Some BBC news - better than US news, for sure

Those crazy Brits...

An interesting study on who has the best sex. "A study ... found couples with greater equality ... were more likely to enjoy their sex lives." Apparently Japan has the lowest ranking of "the good sex" while Austria has the highest ranking. An interesting passage:

"In 75% of the cases the men report always having an orgasm. With women only 26% say they always have one, although 45% of men believe their partners always have an orgasm."

That made me giggle a bit.

Also, Ms. gfrancie clued me in on this intriguing bit of history. I've never seen the UK personally, so it's neat to be able to see it in color from 80 years ago. It will make it that much more interesting when I do get to visit myself.

I taught myself how to crochet last night. Kind of. Except that apparently 27 stitches is supposed to be 7" long and 54 stitches is supposed to be 27" long (or something to that effect) and my 54-stitch chain is about 8.5" long. So, my crochet math skills leave much to be desired. I'll have to ask Kevin for help on making my holes looser and bigger. Heh. heheh. heh.

heh

Anyhoo, I was thinking that since they say blankets are good first projects, I'd try to make a baby blanket for Gary and Terryll. I have about 7 months to figure it out so if I stick with it, I should be able to complete a decent looking chunk of yarn.

Just spoken by me: "Oh my gahd, that's Mandy and Shaun!"

heh.

I am currently attempting to type up the programs and print them, but am a bit stumped on the "Letter to the guests" section. So I've been clicky-ing around and somehow landed on this site. The Red picture in the middle there? That's my cousin Mandy at her wedding last August!

That is all.
