Wot I Did on my (Non)Hols….

By Val | Published: March 29, 2009
….I completely redesigned the front end of this website. I spent a couple of days beforehand cruising around web-designers’ websites, putting myself in the place of a potential customer and noting what worked and what didn’t (tip no.1: don’t boast about how your sites are correctly coded and conform to web standards, and [...]

By Val | Published: March 15, 2009
This site will probably be offline for a few days from tomorrow (Monday); the hosting fee is due and I haven’t yet found the dosh. However, it will only be a temporary interruption – a fortnight at the most. Byeee!

Feeling Quite Happy…

By Val | Published: March 14, 2009
I’m getting more involved in Facebook – I’m now in the networks of two daughters and a son-in-law. Nice to be able to keep up with family like this. For the last 24 hours, I’ve had a headache. It’s much better now, but was pretty bad yesterday. I had the spend the day [...]

Not busy enuf….

By Val | Published: March 12, 2009
On the other hand…. I’m wishing I had work to do. Not just for the money – nice as that would be – but I’m felling a bit purposeless right now with no deadline to work towards, no definite project to complete. Yesterday, I spotted an item about Zodiac-themed songs; I instantly thought, “Perfect! [...]

Busy….

Well, B got my camera working, more or less. The problem was that the lens wouldn’t come out; he thumped it for a bit and it got unstuck. The lens now won’t go back in again, but at least I can take piccies again. We’ve not bought a car yet. But we’ve [...]

Success!

By Val | Published: March 8, 2009
I don’t do much in the way of cooking for myself – I normally just chuck some veggies in the steamer (I can forget about them and they won’t go on fire) and do some quick stir-fried mushrooms or tofu on the stovetop. But I do like baking my own bread, and I think [...]

Mystery….

By Val | Published: March 5, 2009
A parcel arrived this morning for me. Large and lumpy, covered in silver wrapping paper and marked “!!Not to be opened before March 8th!!”. It’s vaguely handbag-shaped. But it’s from Daughter no.2, who knows I don’t Do Handbags. I shall hide it away at the top of some inaccessible cupboard. And do [...]
