whats a girl to do..

just when i am ready to get re inspired with blogging and join in the blogtoberfest our ISP goes down...we have had no phone for 3 days and no computer connection for the same...i was getting frustrated at not being able to blog, imagine the local businesses that were unable to trade other than in cash..one even got out the manual cash register with the crank handle...1920's style...
still, we're back in the land of IT again, i will commence the festival of bloggers late but none the less here..
3 days with no phone i have to say was quite pleasant, how they rule our lives..

its school holidays here and this is what Miss S bought home from the op-shop on thursday...
requesting that it gets turned into a little leather jacket.. the gold paint is lovingly being removed with nail polish remover and then we have to unpick....i hope there is enough fabric....
