Windows , Apple , Linux etc........... Image via CrunchBase Tux, the Linux penguin (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Image via CrunchBase You use Windows, and all the rest, do you? You understand - well - a bit about it all....? Like this:  for example....! Windows gives the occasional burp, and it can be quite confusing, but funny as well! Just like in real life-help & support ain't there!  Never mind, there's always something you can try: Or how about this one: At least it will give you    something to do......for a long time!   Or you can play Detective, and find "unknown"!    In any case, life wouldn't be quite the same without these little things: Don't you think so......?

Some souvenirs of life.....

Hungerford Bridge (part 3 and last) FRIDAY, MARCH 04, 2005 - EDITED JUNE 2011 Hungerford Bridge (Part III) and last. Somehow the nights were getting longer and longer, even for London's deepest  winter.  Things like Haendel 's "Messiah" were being practiced, produced and performed  all over, so the proof that Christmas was near was evident.   (of course "George" was never scruffy and NEVER spilt the  wine!) The glass paradise of the Royal Festival Hall resounded with this music, but so  did many other places, and slowly but surely the 'new' novelty (it came around  every year) was wearing thin. George didn't seem to be aware of seasons, festivals or other such mundane things, maybe the passing of time in the Gordon's cellars  made such things unimportant, and so much the more startled were we  (my mentor Bill  and myself) when suddenly, one evening, as we were on the  point of leaving, ...

Santons.....

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santon_(figurine)   Although originally intended for the Nativity scene , these little figurines have become so popular (and expensive) that they now cover just about everything relating to the Provence , and some that don't! Around now, commerces put them up to attract customers, which works for me because I know one Wine dealer/producer who has the most magnificent santon display allowing me to taste the wines and order by the barrel to take home, and look at the santon display.  http://www.avignon-et-provence.com/santons-provence/foire-santons/#.Upcw48RDtMg ........Nowadays, they are run by electric motors - pumps and the lord knows what else! The water actually runs....the detail is magnificent...quite beautiful. If you get the chance to see a REAL set up, don't hesitate, even if you don't drink or need wine ! This  is one of my favourites - you can actually see the cards they have in their hands,  or this one   repre...
