Interest

The Los Angeles exhibit manufacturers opened a year before I was born. I was a twinkling in mum's eye!! Apparently they do more than just trade exhibits, they will even show museum displays etc. And why am I so interested... well I just thought I would look up more information to try to tease Randolph with!!

Funny

Giggle. I think about my telling Randolph to check out Los Angeles exhibit manufacturers for his desk and I fall about laughing. I still think it is funny. Mind you it could be simply my sense of humour or lack of it. It is said the funniest thing I ever said or did was owned The Joke Shop... but I still am giggling!! LOL!!

Desks

It has been more than 3 years and Randolph is still looking for a desk!! Nothing is good enough!! Today he thought about taking a folding desk (incidentally metal legs and heavy) to Malta. We could not believe it. We told him, he might as well consider going to Los Angeles exhibit manufacturers, if he thinks he can take a desk from the Uk to Malta via RyanAir!!

We could not stop laughing!!!

Staines

We finished the downstairs flat today. The changes are incredible. It is now a 2 bedroom place with a luxury bathroom with corner bath. Put in a new carpet into one of the bedrooms. Bought a new washing machine. Put up curtains everywhere and even finished off with a couple of fragrance lamps. It really turned out well. Cannot wait for Owen to see it.

Spiders

I finally dug out my maternity clothes but found a spider had nestled inside and left a cobweb. Considering my phobia with spiders, it made my skin crawl. At least I have worked my phobia enough to just wash the clothes and be able to wear them. Hopefully all thoughts of the spider (which incidentally I did not see) will vanish!

Otherwise, I guess I could always shop for more!!

Fresh Smelling

Who would have thought that a carpet freshener and an air freshener could make such a difference to a house. The house smelt so much fresher when our new cleaner used them. I must get hold of some more smelly things like fragrance lamps or perhaps a sense and spray to keep the house constantly smelling fresh.

I must say I think I like our new cleaner.. pity she is only temporary till the new one returns.

Anniversary Gifts

I have been searching for a gift for Owen for our tenth anniversary. We always get each other traditional gifts. This year it is tin or aluminium. So after wrecking my brains, this is what I have so far short listed....

• Golf Drivers
• A Tinder Box
• A Ring
• A Conservatory

Owen said phones have tin in them too.... I think he is dropping a hint!!

Travel

We arrived yesterday after all our travelling. We flew ryanair which isn't so bad. I tend to think of it as a bus service and keep in mind that I don't carry heavy stuff like golf drivers or heavy luggage... then it really works out cheaply. Good thing too because otherwise we probably could not travel so often.
