    Don't get me started on the sustainability issues of an economy based on consumerism... it's probably not what ANYONE needs at this time in the morning!

    No flying done yet this week... barely keepin up with work. Actually... I think I've loaded/unloaded the DW and reloaded it. And I've done a bit of cooking. I need to clean the fridge today and then go food shopping as I'm pretty much out of everything except lentils.
