Breaking Through, Travelling On

Brilliant work on the garden KC! Gardening is soooo theraputic!

I've envious of the patchwork you have - no commute & such a nice balance of various activities.

Have been dying to ask you how the pedometer session went? (Did you keep it clipped on or did you unclip?)

I've had to cut out my afterwork walk this month, not enough time in the day atm, so only getting about 8000 steps in which for me is about 3 miles - would double that and get in about 6 miles - one can dream!:D

It really makes a difference! And the patchwork is really essential to have any chance of keeping on top of it - my neighbour is a full time commuter, and its now well dark by the time he gets home. I have the chance to go out whenever it suits me - believe me, I know how lucky I am!

Sorry! I did about 4,800 steps after I put it on that day - not used it since, tbh I don't think its really a good enough model to trust. Between the odd little walk, working in the garden, running up and down stairs 50 times a day because I've forgotten something (especially with all the design-y stuff, because the office with the computer and the kitchen table with the craft stuff are on different floors) I'm doing okay-for-me, though I'm horrendously unfit

Its tricky! There's an outdoor gym just outside my house, but in summer the kids just sit there, and in winter the cold gets to my lingering shingles pain - spring and autumn are the only possibles. What do you mean, its autumn now? :rotfl:

Hi edinburgher! The **planned** new income streams are selling greetings cards of one sort or another with cat designs on - stencils, knitted work, embroidery, a few Photoshop effects, witticisms and quotes, wordles, anything and everything really. Thats the website, and it'll have shops at zazzle, or cafepress, that sort of thing. I might bling up collars later on, see how it goes.

The other **projected** income stream is from writing - I've got about 20,000 words on getting home from a commute etc if there's an emergency, plus one idea that *didn't* work out, a water website, left me with a load of information about saving water - its out on the web at the moment, but I might as well put it together and sell it as an ebook.

There are a lot of words written for an apoca-fic novel too

Anything that I sell as an ebook will be offered free to friends for 24/48 hours, so they can leaf through and give me nice reviews :D:D I'm green-man-grinning, but I will do that. I'm determined I'll get the "getting home" one finished by 17 October.

I'd be interested in reading all of those (I suppose I'm a 'cheerful doomer', totally hooked on 70s 'we're all doomed' fiction)

Happy to write some reviews for you, do keep us posted.

Karmacat

Thank you! I *will* keep in touch, that'd be great. 70s we're all doomed - Survivors! I lost interest when it got too worthy (I was about 17 - I was down the pub!) but it was great. And the first season of Doomwatch.

edinburgher

I've never seen Survivors, but it sounds *ace*! Might be one to watch once we finish re-watching all 9 series of the X-Files.

Just asked OH to be my universal translator - he's muttered something about the guy who played jesus and that doomwatch had already started...

I'm confused:o

Definitely! It starts with the Apocalypse, so I'm not telling you anything new - I didn't take to the remake though, the original was much better (even if I *am* showing my age :rotfl:).

It was on a *long* time ago - and your OH is absolutely right, Toby was played by Robert Powell (Jesus, and I think he was Mahler as well ) though he then went on to play "comedy" with Jasper Carrott, sigh ... but back in the day, he was beautiful (sigh ...) I don't quite remember the actual doom watch, but I think your OH does - I was kind of obsessed with Robert Powell

...OMG I think my universal translator is broken...

...toby died at the end of series one by sitting on an unexploded mine at the end of brighton pier...

...he was picked for jesus by the director's wife who thought he had the right eyes...

...and something about a record with jasper carrot and the magic round about...

...I think we've entered the twilight zone!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
