Underway
Well, formally given one estate agent notice to sell my house, got a quote from a solicitor that sounds ok, and formally put a (slightly higher than we thought) offer in on a house near Brighton. Wow. Things have suddenly started moving rather fast! No regrets, all feels good. I just need to keep my…

So near…
Otis is now a Finished Object (FO), but not quite a Genuinely Finished Object (GFO). All the knitting is complete. So now I need to put it together and sew the ends in. And find a button. Rather than the ribbons, I’m going to put a hook on one side and a button on the…

Coving!
Yes, finally, I have coving! I know. It doesn’t look that exciting. But oh! It is! That stuff has been sitting on the floor in my landing for months while we wimped out of trying again. I finally found someone to come and do it for me, so that’s it! Now it just needs painting……

Sorry Sunday
I’m not a big fan of Sundays anymore. Either I have to travel from GG’s house, or she leaves me. And today she’s had to leave early because she’s got to go do a tech rehearsal for a panto in Crawley. But a brief progress report on the weekend. We did both runs this weekend!…

Useless
I am useless. I failed to go running at lunchtime yesterday, because I got hungry even after my elevenses and didn’t feel up to it. So I bailed on cricket with the intention of running when I got home instead. I went home, ate a little bit, started knitting and watching telly, then my Dad…

Ick… Winter.
Today is the kind of day that I really hate about an English winter. It’s cold (high supposed to be about 2 degrees) but not frosty, grey and overcast but not raining/snowing, and very still. Actually, I don’t mind it being very still, it would be good cycling, but I have a cricket net this…

Note to self
If it’s forecast to be a high of 3 degrees, don’t try running in a short sleeve top. Unless you want to have to defrost your hands for the next 10 minutes. That new heating… Made me think it was warm outside…

Giving up on categories already
Well, putting everything in the same category. Too much like hard work to keep moving everything around! The house was very warm this morning. A whopping 22 degrees! That’s about 4 degrees higher than a normal morning. And the bathroom was toasty. If anything, I’m going to have to turn the downstairs heaters down a…

Sometime later…
Well, the man came, and many hours later I have two new storage heaters and one relocated one. Marvelous. And I have a timer on my immersion heater, so that should save me some money and stop my hot water requirements completely killing the planet or something. I know storage heaters are generally rubbish and…

Hello There
Well, having started over at bloglines, I finally got fed up of the lack of formatting and pretty-making options. Whether or not you agree that this looks pretty is a whole different issue! I am mostly using my blog as a way to keep track of everything I have to do, to set myself little…
