How is it that when i do a job for someone, or have a tenant move in, I give them all the instructions for how to work stuff, yet no-one told me that I had to keep on top of my webhosting package (and there's a phrase I didn't know before this morning) and if I didn't then my web-page would, well, disappear into the ether. Which it has. Great. And on top of that my email goes down. I have no clue if the two are linked. So on the day it is vitally urgent I email documents organising money transfers to Crete and surveys to clients in Saudi, I, faxless, am buggared. Note: have to get fax. So I have duly paid up to 123-reg (who are great for domain names should you need one), and the techy man who did the website is having to reload it on to new codes. Or something like that. Hands up who thinks life was less stressful when we just rang each other and sent things in the post??

i entered our 'house' last weekend and to my absolute delight the wall between the old kitchen and dining room was down!!  light flooded the new bigger room and despite the lack of floor boards and wires handing down I could visulize our new kitchen/breakfast room! you must be wondering why i was so surprised to be greeted by this sight!? Well, i had spoken to my builder that day asking when it would come down and be promised it would be next week - so he didn't know that some of his worker bees were busy in the house with their sledge hammers! the kitchen is being delivered in 3 weeks so it's all looking a bit more achievable!

Filmed at the wedding venue yesterday, and was horribly disappointed; set in a gorgeous location, a 400 year old tudor hall and barns but oh what had they done to the interior.....the backdrop is a cavernous brick barn with the original beams, and it could have been spectacular, but it was filled with utter tat - white fur curtains (looked like dead polar bears), led lights in blue green and red, the biggest and tackiest yellow gold chandelier I have ever seen, blue carpet, gold voiles pinned to the brick, fake ivy on 4ft candle sticks, leather padded doors..... it was like an episode of footballers wives set in a Dubai shopping mall. If you ever ask an interior designer on a commercial contract what one of the worst inputs on a job can, pound to a penny one answer will be the client's wife getting involved and insisting on input. Great place to do links though, ie the me talking to camera bit-managed to get in references to 007, George Cloony and sharks; who said property was dull!

I have found this artist that paints modern interiors/exteriors and his work looks absolutely stunning. Some of his modern designs look really surreal and colourful. To have those colourful interiors and exteriors on canvas is just so unique and wonderful. Seeing as most of you are designers you will really appreciate this guys artwork. Visit my modern abstract art blog link to see his stunning work http://modernabstractart.wordpress.com/2008/05/15/tom-mckinley-stunning-architectural-abstract-art/ And if you like unique MODERN female portraits visit this link, her work is so different to any other artist  http://modernabstractart.wordpress.com/2008/05/13/tina-ashton-elegant-modern-contemporary-portraits/

Saddened as I am by the Disaster in China, I also feel hugely dissapointed in the Rangers Fans that decended on Manchester Yesterday.As someone who works in the city, I finished work early and thought I'd go shopping. Unfortunately, the whole of Manchester was overun with Rangers fans. Now, I'm all for people having a good time in a different place, but the streets of manchester were disgusting, never have I seen so much litter across the streets. Shops had been shut so there was no-where else for them to go but the streets. Nevertheless I continued to struggle to find a bus to get home as Picadilly was shut off. No trams or busses could get in or out of Picadilly. When i finally got home and later switched the news, I found that there had been riots because the big screens had not switched on properly. I do not think this is sufficient reason for people to start rioting in manchester. Why did they not go to one of the hundreds of pubs in and around Manchester? Most pubs have T.V's more »
