Floored Me
My current DIY project: laying an oak floor in the entrance hall and the downstairs reception room. I’ve pretty much completed this room now (the entrance hall) except for some edging. It took most of the weekend, but was a very enjoyable job. I like a bit of woodwork and it looks stunning, so I…

What do you think about
What do you think about this scenario? lostcamera.blogspot.com/2006/02/camera-unlost-but-not-quite-found.html (A lady lost her camera in Hawaii, and was told that a Canadian family had found it. She spoke to them, but they will not return it to her because they don’t want to take it away from their son and they bought a charger for it.…
