I see your face underneath my pillow.....

Ack! What a week. Thank God it's over. I mean it had one or two good points but not many!

What is going on with mosquitos at the moment? I killed two huge ones last night. Both full of blood. I have to say mosquitos are one of the few creatures I'd happily make extinct.

In relation to one of my earlier posts:

[Someone should show me how to put an easy reference in, cos I don't know how!]
This is having a knock-on effect. Due to the lack of bees, hence the lack of pollination skills, there is now a threat to a wild flowers who are reliant on the humble bee. Apparently the hover fly just doesn't cut it (must admit though hover flies are cool too!).

All a bit sad really.

One entertaining point aboot this week was reading the book below right:













It must be said, the cover makes it look like soft porn. Plus the little sentence on the cover "His fantasy had come true he was a lone man on a planet inhabited entirely by women"

It certainly opened me up for some comedy abuse. I must state that, sadly, there was no rumpy pumpy in the whole book. I was, to be fair, a rather simple and obvious science fiction book, albeit with a load of 'real science' mumbo at the back to support Poul's scientific credentials. I wasn't impressed.

A further experiment this week - I had a skinful of beer last night and thought (as per usual in this state of mind) 'I need a kebab!'. Angry, also with beer hunger and a love of kebabs, accompanied me and because of our need for speed we ordered two large doners and chips.

BUT! I thought, 'I wonder if I don't have chilli sauce that will reduce my kebab hangover?' So I just got onion, tomato, lemon and chillis.

THE RESULT: No kebab hangover!! I mean it wasn't as tasty but overall a success!

Finally! [this is a bit like a news bulletin]

I was in the car coming back from footie (I often have revelations at this time) and I remembered in the good old days at university my old mate PK told me a bit of a story [this is another one of my moments of naivety].

We used to chat aboot music a lot as we shared common ground in musical taste, most notably King Crimson and Rush (he, to his credit, introduced me to the joys of Crimson). He was also a big fan of Queen, who I've never liked, and was pontificating on the greatness of Freddie Mercury's voice.

"The reason he has such a unique voice" quoth PK "is down to the fact he smokes special cigarettes" He continued "He smokes pink cigarettes which make his voice have a interesting tone".

Hmmmmmm. It suddenly hit me in the car, all of 18 years later! Was he being literal or was this a gag! Was he referring to Mr Mercury's love of chobbling on the 'rod of flesh'? I honestly don't think there is such a thing as pink cigarettes. Oh how he must've giggled.

Hi spunks. It's easy to include a link. When you are in blogger in 'compose mode' highlight the word or phrase of words that you want to server as the link. Then in the blogger post creating / drafting tool bar, there is a hyper text button. Click on it. It opens up a little dialogue box. It is in this box where you type the real address a la http://theamazingworldofcheese.blogspot.com/2006/05/am-i-holding-on-will-this-always-be.html.

ps - the hyper text button looks like a couple of links in a linked chain.

Bees - To hell with 'em.

See the image you get when the only bees near you are hornets? They're in the shed roof, garage, house roof and they've just expanded into the pool, the little bastards.

Ellie, see I think the link button looks like a scary toothy grin!

Was never very good with computers...
