An Update...

So here I find myself again, in my gym clothes with every intention of going, yet finding so many other important things to do than go to the gym, including writing in my blog. The giant and I had a fabulous weekend mainly because we finally got the GPS to work so we didn't end up fighting because we spend half of the day getting lost. I was particularily happy to find out that our GPS includes McDonalds as points of interest and many a roadside 'danger meal' (see photo above). McDonald's close competitors. Its nice to be able to go for a drive and every so often you look out the window and see sand all around you or camels or flamingoes, and then you remember you're not home and actually in the desert. As co-pilot on this desert adventure, I was on a photographic joyride. As we followed the unsuspecting few to get some choice shots, the GPS lady was going crazy yelling with the same intonation "recalculating" and "make a u-turn right now if possible". We know we're not following your directions Bi-atch as we affectionately call her- but sometimes you see something and need to go off road to capture the moment (see photo of man on bike texting in the desert).

I went to IKEA last week and I don't know what the brew-ha-ha is about it being a place of evil and a harvester of badwill and headaches. The amount of adrenaline that was pumping through my system was out of control. If it were an olympic sport, I would do my country proud. As always, I went for a pillow and came out with a trolley full of things with viking sounding names. While I was there I got the inspiration to turn our spare bedroom into a study/craft room. In a very modest sort of way, I cant even begin to put into words how impressed I am with myself. Since my stroke of genius, I have been calling myself a visionary and often call upon the giant to confirm whether he also thinks so. He does of course. Please note space to the left that will soon house my sewing machine which I have asked Santa for Christmas. Sent him a letter to see if I can get it a little earlier than December- now waiting to hear back, although I think his reindeer may be held up in customs.

I'm now off to Satwa- an Indian community where they sell fabrics and craft goods. Lets see what I come home with this time...
