It was, hon, I had another two hours sleep - the two halves of yesterday were really different from one another too, I feel like I've had a four day weekend :j:j:j and no emergency phone calls :j
Updated list - previous versions to be ignored
- washing machine on, clothes line-dried, I've brought them in already, it was trying to spit.
- flickr, buddy icon personalisedphotos up there have been named, and the photos I wanted to take today uploaded onto the computer, might do the rest this evening.
- bought the wedding present, I'll saunter along to the postbox shortly to do the card.
- weeds attacked so I could do some of those photos. "These aren't the weeds you're looking for", but they *are* weeds, so they've gone anyway
- the ginger cat loves me againand has a girlfriend - he and the tiny tortie female shared my decking for a moment

Flickr sounds interesting.0

Its very visual, not linking to articles like pinterest, which means you don't have to blather for the sake of it
there's some interesting stuff on there - some is available to use on blogs, for instance, hint, hint - you can search for images according to the type of licence, which is helpful.

I think I am giving up. No time.0

You do sound incredibly overworked, SHS - something has to give in that situation. I'm sorry to hear it, but I completely understand it. Keep your login details - in a year's time, you may well find that going back there is a really good idea.
Busy today - almost 3 hours client workwhich seems a ridiculous thing to say given what SHS herself has to do, but thats what fatigue does
You know that thing we say, you never know whats around the corner - we just had bad news about a fatal car crash during a holiday. Carpe diem, while taking care of future finances - balance it out, lovely peeps, balance is all.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
It gives perspective when you get bad news like that and very sobering.
Particularly for younger people who are knee deep in large mortgages, and keen to reduce their debt. Live a bit today, as you don't know what's coming. Don't put everything off until tomorrowEarly retired - 18th December 2014

Sorry to hear you've had such tragic news.0

Thanks both - it can sound so doom-laden, but it really is true.
Paid work seemed to go really well, though I haven't done *any* of the background work today, phone calls, emails etc - only got one phone session tomorrow, so I'll catch up then. And I just caught enough light to fill a black bag with grass and clippings and whatnot - rubbish wasn't collected a fortnight ago cos I was away at the wedding, so the bin's quite tight today2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
So sorry to hear this.
