My Name is Kate and I'm a Satellite Addict

Good Morning Dear Reader. I have been absent for a few days due to an overwhelming urge to watch television. On Friday, Mr Blogs had satellite tv installed, and I’m afraid it rather side tracked me. One of the channels had a Frasier weekend which I couldn’t resist. Oh the joy of watching repeats of a programme I have already seen. In fact it seems the satellite channels are chockablock with repeats, but all are strangely hypnotic. Anyhow, that’s enough about my newly discovered television habit. Oh must add this, if you ever wondered what happened to Eamon Holmes, he is now a regular on Sky news. Yes, you can see him every morning smarming* his way through the latest events. And if that isn’t a good reason to watch the BBC, I don’t know what is. One glimpse of him and I was headed for the pc.

(Is that a word? It should be, just for EH, it’s the perfect description of his presenting style.)

I’m still rather miffed about the whole spamblog thing, but it seems there is little I can do. Even if I deal with that particular spammer, others will simply step in to take their place. These people really are very low. I mean, I could understand someone stealing my content if it was incredibly interesting or valuable, but it’s not. I just ramble on, about nothing in particular. I comfort myself with the thought that what goes around, comes around. I’m not quite sure how that will apply to this particular bunch of thieves, but I’m sure it will sooner or later. Maybe, they will all catch itchy and embarrassing lurgies, well, I can dream.

And now, a meme, which you will find at Stopping Traffic, if you would like to have a go yourself:

1.When you put license plates on your car, do you renew the same one or get different ones? – I don’t own a car, never have, and don’t think I ever will. I’m lucky enough to live in a place where everything is close at hand, and which has excellent public transport.
2. How often do you go out to eat? Go through drive-thru? – Once or twice a month. I’ve never been to a drive-through
3. Do you autodeposit checks or put them in the bank yourself? – Deposit them myself. I’m a technophobe, and wouldn’t trust an automated system.
4. Would you rather have an hour of alone time, or “coffee” with a friend? – Coffee with a friend, I work from home, so I get enough alone time.
5. How easily do you get your feelings hurt? – It depends. I don’t think I’m particularly sensitive, so probably not that often.
6. Do you ever get up early enough to see the sun rise? – During the Winter, I do on most days, but in Summer not that often.
7. How often do you think you misinterpret something someone said or did, only to find out you got upset over nothing? – Not often.
8. Have your ever borrowed or loaned a large sum of money to a friend or relative? – No.
9. What is the true measure of a “friend?” – Someone who will give you a truthful answer to the question ‘Does my bum look big in this?’
10. On a scale from 1-10, how good are you with staying in touch with yours? – Pretty good, about an 8, I still have quite a few friends from my childhood.
