The Hotel of your dreams

stand87 @stand87 (664) • Bulgaria 23 Jan 10

Hi, mylotter! How will the hotel of your dreams look like if you have the opportunity to build it? Or maybe you already visited the hotel of your dreams? I dream about a music hotel. The rooms will be in the style of somebody....

Taken in by a stick insect.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 5 Jan 10

Sometimes at night I've noticed small stick like insects stuck onto the outside of the mosquito blind but never noticed any in daylight. This afternoon I saw what I presumed was a long olive stick attached to my wooden balcony...

Culture shock.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 8 Jan 10

Even if you're just an armchair traveller you may have been surprised when seeing the news, or reading about, the different cultures in foreign climes. You may even have run into a few in real life. What do you think would be...

I hate to see things go to waste so suggestions for my surplus please.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 31 Dec 09

Surplus oranges. I have a house full of them and really can't face another jar of marmalade just yet. Or re-phrased I've run out of jars temporarily. So I want to use up the many at hand and there will be plenty more on the trees...

Mylotters have writers souls

Allie_xoxo @Allie_xoxo (1063) • Canada 30 Dec 09

Being on here is refreshing I've noticed. To be in the presence of people who actually have something worthwhile to tell the world and just cant help themselves, they have to have an outlet for all these thoughts, emotions and...

Burnt Sugar.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 26 Dec 09

Any ideas how to remove this black burnt mess from the bottom of my large stainless steel pan. I've soaked it and scrubbed it and followed Sandra's advice of boiling it on the hob with water and washing up liquid in it. The...

Did you think of checking your post number?

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 23 Dec 09

Amidst yesterdays insanity it never once occured to me to check the number of posts I made between start and finish so am clueless today if it was the same as it was when I signed out yesterday. My inbox was clogged with so many...

katerina Hi lina, i see you've received a certain new strain of fly there which I sent over specially to breed and annoy. Did you realise it was a Greek fly. They are bold and land on people and things and are generally too fast for a fly swatter. As your arms are...

How many times have you heard that or said that when someone is desperately searching round for their glasses which are no where to be found? Unbelievably this morning I found myself in a similar situation. Clothes laid out...

It wasn't like the holiday after all.

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 8 Dec 09

cloudwatcher I'm sorry. I didn't mean to come across as "nice." I was simply offering a way to control the amount of time spent here. I am really a very selfish person. I do the work I do because I love it so much! Go ahead and yell at me if you like. I wouldn't...
