Have spent the whole day designing! Decided this morning that the Elfin Diary site needed a spruce-up before the shop site opens and next year’s Diaries go on sale. Didn’t ask Caroline about it, and haven’t heard what she thinks of it. But even if she hates it and tells me to put it back […]

So we’ve had a houseful of guests this weekend. Lots of food, lots of talk – and drink was taken! Naturally, no work was done. B’s had a bad back for several days, meaning I’ve been doing lots of running around, resulting in an extremely complaining knee. Which at least gave the two of us […]
So, the other day I was enjoying a cup of tea and a biscuit in front of the computer. I had just bitten into the biscuit (a nicely crunchy ginger one) when the phone rang; I put the half-eaten comestible down on the desk while I dealt with the call. Ten minutes later, phone call […]
….same as the old boss? I don’t generally write about politics – it’s too easy to take up an entrenched position that you can’t move out of. Much easier to watch everything, say nowt on the subject and keep your options open. But here in the UK, we’ve come to the end of a pretty […]
In case I haven’t mentioned it before, I’m to be a granny again. This one will be my fourth, and is expected around Christmas.
OK, I don’t post much these days. I spend a lot of time (probably too much time) reading blogs, articles, Twitter and Facebook – I like keeping up with the news. And I haven’t much real work to get on with – heck, no paying work at all right now. Plus my health ain’t that […]

Taking care not to awake B, I tried the usual physical manoeuvres – holding my breath, scrunching up my thoracic muscles – but […]
Just spent half an hour looking back through my blog entries, all the way back to January 2004. I hadn’t realised this blog was so old. I actually started writing a blog sometime in 2000, in Open Diary, a predecessor to Blogger and LiveJournal. (I’ve still got those old posts around somewhere – perhaps I […]
I wish I could get more of a focus in my working life. I’ve got some web design projects I want to get on with, but can’t decide which to get on with properly. I start one, then decide I want to do something else for a while, then I find some interesting web page […]
So. Yesterday was my birthday, when I hit the Big One (count the candles on my cake and multiply by 10). And I aren’t ded yet! The day before (Sunday), Daughter no.2 and her husband came up, laden with prezzies, wine and a birthday cake – made by Daughter’s fair hands! A good day was […]
