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 […]

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 […]
From somewhere, I could hear the lion’s swift trot, its pads slapping on the floor – pad-pad-pad-pad….. …..I awoke to the familiar dub-dub-dub-dub of my heart in full 200bpm SV tachycardia mode. Taking care not to awake B, I tried the usual physical manoeuvres – holding my breath, scrunching up my thoracic muscles – but […]
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 […]
Whilst somewhat gloomily contemplating the fact that I’ll be collecting my bus pass next month, I read a message from Son on Facebook. Earlier he had posted a Youtube link to his current favourite bit of music. I posted back that I liked it and would be “stealing it for my iPod”. Son has just […]
So yesterday we ventured out – far, far out. WE had to collect a laser printer from Rochdale. It had already been waiting a week, it was desperately needed for a printing job (our current printer having turned up its toes in the middle of it); the seller refused to pack it so that our […]
I won’t be getting paid as soon as I thought, so all that lovely Yule spending is off. Botheration. No camera, no new whizzy-fast computer. And no prezzies for anyone. (Not that I could have afforded to match the iPhone that Grandchild no.2 received for her birthday last Tuesday – but sending her a gift […]
Yes, it appears to have stopped raining. For now. And we’ve actually had some sunshine today. We’ll see how long it lasts. Hm. I’ve started feeling optimistic and unwontedly happy lately, with a feeling that something nice is coming my way. I know I have a chunk of money due to me, but it’s more […]
