Morning! Absolutely, DDFW, I love extending the weekend - not that I don't work, I *slaved* yesterday on the website, a lot of work went into pruning and prettifying - once I pruned, I saw how dull it looked, so I had to re-learn how to choose themes on weebly - it took forever, but I've now got one with a background, so I have to choose the right pic of mine to create said cat-themed background :A at the moment, its a rather stern lion made from wire, which I took lots of snaps of when I went to see the ceramic poppies at the Tower of London. Not cuddly at all :rotfl:
Anyway, there *is* counselling-type work today. Got my business partner coming round for a meeting, then a client coming round too - the real stuff starts tomorrow, and continues. So this morning, I'll work on that background pic for the website, thendo some cleaning - the place is filthy :eek: ( I do so love the shrieky smiley) the sad truth is that working in the garden for 20 minutes creates just as much dirt in the house as working out there for 2 hours . So I have to deal
There's more tidying up today, too2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Just wanted to say KC that I love your posts - they always make me smile! :smileyhea (don't think I have ever used that smiley before!). Seaside investments sound wonderful - love the sea - one of the things I liked about Wales was being within shouting distance of the coast. And glad to see you are looking after yourself too!0

You sound very industrious KC:)
It must be nice getting back to normality and satisfying getting things done againEarly retired - 18th December 2014

Aw, thank you both! Yep, I love the seaside (doesn't have to be sand, the beaches round Liverpool have lots of sandstone rocks - most of the sand we played on as kids was in North Wales
) I love my garden, and I love getting things done (as well as footling about). Actually did what I needed to do on the cat website pretty quickly - cropping a great photo I took last month, rejigging font sizes, that sort of thing. A good meeting with my business partner, then work. Plus a draft of the article on cat collars
Off to Bedfordshire now - ooh, 23.30, just another ten minutes on the forum ... night night all2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -

If its seaside, it must be Pipster :j Happy Thursday to you too.
The Happy Wednesday took place at Starbucks, as the nearest coffee shop to the station, as a friend came to my town for a business meeting, which was fun
Today, I've got a lot of paid work in my terms (i.e. not very much at all for anyone with a salaried job outside the house) ... but I've been doing easy stuff already on the computer - it occurred to me that since one range of designs for the cat website is wordles, I need to see what my ordinary fonts can do. So I've been looking at that - took me an hour :eek: and now I'm going to hunt out some ancient CD I've got of Chinese characters, and see what that looks like :beer:
Otherwise, another cup of tea is called for :coffee:*

Well, I've been quite grumped-up this afternoon. My computer caught a virus - the anti-virus software caught it, but all the scanning and fixing took ages, and I couldn't do anything on the computer in the meantime. And I especially wanted a bit of downtime in that way because of work
days like this remind me why I want to retire so badly, grrr. Still, life carries on, I've been paid, I've eaten, its not all bad
I'm even about to have a glass of port

Computer all fixed
had a cuppa tea in preference to a glass of port
and am now printing out existing images to play around with to create new stencils
plus I've nearly finished knitting the body of one cat - don't think my tension is quite right, it all looks squatter than it should :rotfl: but one has to experiment, dontcha know
