Chop Chop Busy Busy Work Work Bang Bang

Anyone else remember that phrase? If you do, you're admitting to being of a certain age. As I figure most of my readers remember it well, I thought it safe to use it as a title. It was an ad for British Telecom in the early eighties with a load of busy busy penguins and when I sat down to blog today - to try and explain my absence for so long - the phrase came to mind. Have a peek?


I was actually horrified when I realised I haven't blogged in over, er, six weeks. No excuses. I've had a fabulous but busy time and today I have some 'me time' back. And the first thing I want to do is get back in touch with my inner blog child. The one that routinely writes, the one who loves chatting to blog pals, the one who sometimes (not often) has something important to say. The one who says it anyway even when it's not important.

Trying to get back into my writing routine does of course require a 'To Do' list. Today's list makes me smile because it's my list of things I want to do for me. Yay! The simple pleasures.

First on my list is to apologise to any readers that I may have left (Is there anybody theeerrrre???) after being away so long. Bless me bloggers, for I have sinned. It's been six weeks since my last outing. The second thing on my list is to read and re-write the first chapter of the book. Yeah. The book.....I still haven't started the submission process but I WILL. Very soon. I figure it will be on next Wednesday's list. The third thing is to pay my credit card bill though I suspect that may make it to Wednesday's list too.

See? Some things don't change in six weeks.

So, I'll leave you until Monday with something else along the penguin theme. This one, rather than send my heart rate racing reminding me of my busy Summer, makes me feel happy. It makes my feet tap together under the desk. If I had red shoes I'd be in Kansas.

Andalusians were found to overtrack less (the degree to which the hind foot lands ahead of the front hoof print) but also exhibit greater flexing of both fore and hind joints, movement consistent with the more elevated way of going typically found in this breed. The authors of the study theorized that these characteristics of the breed's trot may contribute to their success as a riding and dressage horse.Forum Link Building company Review

A 2008 study found that Andalusians experience ischaemic (reduced blood flow) diseases of the small intestine at a rate significantly higher than other breeds, and stallions had higher numbers of inguinal hernias, with risk for occurrence 30 times greater than other breeds.

Strict quarantine guidelines prohibited the importation of new Andalusian blood to Australia for many years, but since 1999, regulations have been relaxed and more than half a dozen new horses have been imported.

Evidence suggests that the planet was once significantly more habitable than it is today, but whether living organisms ever existed there remains unknown. The Viking probes of the mid-1970s carried experiments designed to detect microorganisms in Martian soil at their respective landing sites and had positive results, including a temporary increase of CO2 production on exposure to water and nutrients. This sign of life was later disputed by some scientists, resulting in a continuing debate, with NASA scientist Gilbert Levin asserting that Viking may have found life.

The ownership of Hemingway's manuscripts is complicated. Two books have been published from the African book manuscript: True at First Light, edited by Patrick Hemingway, and Under Kilimanjaro, edited by scholars Robert Lewis and Robert Fleming. In 1965 Mary Hemingway established the Hemingway Foundation, and in the 1970s she donated her husband's papers to the John F. Kennedy Library.

Some U.S. officials also accused Iraqi President Saddam Hussein of harboring and supporting al-Qaeda,[55] but no evidence of a meaningful connection was ever found.[56][57] Other reasons for the invasion given by the governments of the attacking countries included Iraq's financial support for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers,[58] Iraqi government human rights abuse,[59] and an effort to spread democracy to the country.
