not dead :-)
I know I'm not very communicative lately. Short posts and shared photos on Facebook are about my limit these days. No energy, and fibrofog. I get home from work and it's about as much as I can handle to watch some tv and putter about on FB ( Read more... ) -
Not a Recommendation
If anyone is looking for new double glazed windows, can I please NOT recommend Penicuik Double Glazing ( Read more... ) -
oh dear,
looks like FB is down again.
I remember when some of us migrated to DW and FB because LJ was always falling over. -
hello stranger!
Still around, still reading, not posting much here - in fact I just realised that since I set up my new laptop I haven't got around to downloading a decent DW/LJ client, so I'm having to do this via the web site.

my Highland adventure
And quite an adventure it was. I had the last week of July booked as annual leave but no plans to go away - and not enough money to go far if I did - so when the RZSS announced that one of the Scottish Wildcats in teh Highland Wildlife Park had kittens (three kittens) and then that a pair of Snow Leopards had been moved there from another ( Read more... ) -

However I have a new heart shaped baking pan (spring-form) and a set of 'money' cookie cutters ( Read more... ) -
you are no one until you've been ignored by a cat...
Dakota kitty is currently not talking to me. There is a reason for this, however - I did a horrible horrible thing to a poor kitty .... I clipped his claws!!!!That cat really really dislikes manicures. As soon as you start - oh, heck, as soon as he sees the claw trimmer tool - he starts to tell the world how cruel and awful those nasty humans are ( Read more... ) -
good customer service
I was looking for some "crop top" style bras for weekends and travelling - no underwires, pull on, no fastenings, comfy, supportive - and found some offered on Amazon (marketplace) from Haines at a very reasonable price, especially considering they were being shipped from the US. Twin packs, two colours in each pack ( Read more... ) -
Pirates!
I really wanted to see Mirror Mirror this weekend, but that doesn't open till Monday 2nd, so Tara and I went to see the new Aardman Pirates: an adventure with scientists last night. It was an excellent choice - a definite "Laugh out Loud" movie. The audience for the showing we were at was suprisingly small - theatre was more than half empty - but ( Read more... )
