A BIRDBATH ON A STORMY DAY

The birdbath was a birthday gift to my husband from a police woman. Hello?

This has taken me hours to do. It has poured with rain, there have been furious blasts of wind but the biggest problem of all was new everything. Even iPhoto is not the same. I cannot upgrade PhotoShop and cannot even buy the full monty again. The instant the site sees that my billing address is in Italy the whole site switches to the Italian one. I don't want PhotoShop in Italian. There is no way to e-mail them and their telephone number is an 800 one which I can't use from here. Amazon USA won't ship to an Italian address and Amazon UK only has the Windows version. I have downloaded an Aperture trial but it is a whole lot like iPhoto.

I am in very bad tune, I can tell you. I really hate appliances and machinery that know what to do better than I do, myself.

The wind and rain is playing havoc with the jasmine so I took this pic before it is all blown away. House with jasmine

Stars: My mouse seems to move automatically to the fifth star the instant I see a knock-out blip and I'm sure it will continue to do so, but I am turning mine off so that other blippers do not feel they have to reciprocate even if my own is unworthy.
