The Universal City Metro Station is currently dressed as a Hamburg, Germany rail station for the tv show "The Unit"

I took some pics, I'll get them online in a bit - it's pretty funny, ALL of the signage is in German.

AAAhhhhhhhhh..... I see.

So did you have a Berliner sandwich for lunch then? :D

Soooo....

I've been a cleaning maniac tonight. I wish my house looked this good all the time! I've hosed out the bathrooms, vacuumed, cleaned floors, dusted, cleaned windows, cupboards, etc. I'm incredibly tired, especially since I've only had about 8 hours of sleep in the past three or four days (bad bout of insomnia), but I can sleep in a bit tomorrow, before the reason for this cleaning frenzy commences: a baby shower. A very good friend of mine is about to pop, and I offered to co-host a shower because I AM A FRIKKEN IDIOT.

No, actually I wanted to do it, but damn! I didn't count on this weird insomnia spell that's kicking my ass. Luckily my natural hyperness has kicked in, but my brain is slightly mushy. I don't anticipate any sort of advanced intellectual .......ality, tomorrow, so I am good to go.:D

Wendy that is amazing.... WE cleaned the house top to toe today - removed mattresses - vacuumed under beds - rotated mattresses, aired house, washed doonas / duvets / pillows as well as towels, sheets and clothes.

I tidied my ensuite, then the kitchen, then vacuumed the whole house after we took the tree down and wrapped all the USA glass ornaments and C7 light bulbs in tissue paper.

Then I watered the plants, cooked a potato bake for dinner, whipped up a chocolate mousse and ate dinner while watching an episode of More Tales Of The City on DVD.

I might have a shower and go to bed amongst my crisp lovely sheets soon.

There must be prodictivity in the air today !

We went to Sears yesterday afternoon and bought a new washer, dryer, and refrigerator. Then we spent the rest of our day packing VHS tapes, DVDs, and candles (we have a ****load of VHS tapes, DVDs, and candles).

I hope it wasn't 100*F there like I've seen in parts of your country!

I saw on the weather channel that there can be an amazing difference in the temps between spots of Austraila, though. I think the lowest high was 57*, and the highest high 100*.

Hopefully you were closer to the lowest durring all that work. Or have airconditioning.;)

About 90 yesterday, but thank god for that blessed air-con. :tiki:

I just got done working at our booth at the bridal fair. It amazes me that the guy who did our lighting for free did exactly what we wanted, yet the florist who charged $200 didn't do crap. The first table she did some twigs with orchids glued to a branch here and there, then little strings of plastic crystals hanging down there and here. The thing was anchored (or so we thought) in a bed of pink rocks and water with candles floating on the water. It was by no means worth $100. One of our guys carried it to my car after the show and the whole dang thing fell apart. So much for using it again. The other table had a few bud vases with a couple of whit lillies and some whit roses, no centerpiece at all. That table also cost us $100.

There was a great turnout. this was the 2nd fair of the season, the first being 2 weeks ago. Thank God we didn't do both. There is another one coming up in a few more weeks and we aren't doing it either.

*sigh* I am exhausted.

The Slobrador just ate the popcorn.

Bad dog.

Glad to hear that!
