Double-Stabbed!
Wahoo, I am now doubled jabbed for Covid! I brought my 2nd vacc appointment forward since, in the UK, we're being encouraged to get double-whammied as quickly as possible so you can get your 2nd jab from 8 weeks after your 1st rather than 12. I had the worst fever side effects to this 2nd one, though, I had none of this the first time around; I was ( Read more... ) -

Well, I've run out of time! And there’s only one Geoffrey sketch for me to post on this special day, a sketch of the role I love above all his others, the performance that drove me into a different leg of the trousers of time: it’s Francis Walsingham from Elizabeth (1998), of course! (One of my fellow Rushies, lovely apple4b, referred to me as “ ( Read more... ) -

I am having a massive sort out, particularly a book cull (and attempted DVD cull). I will definitely need to move house again soon and books were the worst thing to move last time, so damn heavy and I just have too many. I am pretty much giving up all my Discworld books, my Percy Jackson books and myriad others. There's some books I've had for 10 ( Read more... ) -
GR Sketch-a-thon: 11 and 12
Whoops, forgot to post my previous sketch here too so there's a double-whammy of sketches in this post! And I am soooo running out of time on this challenge of mine. I need to try to find time to do a sketch literally every other day to try to cover as many more roles as I can before July 6th... It's not looking promising.

Once again I have forgotten to update my journal!
Well, I've decided to take a break from writing for a week or two as my brain has imploded and needs a rest. I still have lots of ideas and drafts for my fic which has at times been all-consuming. I know where everything’s going but I think I need to just... not write for a little while. It'll help ( Read more... ) -

Accidentally tired myself out today when I wasn't full of energy to begin with - sorted my garden, lots of branches to trim, then went to the shops to get some fruit, veg and also get my garden birds more seed and to get a sheet to cover the boot of my car, then got home, loaded all 5 bags of garden waste into the car plus an old tv stand and the ( Read more... ) -
Holiday plans
I have recently come back from a few nights in Heacham near Hunstanton in NW Norfolk, had a great lil break doing lots of walking, bird watching, and reading my book on the beach.
Naturally, though, the first thing I thought about when I came back was "Hmm, so when am I going away again?" So today I booked lots of holiday dates in today at work and ( Read more... ) -

So UK lockdown rules have relaxed slightly from today. I'm not at work, but I have resolved not to go anywhere anyway as I dread how busy it’s likely to be. Also I'm waiting for a parcel which I was told could be delivered any time between 11:45 and 15:45 - as it's already nearly 3pm, I imagine the latter of that estimate is going to be correct. I ( Read more... ) -

I've started to follow a diet and exercise plan recently just to shed a few pounds that have piled up and try to tone up a bit and I am so hungry this week. After several days of probably being in a calorie deficit and managing to lose some weight, I'm having a takeaway tonight to undo my good work. Back to the plan tomorrow ( Read more... )
