I've got my delivery today for my cooks professional mixer and knives, even more so I'm thankful to my lovely neighbour for taking it in as I missed the driver. I could have kissed him I was that excited! Lol! One down one to go, deliveries that is not mixers lol! :D

Joan what did you get?
Sounds good Angie, what make is the mixer ?

I've got an Asus Laptop with Windows 8, that's why I've not been around much today, apart from it being Friday and always a busy day for me I've been busy sorting it out and setting it up.

I'm having fun so far trying to find my way around, I thought I'd give it a fair trial with the Metro look before deciding if I want to switch to a more familiar Windows 7 look.

Haven't sorted out the forums yet so had to come back to my desktop to post, done my email accounts.

I'm now going to shut this one down for the night and go and play a bit more with the lappy. ;)

I got a cooks professional stand mixer, I've been umming and ahhhing about get one for a while because they're expensive. However, got this on a deal as it should have been £300 got it for £90 so am thrilled. I generally make my cakes with a hand whisk but this is for more heavy duty stuff like the Christmas cakes.

Once I'm feeling better will get it fired up.

Ooh sounds like you're having fun, :D is it an early Christmas present?

That is definitely a good deal, I have a Kenwood Chef. When I think what I paid for that in the 60's and what they cost now, wow ridiculous, think I paid between £30 to £40 for it and it's still going strong. It came with the K beater, balloon whisk and dough hook, I also got the liquidiser with it.
Hope you have many years of mixing with yours. ;)

You could call the lappy either a late birthday/early Christmas or just a present to myself, which it is I suppose. :D

I have been walking Gracie as usual to-day.

My Dad is going to Brighton Hospital tomorrow afternoon to have an operation to do with his kidneys. Mum is going with him and staying in Brighton. All being well he should be out and back home sometime on Tuesday. I have to stay here and look after Gracie whilst this is happening. I will keep you updated. Also once he has this operation he should feel better than he does now.

Thanks LittleJay.
Arc, I had installed it earlier but due to lack of video driver support for Windows 8 x64, I switched back to Windows 7. 'I finally found the driver so installed Win8 again. :D

Just been doing some business assignments today, and need to get out with some friends soon, starting to get fed up being in the house!

Good plan, Harry.

Learning to pace myself with workouts, bicycling, dog park, beach, travel has been how I've avoided burnout for 3+ years here.

Physical exhaustion is much more rewarding and regenerating than mental, although the brain exercise has completely rehabbed my brain banishing all memory problems.
 
Since two days back home after my trip to my native Finland, to say Farewell to my dear mother.

The trip was emotionally difficult as if I had heavy weights on my shoulders. Even more difficult because the health situation of my ailing mother-in-law forced Angie to stay home. Originally we had planned to cross the Baltic Sea together (we needed to take so much stuff back from Finland we had to go with car and ferry instead of flying).

Angie's mother's situation caused first change in plans. I drove to ferry and crossed Baltic Sea alone, Angie was supposed to fly Saturday morning to funeral and Sunday back, leaving me to return alone with car. Then two days prior to the funeral Mutti's (German nick for mother, meaning here my mother-in-law) situation turned worse and in a "phone conference" we decided it was better Angie stayed by her mother, so I was representing our family alone.

The most difficult, heaviest duty of my life, carrying my mother from the church to the cemetery, accompanied by my sister:

IMG_2177.jpg

A detail from the memorial:

IMG_2264.jpg

I loved the way my sister had made this. Two photos showing my mother with her last great-grandson, son of the oldest son of my sister and the other picture showing mother in her sea scouts uniform, wooden spoon in front symbolizing the countless camps she volunteered as a camp cook. Flag of Finland on right, on left the coat of arms of region of Karelia where mother was born, the part of Finland we lost for Russians in last world war. And, of course, some of the several hundreds of Angels my mother collected.

If you are not a seafare enthusiast you can stop reading now ;).

Although it was quite difficult for me to be on the road alone without Angie, I enjoyed my both Baltic Sea crossings. About 30 hours from Lübeck Germany to Helsinki Finland, the same on my way back home. As a sailing / seafare / ship geek, I especially enjoy doing these trips on cargo ships or as now on so called RoRo-ships. They are mainly for transporting trucks, trailers and containers over the Baltic but can also take about 30 cars and passengers in them, so total passenger capacity including truck drivers is about 300 passengers.

A photo of aft deck I took on my way up north to Finland to explain a bit more. You can clearly see tightly loaded trailers, mostly fruits and vegetables from Southern Europe on their way to supermarkets in Finland:

20121107_005.jpg

These RoRo ferries have a total of about 4.5 kilometers, a bit under 3 miles long lanes for trucks and / or trailers. When loaded, one truck-trailer combo needs about 25 meters, so the ship can take about 180 trucks with a trailer. Additionally, as I mentioned, about 30 cars or vans. Both ferries I sailed this time were sisters. Length 218 meters (716 feet), breath 31 meters (102 feet), depth 7 meters (23 feet), 42,923 gross register metric tons, top speed 25 knots.

A photo of a 1:150 model I found on port terminal shows the idea of RoRo ship better than my words:

Not too sure what to say Kari, except my sincere condolences. I lost my mother when I was just 17 years of age so I know how upsetting it is.

Hope you are ok

Paul.
