From this Saturday my area has to return to a more strict demi-lockdown (tier 2). Numbers are rising and London (which I am on the very outskirts of) will have rules stopping anyone from meeting indoors - that means in someone's house, a restaurant or a pub.  Up to 6 people can meet in the garden or outside. So the lunch I had arranged with a ( Read more... )

I've been so confused this week because we had the Bank Holiday on Monday and most of the week I've not actually known what day it was :)

We've finally got some wintery weather and here in the South East of England we've had some snow.  Only about 2-3cm (around an inch), but it looks very pretty.  It's thawing quickly though. Back in November there were dire warnings of the 'coldest winter for years' and 'three weeks of snow' which of course never materialised, and was annoying as Mr ( Read more... )

It's been a sad week, but I'm not going to dwell on that because I can't change it.

For me it's been a productive week:

• I've made a stained glass suncatcher for the upstairs bathroom (nearly finished, but needs some work, I'll post photos over the weekend)
• I've re-covered the top of an old blanket chest I've had for years and now it is a handy ( Read more... )

Mr Cee took the day off today and we travelled up to London to see the new Star Wars exhibit at Madame Tussauds.  I took my compact camera as it copes well with low light without me fiddling with it, so under the cut are some photos.... but I have to share this one above the cut because the modelling was really impressive:

I've sorted out my photos so I am spamming you with them, but first:

I like this meme so I'm going to post about it I think:

Back in the day (before Windows 8.1) when you bought a new computer and wanted to transfer settings and files from your old computer to your new one, all you needed to do was to find a handy little application called Windows Easy Transfer, identify which was the 'old' computer and which one was the new one, and then wirelessly all the stuff would ( Read more... )

In case anyone is interested here is my entry for monthlydiaryday.

My 12th was  lazy which is fairly unusual, but it was that horribly drizzly rain all day that doesn't look very heavy, but if you go out in it you get soaked within 10 minutes.  I took one look and decided to stay in!

Which was good as on Friday I was sent some assignments to look over as part ( Read more... )
