When ...I think you are right about the resignation. When you can't change things you probably end up thinking s*d it, what difference will it make?

His car was already immaculate but he went for the full wax, polish and clean cycle so it was even more gleaming when it emerged. We couldn't understand why he bothered, but I guess some people just worship their cars....nappy valley girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10788949037047084412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-43612026877497354682009-03-31T03:34:00.000-07:002009-03-31T03:34:00.000-07:00The Bosnians are the same.

EVeryone just chucks everything out and it ruins everything. The parks, the rivers, their beautiful countryside. Drives me doolally (as my mother would say).<BR/><BR/>Great to have another Balkan/Mediterranean blogging mother. Albania and Bosnia don't seem that much different. I'm looking forward to reading more. xDorset Dispatcheshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10457466586411004146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6539171311271334164.post-46449657196411137982009-03-30T17:29:00.000-07:002009-03-30T17:29:00.000-07:00White winkle-picker wellies?
