Resolutions

Ria — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:46:11 +0000

Pre-dawn awakening to the sounds of baby Sam, our attic bedroom muted grey from the snow-covered skylights. From the panoramic kitchen windows downstairs, we enjoyed the views of virginal roads and footpaths. It was another hour before another soul stirred outside and spoiled the pristine effect. Another hour before the sun rose.

Went sledding with

What does not kill me, makes me stronger

After spending a few days in the north of Senegal, I returned to Dakar to find one of my sites had been hacked. Each page of my photoblog, Ria Galleria, had a long list of ads and links above my own photo posts. The ads were all related to travel, which is preferable to zoophilia,

Relookage

Ria — Thu, 08 Mar 2007 00:09:26 +0000

With odds of 7 to 1, you might be surprised by a minor relookage, as the French say, in the form of a new header image. The odds come from a random image rotator, scripted by PhotoMatt, drawing on seven different header images.

Only thing is … the images seem reluctant to change with each

I noticed one of my recent posts had been picked up by a Chinese blogger.

Step 1: Backup your database â€“ check!

Nominated for Best Expat Weblog and Most Underappreciated Weblog

It was the blip in the stats that tipped me off. A sudden jump in the late afternoon, Caribbean time. Among the usual google image referrals for girl-on-girl housework and tits ‘n’ bums, kids ‘n’ mums, I spotted the fresh spoor from Ljubljana, Slovenia, referred by

CSS my house

Ria — Tue, 17 Jan 2006 22:18:42 +0000

I’ve got paint roller blisters after another marathon session repainting the stairwell. Ours is a new house and we are the first occupants. The builders painted all the inside walls matt white. Then some dufus came along and did some touch ups using gloss white, which shone its smeary brilliance from ceiling to floor.

Her throng of devotees will recognize that this one could only be for Vit.

(I think she already sneaked in to this blog earlier in the third photie)What do you think, Vit? Can Portugal beat the full makeup, jewellery and hairdo of Italy’s finest in the water?

BTW, this lake provides the drinking water for

The hiatus was due to a sudden and heavy load of work right at the end of my contract. Even though my contract is not being renewed, as a good girl guide, I felt duty-bound to go the extra mile and give it all I got
