So, it’s been a week of holidays from blogging and I have to say that it’s been great to come home from work at night and know that I don’t have to try and find something witty or interesting to write about, and that I can just sit on the couch, watch some tv, read…
NaNoWriMo = Success
Seriously folks, I know that this is officially my last post for November, but I’ve been writing all day, trying desperately to get my NaNoWriMo novel finished and my wrist is just KILLING me. Hurts so bad, and I still have a wee bit more writing to do so that I can officially win NaNoWriMo.…
November is nearly over
WOW what a ride November has been. It has been full of ups – huge highs and downs – major lows. I have to say that at the beginning of the month I knew that I had set myself up for a full on month. I stupidly thought that I might still be able to…
I need a tree
First off I would just like to say thank you very much to both Marshmallow, Chris and Linda for their kind words yesterday. When I woke up this morning and saw your comments you put a smile on my face and Marshy your Hugs just brought a warm feeling to me. When you think everything…
Christmas is still cancelled
Today has been a shit day. The dramas that started yesterday have just intensified to the point where I can’t think about anything else and don’t quite care about much. I have nothing more to post. Here’s hoping now that tomorrow is better.
Christmas is cancelled
No seriously people. Christmas is cancelled this year. My mum told me so today, when she said that she was no longer coming around for traditional Christmas Eve dinner. Why is it that at this time of the year when people are supposed to be happy, merry, cheery, bright and loving, it always turns out…
Excuse me while I drool
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a copy of Elizabeth Hartman’s book The Practical Guide to Patchwork: New Basics for the Modern Quiltmaker. Well yay for me it finally got here. If you are a quilter, or interested in quilting, or just want to have a look at a book that has some damn…
Wrist breakage anniversary
WARNING: ICKY PHOTOS THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT LIKE IN THIS POST. Two years ago today I broke my wrist. It was a Monday morning, and I had just started a new job the Tuesday before, so I set out nice and early, totally excited about going to work – it was (at the time) the…
The hike of my life
Okay so enough of my whingeing about the hike on Sunday (though really, I have so much more whingeing left in me – honest). It really was overall just a beautiful weekend. We left early on Saturday morning and took a nice leisurely drive down through Victor Harbour, ending up in Deep Creek Conservation park…
When everything hurts
So I know that I said I was going to post more about the hiking trip, but today everything just hurts. I managed to pull a muscle on the way back up the bloomin cliff yesterday, it was niggling me as we were going up, but to be honest everything hurt so much I didn’t…
