Sharon is being kept in hospital until wednesday. The dog has been destroyed.
Bad News
I heard last night that Jackie’s (my daughter-in-law) sister Sharon had been savaged by the dog next door to their new house. She has been taken to hospital and kept in overnight. This is on top of Jackie’s dad having a major heart attack last Friday. Sad times.
More when I get it.
Busy Busy
I’ve not had chance to put up anything about my holiday yet. My step son and family moved house on Friday (the day we got back from holiday) and we went to the new house today (Saturday) to help out.
Back home
We’re back! Had a wonderful time in sunny Turkey. Will post some words and pictures in the next couple of days.

All Ready for the Holiday
We’re pretty much ready to go now. Tickets? Passports? Money? Check!
Suitcases packed, hand luggage mostly packed. Jamie’s in bed but not asleep (way too excited), I think Jan’s having a relax in the bath or something, and I’m sat in front of my PC (no change there then). Jan and I won’t be going to sleep tonight, not with having to leave for the airport at 4am. We are hoping that Jamie will get a few hours though.
Steve has very kindly offered to drive us to the airport. We are hoping to manage to get decent seats by being there early enough. We shall see.
If I don’t manage to blog again before I go. See y’all in a week!
Later days,
Mike
Holiday!
Not long now. We’ll soon be flying off to sunny Turkey. We will be staying at the Gokcen Hotel
Animation
Sad I know, but I’ve created an animated gif from some pictures of me I had lying around! You can find it here. It’s large (380K).
OK I was bored! I used Jasc’s Animation Shop
Google Catalogues
I’ve just found out about Google Catalogs.
Really interesting. They’ve scanned, OCR-ed and catalogued (pun intended) thousands of mail order catalogues. All searchable.
Try a search. It highlights your search term on the catalogue pages. Click on the image and you zoom into the scanned page with the item you searched for. At the bottom are contact details; web site, phone number, etc.
What an amazing idea!
