So let's squeeze another yawn...
Today a good deed ... I helped an old lady cross the street. She didn't want to cross the street initially, so I had to make use of force to convince her. Kidding... She asked me to help her, grabbed my arm and we crossed, a thank-you, no chitchat, purely business. Now if people ask me what's my superpower I won't shrug anymore ... it's clearly helping old people cross the street.

Bygone...

Did I mention how much I hate Royal Mail? There's nothing royal about them, except perhaps the flamboyance of their daily fuck-ups. They had to deliver my tickets for Thailand, recorded delivery, so obviously they didn't catch me at home, as through a strange coincidence my working hours seem to overlap perfectly with theirs. And they didn't leave me a slip saying that "they've missed me"! Insensitive bastards! So the tickets were returned to sender and I had to call the travel agent today, an indian woman with a poor grasp of english who asked me to repeat every sentence at least twice. She promised to repost it on monday. I hope I won't have to check the post office every day "Is it there yet? Is it there yet?"

Bygone...

Last but not least ... I finally managed to download my pics from Barcelona from the camera to the computer and put them online for your enjoyment. Here's the link. Try to view them by slideshow. I was too lazy to add comments to pics, but if your memory fails you (duh! - consult your GP) the participants where: me, Christina (the girl in white sleeping all the time on the beach promenade), Mariana (the other brunette) and Analis (blonde).

I thought for a change I go one step beyond the YAWN :-)

And a sensible comment for you - ever since we moved to (in :-)) this country, I get important stuff sent to my workplace!
Royal Mail is the worst mail delivery service I've ever seen...
Uh well, is any mail service in any country good? At my old work in Germany they caught a guy (from a courier company I think) who was specialised in making new cellphones disappear! Unbelievable...

The Thai mailing system is fantastic. The air mail a huge box to Romania, in, r u ready? 5 DAYS!!!
Good luck getting those tickets! The Barcelona photos get better and better as the light changes..and some evening ones are really great! (man and woman reading on the beach) :)
Looks like you've got another fan gone wild! Still, it's funny to see how much effort and perseverence...
It reminds me of this scene I saw some years ago. This ,macho harrasing a hippie woman. Finally she turned to the guy and said out loud "I bet you have a small p_n_s!" The whole audience was on the floor laughing. So, anonymous...do we have to strip you naked?
