Say hello to Made (pronounced Madie), a wonderful woman we met in Bali. While trying to arrange a trip from Kuta to Ubud she offered to drive us for a very reasonable fee and then treated us to a wonderful day out. I wanted to go to follow a Yoga Class at the Bali Spirit [...]

Continuing with the people we met in Bali, here is a photo of Andrew, a very friendly beach salesman. He specializes in jewelry but also runs a taxi service in Tuban.
You can catch him on the beach in front of the Ramada Bintang Bali Hotel. He even managed to sell me a pair of reading [...]

So there I was with a new uninstallable printer so I thought I would replace my wife’s computer and install the printer on that and share it.
Well my wife has a casual approach to computing and uses hers for occasional work that she brings home and card games and such. Her computer, a Pentium II [...]

A nice look around Flip’s site led me to this post about the French language and France. I just thought I’d add that French is my second tongue and that a third of Switzerland speaks French too. I might also add that the Swiss are a little more open to other languages (having four national [...]

In fact it’s not Tweeky but Dwicky but unfortunately the email address he gave me so that I [...]

Well I’ve been back from holidays for over a week. I think I have too much to tell you and I can’t decide what to say first!
How about I list what I thought of telling you about and you choose something in the list. Just so you can see I am not that lazy, I [...]

Just a heads up for those interested in my holiday pics. They can be found here!

Enjoy!

I’ve had a whole load of computer problems since we came back from Bali so this months Photo Quest entry almost never happened …

First off here is a pic of what will become our favourite painting and you get to see it before they get framed. We bought them during our holidays and I just [...]
