Breaking Through, Travelling On

Karmacat

Thanks DD!

I found a sheet! Surprise surprise I didn't go for the cheapest polycotton either I went for 100% cotton, Egyptian if you please which cost me all of £14.60 at BHS :j

Had a pootle about the shops, which are splendiferous in that particular town, photographing any shop window with cats in even inside the shops sometimes, for which I asked permission, of course - there's a lot of very witty cat products out there - and I bet some of them would do well on the web :money:

Shattered again last night, but I seem to have caught up this morning. I've done my early Monday phone call for work, which was very distracting this week, so its taken me a while to get my act together. Must do better!

To-do list is emails and phone calls, plus the French purchase contract study. And I want to get out this afternoon - focus on one of the [STRIKE]two[/STRIKE] three bits of the garden that are most in need of weeding and then bark mulching _pale_

:coffee: I think I may have another coffee today

Done all the emails and phone calls - I remember something Tim Ferriss said, about bunching things - I hadn't done this intentionally, but it does help.

And never mind coffee :coffee: I'm hungry now Really peeved that I was so distracted this morning by my usual phone call - I didn't actually miss a trade because of it, but I'm still stamping my foot never mind, food and garden together will soon cure that hunger isn't good for me, y'know

Slight amount more peevement about the trading - I didn't recognise a signal at 2pm :o:o mea culpa

And I had to spend ages on the phone with an emergency call - not a client of mine, simply a lost soul that happens sometimes. Had to get out into the garden after that, and finally, finally, finally ....

I can tell that the weeding from previous years has had an effect! Even though there's nasty straggly grass, its sort of skimming over the top of the soil - bag it all, chuck the bark mulch over it, and hey presto. I'm coming in every half hour for a good mooch at the trading, but the move that I didn't see is the big one for early-mid afternoon, I think.

Otherwise - ha! I've found enough plastic folders, the sort that have 2 sides closed and 2 open, to cope with the different sets of paper I need for my cat website - "website", "card design", "collars" and "other products" are the main areas :D:D I can't do stuff like this if it isn't organised - in fact, I was reading a web article somewhere about that, that creativity needs clarity and concentration (how almost-poetic :rotfl:).

Hey love you sound SO busy and just look after yourself. I know you do well on busy but (pots/kettle here) .

Excellent find on the sheets - love cotton

And as for the cats - they sound like they're lifting your spirits.

Trading wise you know I'm a buffoon but you're sounding so switched on about it.

And for lost souls finding you (there are a few of us!) I'm glad you had time for them and for weeds that are behaving - that's good stuff.

Have a great day today.

Thanks Pippi! Yep, you're right, I'm exhausted today - I'm not going to do anything in the garden, even though I *really* want to, the most I'll do is peel a carrot for some crudites Its very tempting, I can see the bones of the garden I want starting to emerge, but there's no point when I'm this tired.

Lost souls ... ah well, there are levels of lostness. You and I are lost in a good way, finding ways of living that aren't the conventional straight path (though the straight path is much less common nowadays, of course).

As for the sheet, I was chuffed to find 100% cotton, yes - I mentioned it on the book of face to my cousin in New Jersey, and she and *her* cousin in Florida didn't know what sheets were :huh: they call them "flats" - umm, nope, thats not it :rotfl: and when I said my previous one had died, they started thinking I was talking about gambling :rotfl:(die, see!). Of all the English cousins, I'm the one who uses words they don't understand - personally, I think its because I write the most :rotfl: I really hope so, but I also think its because of the colourful metaphors I use - sheets dying, and all that - and thats because of you, Pippi, with the hokey cokey and the doglets and the childerbeasts and whatnot :T:T:T I do love it so much :j

Well, today's list: hmm, banking and library were in my diary, I'm not doing that walk today, and nor am I doing any gardening, so the cat website it is I have a "next steps" list of 30 odd things that *can* be done, so I'll pick a few and do them, after my paid work finishes at 2pm. Oh, and looking at the French contracts, botheration. Never mind, I'll have a decaff coffee to compensate :coffee:

Hiya! Thats true, there have been I just need to regroup on the energy - quite snuffly and sore, which may be simple allergens in the soil - yesterday was the first time its been properly dry, so they may have been flying about.

I see what you're trying to do - but remember, there's facebook :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

And Beanie! Congratulations! :T:T:T:T

Isn't it great!

Nothing much here - pootle time, with a cuppa tea.

I managed to catch up on sleep a bit yesterday, thank heavens, and I have a draft of a news article for the cat website, written, and photos correctly sized. Nothing else, though apart from chasing a cat off my Alexanders this morning

And today, apart from my big long session, has to be an admin day. To *make* myself do it, I'm not going to post an update until I *have* done it, because thats what really needs doing, I can't just footle around the edges, even if I dislike what I need to do.

Coffee. Thats whats needed. Or a strong cuppa tea.

mizmir

:coffee: Now go do that thing!
