writerconuk kicked off well the quiz was fiendish courtesy of yours truly. There were some errors in marking but in the end two of the three teams tied for first and the runner ups weren't far behind ( Read more... )

Busy morning so far in that I have ordered a new iPhone 8 (wooot!).  Exciting stuff, but I have to wait until next weekend to play with it and we're away for the weekend so I won't be able to play with it until Sunday *pouts*

I am going by train to writerconuk, and unfortunately as last year (where there was a massive landslide on the line!) there are issues ( Read more... )

It's been a frustrating weekend because on the way home from Pilates on Friday managed to fall down and hurt myself! I was walking round to a local retail park near where the class is held in the pouring rain and in my haste I slipped on some cobbles and wrenched my right ankle landing on my left knee. I was more worried about the knee at the time ( Read more... )

We had an offer of a new hub today for our Wifi network. I suspect this is because the previous hub was shown to have some serious security flaws, however - never one to turn down new tech we said 'yes please' and it was delivered today. Of course I had to wait in all day for it which was annoying but it arrived just before lunch. I have spent the ( Read more... )

It's pouring with rain and quite miserable. So I thought I'd update the reading meme - the last time was here.  Since then I've read a few more books - details under the cut.

Do you keep a journal? what do you write/draw/ in it?Ha! Yes I do keep a journal which is called Livejournal. Yes I do update it fairly regularly and I used to post arty stuff as well. My main regret is that there are fewer people here than there used to be, and most of them are currently moaning on Facebook about how they loved Lj but only one ( Read more... )

My writerconuk weekend started on Friday as I set off to the railway station.  Mr Cee was working at home so I got a lift down to the station which was useful as there was torrential rain following a week of glorious very unseasonal sunshine and heat (I'd had to completely rethink what clothes I was taking with me!).  I made my way up to London by catching an ( Read more... )

Did you miss me?

As usual the writerconuk weekend was incredibly good fun!  We learned new stuff, laughed a LOT and met new people (four new recruits this year!).  There were 23 of us which was lovely as it meant there was time to talk to everyone and sit with different people at breakfast, lunch, dinner and in the chill out area ( Read more... )

I've been looking back at the writerconuk get togethers that have gone on over the years as I've been designing the programme for this 10th anniversary year. For a small group, we've managed to have some fun meet ups and these can be summarised:

- Nottingham Novotel - Minimeet 2006
- Highgate Cemetery, London: 2006
- Nottingham Novotel-Minimeet 2007
- London ( Read more... )
