He should sell this calendar

I was just looking on the Yahoo homepage and saw this hilarious calendar ;o)

He really should see about selling copies of it and have the last laugh with his friends!

a watched lamp...

I dusted the lamp base yesterday morning (half expecting a genie to appear ;))

I went to bed last night after putting Evie to bed (it gives me a chance to listen to my mp3 player), but I kept on watching the lamp to see if it would turn up the brightness and it didnt - whooppee dooooooooo ;o)

I will have to see how the lamp is tonight....

little boy tongue out

A few weeks ago while we were waiting for the previous session to finish at Tumble Tots a little boy (who I shall call Joe) was sticking his tongue out at Evie ;o)

So Evie stuck her tongue back out at Joe - and ever since now, when I say that we are going to Tumble Tots Evie says "little boy tongue out" ;o)

At the end of yesterdays session they were handing out certificates to the children moving up to the three-five year class and Joe was one of them!

So as Joes Mum was sitting next to where our bits were I told her that we were going to miss Joe and how Evie always says "little boy tongue out" ;o)

So I said to Joe that we like him sticking his tongue out (so he stuck his tongue out at us again and Evie stuck her tongue out too) and that "I bet not many people say that to you" and he laughed ;o)

So I told his Mum that we will see them in January as that will be when we move up to the next class ;o)  She said that his birthday isnt until July (so I guess that they are moving him up early to make room for the little ones coming upto being two).

With regards to my lamp the brightness went up again twice yesterday in quick succession - so I have tried wiping the base with a moist toilet wipe and will see if that helps ;o)

mysterious goings on

A few years ago James bought me a lamp that you touch on and off and it has three settings (low, medium and high).

On Saturday night I noticed that my lamp had gone from low to medium (I thought that James had come in without me seeing him and turned it up), so I turned it back down to low again, and a while later it had gone up to medium again!  I was watching the lamp at the time and it definitely did it by itself :o(

I told James about it yesterday morning and he said that the lamp was on when he came up to bed (I know that I had definitely turned it off when I went to sleep) and then it was on again when he woke up.

It happened again twice last night...

sand mahal

We were in town yesterday afternoon and James pointed out to me a sand sculpture being made....

...it is being done by a travel agent to advertise Asian holidays ;o)
