Ooooo, shiny!

Yep, another brand has released a new flavour and of course I just have to try it.... It's the next round in Tim Tam flavours - called Love Potions or something equally sappy. So nevrer mind that hot and humid is hardly the best chocolate eating weather, they will be in my shopping basket soon - all new meaning to hot little hands really.

Anyway, there is Chocolate Mud, Dark chocolate - or maybe double chocolate - and Rasperry, and Vanilla Toffee. All of which sound so good. Decisions decisions, why don't they come in a sampler pack dammit! :)

How many politicians does it take to change a lightbulb?

Or in fact, all the lightbulbs

Don't get me wrong, I like energy saver globes where appropriate, but I can't read by them, the light isn't good enough. And before you suggest putting in a brighter globe, when I moved in here we discovered that putting 100w globes inbew them within minutes, the wiring isn't designed for it.

So I use a mixture of energy saving and incandescents. I don't think that being forced to change to something which will require me somehow - lack of powerpoints plus load on any one powerpoint being a factor - to plug in another appliance seems somewhat counter productive to me.

*grumble*

If they imrpove the technology and/or take into account these not so little issues then maybe it would be more practical.
