I love my flip-flops =)
Yesterday, among other things, I cleaned the ink stains (some of which I am convinced came form Ruth's fountain-pen; no way did my biro leak that much-without me noticing, too!) off the cushion cover.  Today I cleaned the bathroom, made lunch and took the dog for a walk.  When did I return to being domesticated?  I've done ( Read more... )

There's a moose, a moose, in this hoose! Allegedly. David says he saw it, and Mummy just invested in a mousetrap. I keep imagining I can feel something running up my leg =) That's another disadvantage to living in an old house: the doors have big gaps under them, so if anything gets into the utility room it can get into the breakfast room and ( Read more... )

Today was slightly odd. I managed to do a little schoolwork that I had...does anyone know if critics feel obliged to write in special incomprehensible critical language? Becuase some of the sentences they fired out have sixteen clauses, half a dozen parentheses and a fair scattering of colons of both normal and semi variety. And while my own ( Read more... )

Sorry about all the backdated entries, by the way :)
Well, I now have a computer...officially called Aragorn because my twisted little brother decided to call him that without even taking his personality into consideration, but actually referred to as Elrond. As my sister said, "Don't you think you might be taking this a leetle too seriously ( Read more... )

Went to Lisburn and did the maneuvres, as well as some places on the outskirts we hadn't been before. Apparently I did one of the junctions better than the last six people he took there, and my road positioning is getting better, so if I can just avoid minor things like red lights and Stop signs I'll be fine ( Read more... )

Well, the new computer arrived yesterday, four days earlier than expected. I was out at Ash's so I haven't seen it yet, but I'm hoping it will turn out to be a Galadriel or an Elrond...couldn't bear another Turgon or Maeglin. Speaking of twisted, independent people, Fëanor has been relegated to the other room. At least this way if someone is on ( Read more... )

Yesterday morning we went to Bangor, had a two-minute appointment at the clinic and came back =) I hope I never have to drive up the Westlink or past the Odessey *shivers ( Read more... )

I just lost an enormous post through my own forgetfulness.  I HATE it when that happens, and I'm not doing it again, so it'll have to be the short version.

Today I spent most of the day organising photos.  Still very difficult, since they are extremely jumbled up, but Mummy bought two albums and I'm making progress.  Also baked a ginger sponge, ( Read more... )

I took a notion this afternoon to bake a treacle sponge, but unfortunately all the butter was in the freezer. Me being me, however, I insisted on making it anyway. With the frozen butter ( Read more... )
