Evening all

This housework lark is harder work than it looks. I'm all out of breath and I've strained something in my shoulder from vacuuming the lounge. I need a rest!

Just been reading back on the conversation about Scotland and couldn't help wondering.....why exactly DID you decide to leave Scotland, zenny?

Frankly, no. I absolutely hate it when they vandalize and burn our beautiful capital city. One of the oldest movie theatres was burned this time. Mr. Stirly and I used to go to it all the time. He'd gone to flicks there since he was a youngster. I'm fed up with all of this shite and the politicians and all the arses who have ruined this country's economy and especially with those who are bound and bent on pushing it even further down until we declare bankruptcy and go back to the drachma. I don't know much about economics but it seems that it would be very difficult for us to go back to the drachma. Especially as far as importing things from other countries goes. We could be self-sustaining to a certain percent but many things would have to be imported and with the drachma lower than other currencies, things like fuel which is already expensive would be even more so and would push the cost of everything else up. Maybe Reccie who's is very knowledgeable about these matters could shed a better light on it. And to borrow the bailout money we have to adhere to the restrictions leveled by the countries lending us the money and the Greek people are simply not willing to accept the restrictions - especially the ones that require the number of public servants to be lowered and wages and pensions to be slashed. It would mean very hard times ahead for the middle and lower income families either way, I'm afraid. Just a shite situation all round. Then to top it off we've got the fecking vandals who set 45 fires yesterday after looting the stores. Here's a picture of the building that housed the theater



And this is what it was reduced to.



A neo-classical building that was renovated some years ago and was considered one of the most beautiful film theatres in the city. It breaks my heart to see pictures of things like this. Many stores were looted and burned and the owners say they will not re-open this time. So they lose their business and their employees lose their jobs. Feck, feck, feck.

Hiya Reccie!! Actually, I hate housework and my two main banes are vacuuming and ironing. Vacuuming because it strains my back (all vacuums were made for people much shorter than I am. And ironing because it's fecking boring. Hate changing the sheets for the same reason as vacuuming - strain on the back.
