Too much stress for me recently.
No bad news; good to hear MidnightBlue.

Vman, there are some amazing sea caves in the Algarve. The Benagil and the Zhairra (sp.?) are amazing.

Wow! I've been to the Algarve but I hsve not seen those. Excellent.

England scraped home 2-1 with a late winner.

Hello folks, Just checking in to say that I have been having a good day so far. No AV anywhere in vicinity. Later in the evening, I am planning to run at the gym and color with my son. Thank you!

I'm one of those guys that never reads intructions for self assembly furniture. That might be why I went into this room at London Zoo without reading the warning sign on the door. The spiders here were free range, no ten centimetres of glass between them and me. I am surprised that a change of trousers wasn't required given my level of fear. This chap was a few centimetres/inches above my head and was not the biggest one either but I was too scared to take more than a couple of pics.

Seeing that spider makes me think of Vincent Price in Alice Coopers 'The Black Widow'. "Here we have Archnida, the spider, our finest collection....".

Kudos to your son, Dragon! He may soon be ready to enter a chili making contest!

Mumma Dragon put her foot down the other week. Being 19 and 21, the kids must start to cook a meal or two each week. I hartley applauded her as I often tell her she does too much for them as it is. Oh they do chores around the house, but only if specifically and equally assigned. They've been known to unload half the dishwasher leaving the rest for the other.

The toilet next to my sons room needs a new pull chain. I told him I'm not fixing it unill he scrubs that room from top to bottom (It's disgusting in there). So far it's been three days with no progress.

- rant over -

Ran 5 miles at the gym. Tired and sleepy. Mild AV chatter mainly after the gym - "Hey you, get coors light for me". Said no way , had dinner and now sleepy. End of day 3. Have a good sober day all.

Morning, weekenders.

Having coffee.

Relocated to the balcony.

It's windy and not hot yet. I love this weather.

I really enjoy doing nothing.

It scares me a bit.

Dragon - I love the part about half-unloaded dish washing machine. So creative)
