New Start

Since I'm all new to blogs, am gonna take it slowly...

Listening to Coldplay as I write this...love their music :)

Still recovering from a bad cold & cough, went to the Doc to get medicine. Hate it !! Makes me sooooo drowwwwwwwsy, have found my brain fogging up this week, hate the feeling........very strong these drugs.

Jerry is off on his nightly hunt, would love to know what he gets up to all night long, have thought of putting a web cam on him....hehe...but logic prevails in the end.

Spent the morning cleaning up the house (hate such tasks)...but it had to be done, no one else to do these things. Wish we had housekeeping services like they have abroad, I'd sign up in a jiffy.

Tangy has come to give me some company as I write...after scratching the laptop bag (of course, something he has to do...cat compulsion i guess..never miss an opportunity to scratch)

Finally saw the last episode of "The Amazing Race-Asia"; was very glad that the girls won, the first all women team to ever win an Amazing Race, its disappointing that they only got a hundred thousand dollars, the american version has a million dollars as prize money. But it was a very well fought race, good camaraderie between all of them, unlike the American version which is full of racist and gender related slurs/comments amongst the contestants.

It was the last episode of Francesco's Italy from Top to Toe on BBC, very good series by Francesco da Mosto. He gave an insight on Italy from a very italian perspective, made me want to pick up the phone & book a ticket to Italy to see firsthand all the places featured on the show.

I especially loved the Water gardens of Villa d'Este, staring into the labyrith that is Mount Etna, very eerie, treacherous yet so tempting. It must be so terrifying yet thrilling at the same time to stand at the edge of a live volcano, today I understood why vulcanologists risk everything to do this as a vocation.

Can't just get up & go to Italy, but have added that to my list of places I have to visit before I die (or maybe as a ghost, after death.....might even be faster & cheaper...but scratched that idea too, I don't belive in ghosts, so how could I end up being one?) or can you be a ghost, even though you don't believe in them?........don't really know the answer to that one, does anybody.

Can hear this one again & again .... (still somehow never quite get the lyrics right...something not quite right with the grey cells)

God Put A Smile Upon Your Face lyrics
Where do we go nobody knows?
I've gotta say I'm on my way down
God give me style and give me grace
God put a smile upon my face
Where do we go to draw the line?
I've gotta say I wasted all your time, (oh honey honey)
Where do I go to fall from grace?
God put a smile upon your face, yeah

Now, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to
Now, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face, ah yeah

Now, when you work it out I'm worse than you
Yeah, when you work it out I wanted to
Now, when you work out where to draw the line
Your guess is as good as mine
Its as good as mine [x7]

Where do we go nobody knows?
Don't even say you're on your way down, (when)
God gave you style and gave you grace
And put a smile upon your face
