We shouldn't complain about the heat, given the alternative is rain, and I'm really not averse to blue skies and sunshine, just wish it wasn't quite so warm (30 degrees in my room most days, even with the window and fan on) because the heat doesn't seem to suit my health, so I have done very little this past week in favour of zoming out, napping or ( Read more... )

I managed some bouncing in town last Monday- didn't really feel too well but I was determined to get out and *do* something, still owe myself a nice lunch at Brasco Lounge followed by a walk by the river but that didn't appeal so I grabbed my trusty trundle and headed to the top end of town for some chocolate shopping. I love Aldi's cheapy praline ( Read more... )

Oh, I'm in love with my Nexus 7! It turned up bright and early on Monday last and I've not been able to keep my paws off it since, though not been very productive with it thus far, despite installing Wordpress, an office suite, a notes app and the like. And of course amazon cloud and kindle etc ( Read more... )

Ahh, my cold is *finally* gone, well, apart from the odd coughing bout but overall I'm doing much better, though I ended up not going out this week - was planning to wander by the river and maybe have lunch out yesterday but it was a little too warm for comfort for me, and although it would have been nice I wasn't desparate to go out. As it happens ( Read more... )

Urgh, I don't mind not updating LJ cos I'm too busy having fun but its less good when the reason is being icky and ill with a very nasty cold. Which has been the case for the last ten days or so, most frustrating! In fact I've hardly done anything at all apart from coughing and snuffling and producing enough snot for a paddling pool if not worse, ( Read more... )

Watching the show alone, naff. Happily snarking with friends on Facebook, brilliant! :) And I quite like the winning song from Denmark, even if Romania's falsetto vampire was more fun!

Wednesday morning started with a text message discussion on where to meet up after several ideas had been mooted the previous evening. DC had read about an independent coffee shop on Bold Street, and there's plenty of good places for food along there so I headed down around lunch time, by taxi this time, the top end of Bold Street is too much ( Read more... )

At the start of the month I was lucky enough to have a tanngrisnir visiting. I invited him down to Liverpool for a few days, though I was a bit cheeky and asked him to stay in a hotel as mum's health is up and down right now and she couldn't really cope with an extra body in the house, no matter how nice (and DC is very nice, after all ( Read more... )

Yes, yes, still overdue on the bouncy post about my visitor, I got distracted again.Well, still quite tired but by late Saturday I was finally feeling more human and a bit creative, so instead of doing said post as planned got round to the doll blog I've been promising myself I'd work on for the past couple of years. I've been chatting to the owner ( Read more... )

Ohhh, I had *such* fun last week when tanngrisnir came to visit for a few days, much wandering and munching and chatting and I have completely drained my energies such that a week later I am still quite splat. Consider this a placeholder for the long post with pics I intend to write (and, er, was going to write tonight til I got distracted looking at dolls ( Read more... )
