I'm not dead! I've just fallen into a black hole of facebook and having no mental energy to write anything of substance. I get angry with myself if I'm not DOING something - and writing about stuff I want to do, or stuff I've done, well, it doesn't quite feel like I'm doing something. Work is great, but busy. I'm also keeping myself busy - every ( Read more... )

Busy weekend. Went over to visit Mum. It's just been generally busy ( Read more... )

March is, or was, a total write-off. It's the busiest month of the year, at work, and I have been absolutely flat stick for about 6 weeks. My attention span for talking about everything has been reduced to nothing, almost. But it's coming back. I'm on holidays! For a week and a bit ( Read more... )

Also got some nice seafoam/minty green towels for the mermaid bathroom at half price - I now have two sets of towels in the perfect colours and I can get rid of some of my old ones which were ruined with ( Read more... )

All I have done today is cook. I've made (and iced) a red velvet cake, a double batch of crunchy peanut slice, 20 individual serves of broken glass (cubes of jelly in a gelatinous cream/condensed milk concoction), smoked chicken cheesecake, tomato and cannellini bean salad, pasta salad, lamb burgers, and probably something else I have forgotten ( Read more... )

Red Velvet Cake is in the oven and I'm still in my pyjamas. So far, so good.
