We have just had the septic tank emptied at work, and I am leaving my lunch until the smell fades ( Read more... )

I'm having such a lovely day! I was rather dreading my birthday this year after the mess of the last, but I decided to pull myself together ( Read more... )

I've got a hole in my knee. For about the first time in my life I can genuinely say I have a sports injury! The netball match on Sunday (50-14 to the Jets, thank you very much. I think our hot pink lycra uniform distracted them) was enormous fun, and for me I was doing pretty well, until I did a nose dive (knee dive?) ten minutes into the second ( Read more... )

I did gut the fish (thinking that if Susan Walker can do it on an island with a penknife, I should probably manage it in a kitchen with a sharp knife). It wasn't nearly as messy and unpleasent as I expected, probably because it was only a mackerel without many innerds. I don't think I'd want to have a go at a salmon or a large trout.

I'm sitting here hoping that I'll get a text to say that netball is cancelled because of the gale blowing outside.

Multiple power cuts yesterday - highly frustrating as I was working from home and thus lost half a days work, and concequently half a days pay! Luckily I had saved just before the power went out, so I didn't lose any of the completed work. Unless I do a few hours this evening and later in the week to make up. And stay away from the internet for ( Read more... )

Went trampolining last week as part of my attempt to Get A Life (tm). Netball has finished for the summer (almost - am wracked with guilt about missing the last match of the summer league so I can go to Bath with my mate Jamie, although I am not a particularly good player so the Jets are probably better off without me. Anyhow, I digress...) and ( Read more... )
