopless:( This means no TV, no emails and no blogging at home! Also no getting photos from the camera! But hopefully replacement adapter should be here tomorrow…hopefully.

Now what else did I have to blog about? Oh yes, ‘married’…I got married…on frontierville. (Again there is no way I am getting married. I’m less sure on this one than the babies thing, but having watched my mum get divorced twice and the other complications of my fun family I’m not sure I ever want to put anyone else through that.) So only married in a computer game…which I am highly addicted to:S I have got to stop finding these stupid games and spend my time doing something a little more productive…like sorting out that pile of washing in the middle of my floor… maybe later, for now, I need to go find some groundhogs to clobber!

Odd Bob and the anti-virus fiasco...

I’m not sure I’ve been doing this long enough for anyone to notice if I don’t post in a while…but I have been missing for almost a week!!

I’d like to say that that was because Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki turned up on my door step and kidnapped me to go fight ghosts and demons, stop Lucifer and generally prevent Armageddon…unfortunately this was not the case (but is a good excuse for more fitties pics…)


Instead I’ve sort of accidentally on purpose deleted the anti-virus software from my laptop!! (O no!) and to make matters worse things have been majorly hectic at work (Open weekend, we only do 1 every 4 years…I now know why. No one would be able to survive doing this more often!!) So no time for blogging:(

But how, I hear you ask, did I manage to accidentally on purpose delete my anti-virus software? Well it all started pretty simply by locking the annoying little pop up telling me it was time to update my software (seemed like a good idea at the time) only it turns out my anti-virus software was…um not quite legal shall we say…So Now it wants me to pay for it!

Instead I decide to be sneaky, delete the current version (now on a 30 day trial until I decide to pay for it) and reupload the version I have on a disc somewhere. (Yes I know I should have just paid for it! But I didn’t…don’t worry I’m paying for it now, literally and figuratively) see the disc I had turned out to be blank! So now I’ve deleted the trial version nd don’t have anything to replace it with!

I’ve decided this time I’d better choose the legal (and expensive) option. Hopefully this will all be in place in the next couple of days and I can get back to blogging normally again…until then I’d best get back to work before anyone notices…
