It runs in the family

Daughter just phoned me from Plymouth wanting to know where she is.
Thank goodness for google maps.
'Is the railway line to the north or south?'
'It's to my left.'
'Well, you need to go down the map so make sure you're always walking downhill.'
She's my daughter all right.

I wonder why my apple tastes fishy. Not so much tastes as smells fishy.

Betty broke down this morning but at least she was kind enough to do it before I left home this time.

We've chosen a towel rail. £179. Last of the big spenders us. We've also chosen tiles and pretend tile flooring, which is nicer than it sounds. We haven't actually bought any of these yet as we didn't take any measurements with us.

You've never got a toad when you want one, have you?

And you're my mother! I was walking in the completely wrong direction. That is, the opposite direction. Inland.

Alma road must, I suppose, go both towards and away from the harbour, but after about half an hour I spotted a luminous-yellow man and asked him which way to the sea. He shook his head and said, 'Oooh, it's a long walk, you're better off catching a bus.'
'How long by foot?' said I.
'Well, it's about half an hour: you have to go back down this road, until you come to the train station, and then stay on it and you'll see signs for the city centre; ask again there.'

So precisely the way I had just come, then.

Never mind. After an hour walking up and down the dual carriageway I felt I had earned some Thorntons chocolate, and fortunately Plymouth has some. The harbour and shops were nice, although I didn't have long to admire them before starting the long walk back!!

My developer is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.

But he's tryiong none the less. I've been using Movable-type on numerous websites for about a
year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard very good things about blogengine.
net. Is there a way I can transfer all my wordpress content into it?

Any kind of help would be really appreciated!
