Just when I thought things were settling back to normal after two “one of those days” I encountered the dreaded…
…500 – Internal server error.
Followed by this alarming briefing when I got to work. Normal service seems to be resumed on my blog, although I have not received any communication on what the problem was.
Due to pressure from my blog friends, I have uploaded some Christmas header pictures. I think for one reason or another we all need them today…
Things in perspective

Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week
Last Sunday I finally came to the end of my original 52 thoughts for the week, so from now on my thought for the week will be picked according to my mood on the day. In time I will get around to a post with links to all the discussions, so they can be seen in one place. But for now I will leave you with this weeks thought…
Life can only be understood backwards,
but it must be lived forwards.

Following on from Thursday it seems that my spate of minor irritations are not quite over.
The boys had decided they were having a Napoleonic campaign on my living room carpet which meant I either had to go out or be consigned to the upstairs of the house.
I thought a slow morning and a lie in might be in order and I left instructions for people to arrive quietly. I was woken up by an early morning doorbell going off… So I read my book for while and then went out for my hair appointment then called back home for some lunch. The campaign was still going strong so I read my book for a little bit longer and then went out to a couple of stationary stores.
Whilst I was out I nearly got knocked over by a car!! I was walking across a zebra crossing when a car on the opposite side slowed down and then suddenly sped up onto the crossing. Luckily my spider senses were tingling and I was able to step back quickly before he hit me. The driver looking extremely shocked, but not half as shocked as me. He had missed me by millimeters.
When I got back the campaign was still going on and my evening meal was severely delayed because they didn’t leave until 7.30. Now I am on my lap top enjoying my lounge 
Hopefully that is the last of the irritations…

HMS Ocelot is situated at the Historic Dockyard, Chatham. If you ever visit the dockyard it is well worth joining one of the guided tours of the submarine.
HM Submarine Ocelot was the last warship built for the Royal Navy at Chatham Dockyard. An ‘O’ Class diesel electric submarine, she was launched in 1962 and saw service with Royal Navy throughout the height of the Cold War until she paid off in 1991. A normal sized crew would consist of 69 submariners, although she could carry a maximum of 80.
