Back at work

I probably should have taken another day off, because I’m still not feeling great (this is the worst cold I’ve had in ages – apparently there’s loads of people laid low by it), but I was feeling just well enough to come in to work (and enough of a combination of bored and guilty to…

The cat has food

You’ll all be relieved to hear that I made it to the supermarket (it’s stopped raining, but still very cold, so I compromised by taking the bus there and a taxi back, to minimise my waiting around in the cold time) so Parsnips is now replete with catfood and very happy.  And I’m stocked up…

Still sick

It’s a cold and miserable drizzly day (I assume this is the far edge of Cyclone Pam that’s sitting somewhere over the North Island at the moment), and I’m feeling cold and miserable and loaded with the cold.  And I can report that daytime TV is just as lacking in entertainment value as it ever…

Buzzard

(Yes, the picture is sideways – I took the photo this morning, but didn’t realise until now that I’d put the block up the wrong way. So rather than try and re-photograph it in the less than ideal light now, I just rotated the photo, even though it looks weird 🙂 ) Anyway, Buzzard done. …

Oops

eally really must get myself a hat. Or at least some sunscreen. Or maybe both. Or I could just be a bit more sensible about how much time I spend out in the sun… yeah, that might be a good idea too. Because I managed to get myself sunburnt again in my lunch break today…

Ok, so maybe I have

ell, I managed to get through yesterday and even made it to the party in the evening (which was a lot of fun – it featured giant jenga on the lawn, and a poetry recitation by the boss), but I’m paying for it today – I don’t feel all that unwell, but I’m exhausted, in…

I have NOT got a cold

‘m trying very hard to ignore the headachey sniffliness which has been creeping up on me since yesterday afternoon, because I absolutely don’t have time to have a cold at the moment.  We’ve got our office Christmas party tonight, and there’s a tonne of stuff I want to get done this weekend, and three more…

Finger report

ctually, it’s suprisingly unpainful – except of course at those moments when I bump it against something, which happens every time I forget that I’ve got a giant sausage of bandage on my finger, making it twice the size it normally is and therefore needs a lot more clearance room than normal…  I am discovering,…

That was incredibly stupid

I just got back from spending two hours at the emergency clinic, having managed to cut a lovely big slice into my finger.  The culprit was my lovely rotary fabric cutter, which I was enthusiastically wielding while starting a new sewing project, when a moment’s inattention meant that my little finger on the hand that…
