Warm and Dry

I really miss Ballet. And when we work on The Ballet Shop, I really get nostalgic. We recently uploaded a new blog to the site and have update the site with a new colour scheme. It is still a work in progress but it is really coming along nicely.

It is such a pity that I have not found a Ballet class for adults here in IOM.

Keeping up with everything is really not easy. There is Arthur‘s website, my website, my surveys, my PPP, TON and who knows what! To top it off, trying to sort out Viola at the same time. Not easy in the least.

C’est la vie!

We have the pool area and adjoining rooms in Viola avenue and they need some structural work. We have been thinking or simply rebuilding the rooms as it means we have our minds at rest. So we started off by getting quotes. That alone was hard enough. You would be surprised how many people have answering machines and how many do not call back. What is the point.

So we started getting quotes. Then we thought for our protection, so the cost does not suddenly go up when they think they are milking a cash cow, we told them that we were going to have to refinance with mortgage loans. We thought that as long as they thought they were dealing with loans then they won’t add on “unexpected” costs. So we needed a change in quote and suddenly, the quote was £10k more than anticipated. Interesting!

Today I came across a post by Karl Moore, on Karl Moore’s Blog? of course. And it really made me giggle and pause for thought. I must admit that I did come in from a good saturday night out but I do not think I am that intoxicated to not enjoy a good post. Unless perhaps I am too intoxicated and so enjoyed it regardlessly.

I digress. His post called Friday Factoid which was written on saturday seemed to bounce around a bit. However there were lots of intriguing facts like did you know that Agatha Christie received most inspiration in the bath eating apples! Mmmm healthy! And Ian Fleming best known for James Bond also wrote Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.

Interesting. Don’t you agree?

I love Tesco. And their clothing range is great too! And now they are even giving me £25 worth of clothing vouchers when you sign up to Clothing at Tesco. What have you got to lose? Just click on the link and sign up.

I am so tired…. I really should go to bed. Maybe I will write just 1 more post. Just 1!

I got Randolph to get his new blog up and running. Now to get Roderick and Mikela. At least it will be easier as Randolph has an idea what he is doing. Perhaps he can show them! Or maybe I am that good and can show them how in a few minutes too!

Argh – what happened to Scooch! They were so much better in the UK finals! Why on earth did they add on the other 2 people. They destroyed their act. Even their music did not sound as good! They don’t stand a chance of winning now.
