I’m so lucky. We did get sunshine, and # 4 Brats big day on Saturday was absolutely lovely.
This is the state of my party tent on Thursday evening – pouring rain and tent roof propped up by broomsticks and patio furniture…
We’ve been invited out for a meal by sis and her hubby – she had her birthday 2 days ago, and since he had to work on the day, he decided we should make an evening of it on Saturday.
I believe we’re in for a treat, too… The restaurant is called Refsnes Gods (Gods means estate), and it’s famous in the area for its excellent service and gourmet kitchen.
The main building was built in 1767, and it’s also a renowned hotel.
I’ll be driving, so I’ll only be able to enjoy the food and not the wine (one of the brats will be sleeping rough in a cave tomorrow night, and we want to be available if something happens), but boy, will I enjoy the food… I’m not sure we’ll be up for the Grand menu (7 courses), but I’m confident we can get through 4 or 5…
Sarcastic Mom and her family are living in mould hell, they’re all getting sick from it – her BABY BOY is getting sick… Their landlord does nothing but procrastinate, and all they want and need is to get out of there as fast as possible. Medical bills are piling up, though, and terminating the lease before time might be costly.
Go see A Whole Lot Of Nothing for things you can do to help, or go see Sarcastic Mom for an overview of the ghastly situation and a PayPal donation button.
Any donation is appreciated!

As I’ve said in previous posts, I can’t post all the Big Bang links in one post, so I have to divide them into batches. For the rules and updated master list, please go HERE.
My Technorati authority has SOARED since I joined… Check it out!
I only just recently discovered the workings of feeds, which was an epiphany of sorts… I’ve been finding new blogs to subscribe to every day since. I visit my reader too, in case you’re wondering!
As with anything new, I have my eye on the reader widget. Somehow I had 14 readers when I put it up – I obviously have some very net-savvy friends out there. Since then, the number has gone up and down on a daily basis. The overall trend is positive, but I wonder how people use it? 36 one day, then down to 25, and back up to 31 the next day. Do they jump back and forth, subscribe/unsubscribe, or do people just stay subscribed for a day or two, to see if anything interesting arises?? What a depressing thought – if that’s the case, I’m losing 4-5 potentially faithful readers every day due to terribly boring content…
On the other hand, we can’t all be writing about making money online, how to game Google, who’s had who in Hollywood or the latest SEO tricks – at least not every day.
I’ll just plod on, I think. The trend is, as I said, positive. I’m not sure when I put the thing up – a little less than a month ago, perhaps? Which means that I’ve gained one roughly every two days. Not bad at all *patting myself on the back*, considering.
I won’t be having any contests to have people subscribe, that would just add to the in/out crowd.
I will, however, point out to anyone reading this that the subscribe button is the orange/stripy thing top right, but that’s as far as I’ll go…
To you, รด faithful ones, I extend a “thank you”, and a wish for a wonderful Valentine’s Day. (The rest of you have a great one as well!!!)
I had to delete my first Big Bang post today – I tried to update the link list, and the contents disappeared. I then tried to post it again – without any luck. The links list kept disappearing.
I don’t know what happens. maybe there are just too many links… So I’ve decided to post the links in batches. The last 300 or so are in the previous post, and the first 200 follow below. If you want to join in, you’ll just have to go HERE to find the entire master list and the rules……
Oh, and Comedy Plus tagged me.
Here is the latest batch of linkees from Big Bang…
