Saved by the Meme

Thanks to Gemmak who posted this, for saving me having to think up something to write about today. I have Holiday Part III all ready to go with pictures and everything, and then when I tried to upload the pics to my webspace last night I discovered my hosting servers were down for the duration *grr*. Of course they’re up and running again this morning, but I’, at work. I’ll try again tonight.
