Made record time coming back from LA, we left at 6:20am to beat the traffic and it all went according to plan. Going down there took 9 hours though. Anyroad, had a lovely time again. Can’t be doing with writing much now so here are some photos instead. There’s our house, chateau lapin, local sunsets, dolphins, oil fields and a moon. Enjoy 🙂

Coming along nicely. This weekend I’m going to sort out the automatic irrigation once and for all, though I have to admit that watering the plants by hand first and last thing every day is good for the soul.
Atticus approves ‘n’all.
Yep the 3:17 vowel-consonant ratio means it´s Saint David’s Day again. Have some daffs from the garden.
We had a nice old evening round Joop’s last night. Barbecue, guitar, office gossip, fine wines and house prices. Anyroad, went to town this morning to pick up tickets for star wars and sell some books and the streets were deserted ‘cos there was to be some parade or other. I wished I had my real camera with me, but I took a few snaps with me PDA. Sudarat and friends are coming round any second and I’m in charge of rice. Oh, the responsibility. Might manage some proper blogging tomorrow. Feels like it’s been a while and I think we have some dates for the next few months’ plans… The Gaytán-Fisher World Tour 2005-2006 should be passing through: L.A., Zummerzet, London, Brissle, Bournemouth, Oakland, Seattle, Portland, Vancouver, Zummerzet again, L.A., Nevada, Guadalajara… anyroad, as i said last time, still have to buy the tickets. The selling everything we own has so far netted: $15 for a guitar, and $27.50 for some books. Hoping to get a fair bit more and buy a superlight notepad/lappy for freelance webdesigning and suchlike. Blogging from the beach…
Bunnies are still the #1 searched for item, but ‘banana slugs’ have fallen 6 places to number 8, maybe cos it’s so easy to find them out in the wild this month. Sita’s googled herself 5 times… same as last month (incidentally, she’s Sita from now on, so potential employers don’t find this page). ‘Collage idle’ is a new one on me, i’m thinking that maybe some country has a “College Idol” program running (like American Idol or Pop Idol) and the audience can’t spell. bunnycam’s gained in popularity, shame it hasn’t been working for 6 months or so now. a “brit of trivia” is also a new entry. did you ever notice i spelled absorption wrong in the title of this blog? well, it’s a deliberate ploy to get traffic from other spelling-challenged internauts. Two hits for schipperke blog… and I hope the people searching for “the photos you’re not supposed to see” weren’t disappointed when they arrived on whatever page they got to. Still waiting for a googlewhack. you’d think ‘schipperke atticus’ would do it, but there’s 127 hits… Anyroad, those numbers in full:

and 40% of browsers use Firefox. If you’re not using it yet, you’re really missing out. I’d sooner go back to dial-up than IE. Don’t make me choose though…
