Just been watching a programme about elephants. 'Lovely animals, strange but beautiful' I said at the end. My husband opened his eyes looked at the TV and replied 'Hmm, Anteaters'
What! Just how much Coke is in that Vodka!!!

Lost and Found
Well after letting off steam yesterday with Emirates after two phone calls to their Dubai Airport Lost and Found and three ignored emails to the airline I about my lost Kindle on my flight back from the Maldives, I sent a rather stern message to Emirates Customer services.
Today I contacted Kindle to inform them I had lost my Kindle in case anyone managed to order books through my account,. The good news was, I found out I could download an App that would allow me to access all the books I'd bought through Amazon on my laptop - Yippee, I can finish the 50 Shades Deeper I started on my holiday!
Feeling pleased with myself that I could access my library of book purchases, I routinely checked my emails there it was, an email from Emirates Customer Service, even better, they've got my Kindle, woo hoo!!!
Then ping! Amazon's amazingly efficient service-an email telling me they had de-activated my account attached to my Kindle-Nooo.
Well done Amazon for your extremely quick and efficient customer service, however, on this occasion, I can't help wishing they had been a bit more like Dubai Lost and Found!
Oh well ... 50 Shades, now where was I up to...

The Art of Blogging
Is it just me that finds blogging so difficult?
Despite my love of writing I find it much easier to write about other people, lose myself in a world of make-believe and let my imagination run away as I hit the keys, or rattle off a rhyme, but writing about myself and opening up my world for all to see is a different matter. Whether it's concerns about how much to disclose, not wanting to bore people or worries about how friends and family might react if I inadvertently reveal something they don't want people to see, I'm not really sure.
So I'll get my apologies out of the way now and if you do have any feedback good or bad, let me know.
I'm told it gets easier - we'll see!
