Can´t believe I'm back on the site ... ! What a nightmare of a week since I returned from the UK and my wonderful visit with so many wonderful geeks.
Well, the trip was fine.
Got to Portsmouth late afternoon on Trafalgar Day and got to see all the excitement going on in the Harbor. Red Arrows and fire works and 200 ships in port to take part ... fantastic even if it was throwing it down. Planned to call in on Sassy, but a horrendous hold up on the M1 (2.5 hours) and the weather down south slowed us down and time ran out. Sorry Sass, was so looking forward to it.
Sailed to Bilbao and saw hundreds of Common Dolphins playing in the bow waves and bird life in the bay Of Biscay.
A long and uneventful drive across Spain and home ... the eventful stuff awaited us there!!
Unlocked the door and entered to find the electricity was off. Now this is not an uncommon event here on the Costa Blanca, but a prod at the food in the freezer soon told me that it had been off for sometime !! Next opened the door into the main room to turn off the alarm to find myself sloshing through 2 inches of water!!
The main part of the house was under 2 inches of water and this had blown the electricity which in turn had activated my surge protector for the computer which then died .. hence why you have not seen or heard from me for a week since my return.
I've been having a ll sorts of glitches with my very slow computer anyway so took the opportunity to have it all wiped and a nice new start. So here I am back and in the pink with my mega fast computer and Windows XP (no one ever taught me to defrag and clear cookies etc and hence I have never done it in 4 years and my system was full of s**t.)
Had a great time in the UK and the book "Nailclass" has gone to print ... Yeah!! Did all the final edits and illustrations so now I am excited to see it all happening. Stand by for news very soon.
I would like to finally say personally, thank you for the gorgeous flowers that Tracey UK, Joolz, JCS, Christi and Glynis so thoughtfully brought to the Monday Mentoring session which I enjoyed very much. What a lovely bunch were there!!! :hug: :hug: :hug:
The 'lend me a hand bit' is this. Please tell me if I have missed anything important or that I should have responded to ... send me the links and I'll take a look. Really missed you guys and am so glad to be back. XX
