The well laid plans of mice, men and Carm oft do go astray…..as the saying goes.

I had the first part of this week planned so well as the last part of this week will be taken up by the first cricket test for the Australian cricket season and I’m lucky to live in the city where the first test is played each year.

And so……the first ball of the first test is a special occasions for us cricket fans.   For those of you who don’t know what cricket is, just Google it.  That ball is bowled at 10am on Thursday November 20th 2008 at the wonderful Gabba in sunny Brisbane, well I’m hoping it will be sunny Brissy as it hasn’t shone much in the  last few days. We have some folk here who received incredible damage to their homes after a very bad ‘storm’ on Sunday.  My heart goes out to them, It is hard to imagine how I would feel in the same circumstances.

Now for my well laid plans, Monday was going to be a ‘cruisie’ day,my first task was to install a website I plan to put up for auction onto my reseller hosting account.  Easy stuff…….NOT!

Not sure what happened but downloaded the latest WordPress version, uploaded it ready to install the new site and got all these errors, deleted it all and started again, same thing.  I did the >turn computer off and on and start again, get rid of the cache etc, etc<, you know all those things but to no avail.

To cut a long story short, every attempt was similar.  So gave it away for a while and went out shopping for my son’s birthday present, I had his wish list and after four shops telling me whatever I asked for would be in next week, I gave up on that too and came home.

Two tasks down and two tasks bombed.

I think the gremlins were after me or Darby O’Gill and his little people were at play.  So spent the afternoon in the garden and left it all to yesterday.

Had a luncheon to go to and before I went, found another version of the WordPress I was trying to install, uploaded it, all fine, installed the site no problems.  After the luncheon, went to another part of the Mall and first store got everything I wanted for my son’s birthday and all in less than a half hour.

So when the vibes are right, all’s well with Carm’s world as long as Darby O’Gill and his little people are playing somewhere else.

Now I’m off shopping again, food this time, hope the vibes are with me as I don’t want to go back food shopping tomorrow night after the cricket.

Love you and leave you, be back soon, take care

Carmel

PS May the vibes be with me! and you too!
