Daffy's 'a nice cup of tea cheers you up' diary

Cheery_Daff

I was wondering about not licking bowls too cherisong :rotfl: I never did grow out of it Although haven't quite gone to the lengths of my sister, who used to make cake mix purely to eat - with no intention of baking any of it :eek:

So - In the last hour I've rewritten more than half of Chapter 8 :T Just goes to show what you can do when you put your mind to it - there really isn't that much to be done, just some reorganisation and some rewriting of bits and new introductions/conclusions etc. Kind of wonder what I've been faffing about at all day really :rotfl:

I also remembered something from MG's course - about working more effectively at the beginnings and ends of study sessions - which is why she recommends lots of breaks - lots of beginnings and ends... The last couple of days have just morphed into one long session of being sat in front of the computer not doing very much - just like I used to do in the bad old days - so tomorrow I'm going to get out of that, and sit down for a set amount of time, then stop for a proper break. I *know* I work more effectively like that!

But now I'd best go and have a shower, not had one since Monday night (well, there's only been me here, and it's too cold to get undressed :rotfl:)...

Hello hello

Just catching up on the lasst couple of days. I do like the snow but problem is I live about 30 mins walk from work so if it snows it just means I can't ride my bike to work and have to slip slide my way in instead

Sounds like you're doing well on phd stuff! Keep up the good work!

Well done on getting stuck into chapter 8! Hope Mr Daffs made it home OK and you had a nice cosy night

Hope you made it in Makeup!

Thanks Squizz, and beanielou Yes, he made it home, and we had a cozy night in watching Colditz Sun's out and it's a gorgeous day here today, off to the post office in a minute WIll take some more snowy pics too :j :j

(and shhhh, but it might just be warming up a little, the snow has started dripping from the roof....)

Aw nice

As long as it's just the snow coming off the roof - our gutter fell off yesterday!

There are some amazing icicles out there, would make some great pics

Then you need to take some great pics, and then come and join our photo challenge thread Squizz!

*waves at Daffs* Glad Mr D made it home last night OK - Bet he was freezing when he got in!

There were a few dangerous looking icicles out on the shops this morning - :eek:

Didn't manage to take any pics though

However, I'm having a rather frustrating afternoon for reasons best not gone into on here, so am planning a little walk in the sunshine, and I'll take my camera and go the pretty way

I was planning to get to a certain stage of work first, but I'm so wound up that I think it'd be more productive to walk it off, then come back a bit more relaxed! Back downstairs to put my shoes on then...

redsquirrel80

Oh dear, hope the walk helps - have a good stomp!

I have taken some photos of the snow, none of the icicles yet.. I might pop one or two on the photo thread (which I hadn't spotted before, so thanks EH!)

Cheery_Daff

Now then.

Been for a nice walk, but missed the best of the sunshine sadly, so my photos are all a bit dreary Did take a couple of close up ones of roses entirely encased in ice in the garden - and we seem to have the world's biggest icicle hanging over our front door (which I'd not noticed before - we use the back door!), so will try to get a picture of that tomorrow.

Signed up to photobucket, but still don't seem to be able to get photos on the forum - any clues as to what I'm doing wrong??
