Skippety skip
It's such a lovely late autumn day here that I'm going to go out for a stroll down to the market for a browse. If nothing else, I'll stock up on some fruit and vegetables and crunch over some large mounds of dried leaves. It's been very windy here the last couple of days so the deciduous trees have suddenly lost most of their leaves ( Read more... ) -
Happiness is...
As seen on many other journals:
Post 10 things that are going right in your life right now. I don't care how small. You're happy with your cup of coffee. You saw a flock of geese flying over. ANYTHING. Things that make you happy. Things that make you smile. No pressure.
1. I'm having lots of fun playing Peggle Nights, having discovered Peggle ( Read more... ) -
Grrr
Tracey from the family-from-hell across the road has just reversed into our car, making it shake so that David noticed from an upstairs window, and then driven away without stopping. Lovely. David has been to inspect the car and there's a small scratch that may well have already been there so it's hardly noteworthy apart from the fact that it's ( Read more... ) -
Picture meme
The meme is:
Take a picture of yourself right now.
Don't change your clothes. Don't fix your hair. Just take a picture.
Post that picture with no editing.
Post these instructions with your picture.

Random assortment aka brain dump
- Roisin didn't have her school sweatshirt when she was collected yesterday. David went back in to look for it with her, but it was nowhere to be found. The assumption is that one of the other children picked it up after PE and I'm hoping it'll turn up in the lost property box at the end of the week, having been returned by a parent/carer.
- I do ( Read more... )

Ah, internet access again
Oh, the joy. We have broadband internet again after having nothing since Friday. I have had LJ withdrawal symptoms! It's so strange not being able to just Google things, too. We do have a reasonable collection of reference books at home but some much stuff I want to know I rely on the net for.
If I've missed anything, let me know! -
A week in books
I'm reading a very enjoyable historical crime novel at the moment, The Death Maze by Ariana Franklin. It's the second in a series featuring Adelia Aguilar, a graduate of the School of Medicine in Salerno, set in 12th century England. I haven't read the first one but it doesn't make any difference, it's easy to get the background. Interestingly, I' ( Read more... ) -

Earthquake
Earthquake last night was apparently felt as far up as Newcastle. Didn't notice a thing. A straw poll of customers through our door today revealed one person who'd felt anything, nobody else noticed anything. -
Dinner
It's been a long time since I've had lasagne. I don't eat lasagne unless it's all homemade, which in practice means that it's my own, my mother's or my grandmother's, and of those three I think I like my mother's best. But now I want to eat lasagne, so I think that's dinner decided for tonight. Now I must just go get the ingredients as I'm out of ( Read more... )
