Too Good To Be True...

So, Windows Live Writer. What I spent a good portion of yesterday learning how to use... totally hacked my computer and was making my life miserable. It decided to install some Child Safety program which would not let me check my email or go to certain websites. Even after I changed the settings to not block anything, and then deleted the online account. It disabled the program, but it still worked, so I uninstalled. Twice. Four re-boots later, I still have a weird file folder opening on start up, with no explanation, but I am finally at least allowed to check my own email. Sheesh, what a disappointment! Guess it's back to the basics for me. Lesson learned. Should have learned it years ago. When something looks too good to be true, it probably is. Oh well.

Windows Live Writer.

This post has been edited (17th of June) to move photos to new site.

This is the new program with which I have spent the majority of my day playing with. So I decided to play around with some photos that I took the other day on the way to the doctor’s office.

This is one of my all time favorite signs. There is just so much going on here… Give Way: This reminds me of the Way Out signs that they have instead of Exit signs. Every time I read one I think Way Out, Far Out, Dude… Anyway, apparently Give Way reminds me of Way Out and I just laugh. Then there are the Round-A-Bouts. This country loves them. Who needs stoplights when you can just let people fight it out in a circle?! And of course, the classic Speed Humps. Nuff said.


This car obviously did not know how to read the signs. Or know which side of the road to drive on. Also, she apparently did not know not to drive on the sidewalk. What’s up with that?!


Classy.

Blog Layout.

Some of you may have noticed that there have been some changes to my blog in the last few days. I've been trying out some new things, some which have made it better, and some which were just crap. It has been keeping me quite busy, which is good for me personally. :)

****edited**** to say that I have just discovered a brand new blog creation device, which will allow me to put maps up, as well as do more with my photos. I have been working on my test post for about 3 hours now, but it finally uploaded!

Picnic.

I almost forgot to talk about the weather today. It was 75F at noon, and we packed a picnic lunch and went to the park. It was sooo nice! There was a gentle breeze, and it was sunny. I am really enjoying this weather. I've been putting the washing out on the clothes line instead of running the dryer. We get sun to the back patio almost all day, which really helps, and the buildings keep down the breeze mostly, so things don't fall off the line. Anyway. I'm being such a homemaker lately, I just wanted to share!

My Second Cooking Venture.

So, today was the second, and more healthy of my two meals I know how to cook. It went over just as well as the first one with the children. I think I may expand my menu to cover some side dishes. But I have to look some stuff up first. And there are other recipes that I know and love, but I just can't get a hold of the ingredients here on this side of the pond. It's so frustrating! It's the 21st Century people, why does do you not have refrigerated Pillsbury Crescent Rolls? I mean REALLY people, what's up with that!!! Anyway. That's all for now!
