Monday Picspam Requirement
I finally got my internet back last Wednesday night, luckily just in time for my first Job 2 online meeting the next day - and then another one on Saturday. Phew... But of course the meetings didn't leave much time for anything else then, and in between of course life has been happening...
On Sunday I treated myself to a metal detecting group dig, because there's only one more weekend after this before I'll be working all weekends until mid-July - which ended up moving location because 2/3 of the first fields were covered in "green manure", which is farm waste used as manure, the problem being that it's full of crushed up metal as much as anything else... So there was a big (kind of fun!) convoy of detectorists to a different set of fields - only I somehow had even fewer signals there! I wasn't the only one, lots of people gave up and went home, and finally I did too, although mostly because I'd managed somehow to give myself a lactose headache which was getting worse. So what happened? One of the guys who stayed found a wee hoard of bronze age tools... *headdesk headdesk headdesk* Not that I'm likely to have found them, but it would have been nice to still be there... Hey-ho. I came home and managed to catch up on a few chores anyway.
And the bright side of all this? Having been up early for meetings and detecting, I was so knackered last night that I was in bed with the light out by about 11pm, and awake at 6.30am this morning, all set for a nice early start to work.
been anywhere to lose it - how was it possible? But it wasn't anywhere... Tore apart the sofa, the bedroom, I even looked in the freezer in case it had slipped out of my pocket when I was fixing a recalcitrant drawer and I hadn't noticed! Not there (thank goodness!) I still had my computer, so tried Skyping myself to find it - no joy, but it didn't seem to ring very long, and I couldn't wander around with it cos the battery tends to fail. WhatsApped a friend and asked her to phone me - no reply. Tore the house apart again. Finally spotted one of the farmers and he loaned me his phone to call me, so I could walk around with it - and success! The relief!!
It had somehow ended up in one of my storage boxes in the back of my closet-room, underneath other things which I'd been moving earlier. I'd even looked in that box twice and not seen it... *headdesk* I must have had it in one hand when I picked up a pile of bits to move, and put it down under them when I put them down, and... *headdesk headdesk headdesk*
All of which means - I'm not starting work early today after all, which means I will probably end up finishing it late and all... Gargh! Hence some serious-looking confront-the-world lads in my flist, because I really need to see them facing it down together and winning!
And because there's usually a lot of Bodie pics in our flists these days, and much fewer Doyle...
Our gorgeous Doyle *g*
So - how're you doing? (Is anyone still out there?!)
