The 5th decade…. what’s in store?

So my colleagues have started a Word Press blog for me. I need a lesson.

Help!

Me thinks y’all will prefer this one….
A few things to note…

1. The upright bike in the entertainment area, right opposite the wet bar!
2. The piano.
3. The fish tank in the formal living room.
4. My guests will not have to walk far to use the shower room (there’s no bath in it, so can’t call it a ‘bathroom’!)
5. There are sliding doors leading to the laundry both from the kitchen and from the entertainment area….makes it easy to replenish the ice and hors d’oeuvres.
6. If this house were being built in Grenada, the entertainment area would have grill around it rather than walls. In Jamaica, then walls, windows and grills.
7. Big Kitchen….
8. Toilet off laundry for the helper and gardener to use.
9. The measurements are (32 x 30) + (4 x 20) = 960 + 80 = 1,040 sq feet approximately. Nice and cosy.
10. The TV room would be air conditioned, although there is also a window leading to the entertainment area.

Don’t go….there are pics….

I’ve said I’m not buying a house, right? And that still may be the case given my nomadic tendencies. However, came across a website called Smart Draw that allows you a trial to design your own home.

Here is my attempt at designing the house I will never be able to afford….

I’m watching a repeat of the historic You Tube debate with the Democratic candidates. I missed the whole of it last week.

Every time I look at Obama’s lips, I wonder if he smokes. His lips are very dark.

The analysts said that Hilary Clinton was miles away from the other candidates, and that Obama’s inexperience showed. I think that Hilary should be President, and Obama her Vice President. Now THAT would be historic!

Everytime I put saltfish to soak, it reminds me of my high school Chemistry teacher, Joan Hollingsworth.

She

Here is The Niece in her uniform. Of course, since we’re related, she also has a white box on her face!

This is the text of a note I am leaving under my new neighbour’s door this morning. He’s already gone off to work….
