    Funny old world, isn't it :o

    Very tired superhero today, I think yesterday was quite a lot - and I did a YouGov survey too, lateish evening - a fraction over 3000 points now :)

    No paid work today, thank heavens. I planned to do lots (obvs ;)) but I might need to restrict myself to a single piece of pruning - starting to stop my buddleia overrunning my neighbour's fence, for instance, so that I can talk to them about their leylandii overrunning me at the front - plus shredding paperwork and playing about on pinterest - I'm not sure how productive it is, though it does publicise the blogs, but its fun, thats for sure :)

    Thank heavens :)

    A quiet day today, little bit of faffing online, little bit of tidying in the kitchen, little bit of chopping up buddleia remains.

    Tidying - windowsill spider was perched on a plant saucer, so I could hoof it out of the house without killing it :j

    Kitchen is tidier too :j

    Online faffing has turned into preparing a chunk of genealogy information for my mum - a rellie married into a *lot* of money, as in Kodak the film people money, and I'm trying to reconcile the paperwork and the family stories. Very interesting :) but the only research of *mine* is about a divorce, so understanding other people's raw data is always a challenge :D

    Buddleia remains unchopped. And I don't care :D

    Thanks earthgirl :)

    I did so little yesterday! Went to my sister's, which was good, but ate a (single) slice of cake at lunchtime, and had a reaction to the sugar - she drove me back here and I sat here helpless till the yuck had worn off :( At least it did wear off, though, and because neighbours were noisy I spent the later evening faffing about with the family tree of this French/Channel Islands/photography bit, twas very interesting. Agatha Christie makes a brief appearance, I kid you not :rotfl: though she's not related, not even by marriage :D

    So, today ... been swapping files and finding genealogy stuff, so another computer backup is called for - I'd be gutted to lose this work. Fortunately its plug and play :cool:

    Other than that, there's 3 hours paid work, and I'd like to post the blogs that I wrote last week. I'd like to do other stuff too, but I doubt I will :rotfl:
