Tuesday 10 January 2012 This is our baby Alexandra, born on the first day of the year. When I checked the records we had an Alexandra born on the first day of last year too, followed by another on the 18th – the red one. We had another heifer born this morning out of a [...]

So, what have I been up to?

Monday 17 January 2011 We spent the day at dad’s sorting out more of mum’s things, having given up on hoarding them. I listed some stuff on Freecycle and a lady left this morning having acquired a knitting machine and everything she could possibly want to go with it. She was subjected to a ‘show-and-tell’ [...]
How Weird

Wednesday 10 November 2010 Today I cut a mountboard for my sister, something I’ve been putting off for ages as it needed six apertures cut which seemed very complicated. It was more complicated than usual, but to be honest it wasn’t that complicated. Once it was done and I went to put my mountboard cutting [...]
Bank Holiday Monday

Monday 31 May 2010 I can’t believe tomorrow will be the first day of June. Month Six. Very nearly halfway through the year already. We spent the day as we usually do on public holidays: we worked. Daniel took a long weekend so I’ve milked for the past three mornings and helped in the afternoon [...]
Busy Week And A New Camera

Friday 19 March 2010 Since I last wrote I’ve done the following: Transferred data from an old computer to a new one for a friend, an all-afternoon job because the old computer was pretty old and downloaded at the slowest rate I’ve seen for a long time. 3.5 Gbs of data and about four hours [...]
Another Freecycle Experience

Monday 18 January 2010 Once again the clearing bug has come upon me (unfortunately it happens so infrequently) and I’ve been listing things on Freecycle or Ebay depending on the condition of them as well as ease of delivery. The large sewing cabinet mother-in-law left behind when she headed for the sanctuary of a bungalow [...]
Presents

Friday 20 November 2009 I didn’t mention my two main birthday presents so thought I would now even though my birthday seems ages ago but was in fact four days! My daughters bought me a Nintendo DS and the Brain Training pack and Gordon bought me a new LG phone. I had such trouble with [...]
A Man Possessed
Posted in family, Freecycle, home, Things that cause me amusement on 25 May 2009 | 2 Comments »
Monday 25 May 2009 Following on from the flies in the office and a discontented grumble to Gordon about how his rubbish at the end of the room was taking over, possibly concealing anything dead, he decided to ‘tidy-up’ yesterday. His things that have resided in the corners of the room since we moved in [...]
Another Freecycle Experience
Posted in Freecycle, home on 4 March 2009 | 2 Comments »
Tuesday 3 March 2009 A while ago we were given an old computer by a friend who knows Gordon likes to dismantle them and play, or at least that he used to. Nowadays he rarely has the luxury of spare time or the enthusiasm for such things and so it has been stored in our [...]
OK, I Think It’s Official
Posted in family, farm, Freecycle, home on 12 December 2008 | 3 Comments »
Friday 12 December 2008 I’ve decided it’s official: my life at the moment is really boring. I’m just working, either indoors or out, catching up on the eternal paperwork, trying to stay on top of chores that need doing and basically trying not to freeze to death. My excitement today was that Alex came home [...]
