Travelling On

Downshifterella

Well done on the French accounts! Phew on computer being okay!

Both of those deserve celebration with a cuppa ( and perhaps cake? )

now that sounds v interesting..

Thanks! I do love writing, and this one is a little bit connected to the previous kindle one I wrote. Plus the travel one, about visiting Greece and then au pairing in France, is 90% done, and it would be a shame not to get it out there. Maybe while I'm at the catsitting flat.

Well done KC - I know you dread those French accounts. A squashed frog, as they say (mixing my metaphors!)

Squashed frog sounds good to me in this sense :rotfl:

Yep, it was a relief that the computer popped back on! Celebratory drink is a strong coffee no cake, sadly, can't have it in the house. I might make some gluten free brownies today

The fog is burning off right now, I'd really like to do a bonfire today, but everything's still a bit soggy with the fog. We'll see

I really don't like doing computer updates. In fact my laptop is still on Windows 7, and something happened about 18 months which meant I haven't have any updates since then, which I'm actually pleased about. There is a work around, to sort it out but I haven't bothered:o However, this laptop is now nearly 8 years old and so slow - so I intend to bite the bullet and get a new one this year. Therefore, I will be back to Windows updates again.

My iPad is so old that it doesn't get updates, and my iPhone got an update a few weeks ago, and I still haven't done it - must get round to it!

I'm with you, Goldie! This laptop is about 7 years old, runs Windows 7, but does still get updates. Its really slow when it starts up, but it was very high spec when I bought it, so its not too bad once it gets going. My kindle is really old, no updates either. My phone is mad - its less than 18 months old, but I didn't understand how little space it had for apps - I'm juggling all the time, grrr!


No bonfire today, too many people had their washing out, so maybe Monday. Tidied Accounts paperwork away, other kitchen-goods upstairs (my god, I've got a lot of stuff in my kitchen!). Went on a walk - its definitely springlike round here, lovely, but shattered now, of course. DVD box set is my friend

Karmacat

I've been bumbling around, mse and other places, for hours now though that did include a nice long chat with my sister

So! Still glorious weather here, but after finishing the accounts paperwork yesterday, I'm going to set up the shredder - there's a lot ready to shred, and there's more to be quick-scanned and shredded too. I want to avoid polite conversation with my *other*, perfectly pleasant neighbour, so that will help there as well

Balance of probabilities is a local walk again, but digging up the few remaining brambles is an idea whose time might have come. We'll see.

Karmacat

I ignored the brambles faffed about for ages trying to move kitchen goods that aren't needed regularly to the upstairs in some kind of logical way. Felt positive, but fiddly, so I've been out in the garden, digging around my lemon balm, which has been invaded by couch grass and sodding alpine strawbs. I *think* I've saved it, but oh boy, that was a lot of weed roots

Had a bit of a cuppa, and off for a walk in the sunshine now, to make sure I don't finish the day bent over from gardening :eek:

I managed to get out in the garden yesterday and it was so good to get it all tidied up. Apart from a few daffs harldy anything pretty yet!

Karmacat

That must have been lovely, earthgirl - I did an hour or so in the end, yesterday, about three square feet cleared, and it joined up with previous clearing, though I didn't put bark chippings down, and I'm kind of regretting that now because it was frosty out there last night. Today, it'll be a bit more weeding - possibly a bonfire!

Karmacat

I was going to go to my healthy walk, and realised it wouldn't help me be me, so I laid off. So far today I have:
- done SB.
- phoned pharmacy to cancel tomorrow's flu vaccination, I don't feel quite chipper enough to do that.
- dishwasher has cycled through.
- bought a ticket to see an underground hydroponics outfit in London. Mega expensive (for me, anyway) but how often do I get to see hydroponic farms? So, worth it



Rest of today:
- phone brother, if I can track him down, he's mad busy.
- simultaneous scanning and shredding in the office.
- confirm my lovely neighbour will look after my house again, already indicated he will.
- send farm ticket visit to my kindle.
- start to pack stuff
- email niece-in-law.
- social emails.
- something in the garden, weeding or bonfiring.
