What an amazing clock!

Wow. Again, thanks to D&A Lab. I seem to be reblogging a lot from you at the moment. This is the best clock I have ever seem. And I like back-to-front clocks, so that's saying something.

Sweeties!

Isn't this amazing?! Thanks to http://dna-protein.blogspot.com/ and everyone should go and visit her blog :)

Haha!

An elephant walks into a room with a naked man.
The elephant says to the man, "how do you breath through that?"

Ohhh...

...Sherlock!

Given the ending of this series, I'm so glad there's a third series. in thew works.

I'm a little bit in love with Moffet's interpretation.

Merry Christmas!

I am currently having to CTRL+V every time I want an s in whatever I type. Because my keyboard has stopped working. It is infuriating. And I hadn't realised how much I rely on that one letter. so (sorry,  I didn't copy a capital s) Does anyone have any ideas as to how to fix it? The little soft plastic nub under the plastic key isn't working either. so the key is not just stuck.

HELP ME.


In other news, merry Christmas. This year, I feel festive :D.

Also, I have gotten used to CTRL+V remarkably quickly. Interesting how easy it is to adapt. Not that I don't want my s fixed though...

Some Things.

1. See there is a new link at the top of the page? I've decided to start reviewing the books I'm reading. Go have a look :)

2. on a trip to Morrisons yesterday three things happened that made me smile.

         a) I met the nicest and politest counterman. It was all Madam and an enthusiastic how can I help you? And then he complimented me on my fabric water drop badge. That is first time anyone noticed it, and it was just nice.

           b) As I wondered past the socks and tights I passed a man looking so very confused. So I helped him. The look of relief on his face was pronounced.

           c) Morrisons have those huge two compartment revolving glass doors. As I was leaving, I had to join a queue. A queue to exit the shop. Does that get much more British?
