Let Sleeping Blogs Die?

Just checking if the old keyboard still works. I kind of forgot how to do this...

The fart cafe

I got this shot from the bus window today. I've seen this name for cafes and bars a few times. One of my linguist friends here says it's from the word 'fartuna'- fortune. Anyone out there know any more?

How to feed your Gall Bladder

I never even knew that I had a gall bladder, I mean I know they exist in the human body, and so that like everybody else that I probably had one too, but I never wondered about where it is or tried to look for it and see how it was doing. Never, until last week when I was presented with excruciating evidence about the location of my gall bladder.
Now this is a self diagnosed problem which for the present is undergoing domestic treatment.


So here we have a salad so dietetic that I wish I could just go out and order a pizza... These ingredients are all from a gall bladder page on the web: grated beets, parsley, non-fat cottage cheese, radishes, lemons and linseed oil. On this diet I think my 6-pack will be difficult to conceal.

Free clean toilets

At the Odessa train station! Not at McDonalds either. Is a well kept secret that if you have a ticket you can use the toilet at the far end of platform 1 for free, saves you a few griven. But- there's no toilet paper. You should be carrying your own TP around with you anyway.
