Not With A Very Long Bargepole!
Current Mood: Evil 👿
A decidedly ‘ex’ client of mine decided to get in touch with me, out of the blue, this morning.
I have no idea which planet this person is currently occupying but it’s not this one!
It might be finished by November
Current Mood: Pleased 🙂
The chunky winter cardigan is almost half-finished. I managed to add another 8-10 inches over the weekend. I’ve also finally figured out that it’s knitted from one side to the other rather than from top to bottom. At least the pattern makes sense now!
Candles and More Candles
Current mood: Happy 😀
I managed to make some candles today. The first batch I’ve made in ages (the candlemaking session I ran at the Discworld Con doesn’t count).
Random Image
Current Mood: Pleased 🙂
OK – the random art thumbnail script is working.
I did think about developing the script into a full WordPress plugin but it’s pulling pre-generated thumbnails from the Quirm Graphic Art Gallery and would take quite a bit of work to add a GD based thumbnail generator to the current script. Perhaps I’ll look into it some other time.
For now, I’m quite happy using it ‘as is’.
Free Time
Current Mood: Better 😐
I’ve actually spent some time today working on some of my own scripts. I honestly can’t recall the last time I did this. It’s been months!
I might even try adding a script to display a random piece of my own art work to the sidebar on this blog. And then…. who knows. Maybe I could do even work on some new art work for a change…
Ow!
Current Mood: Sad 🙁
Maybe it’s stress-related (see yesterday) but I’ve had a lot of pain over the past few days.
The physio thought it was a lupus flare.
And Another One Bites The Dust
I’ve been discharged from the latest round of physio appointments now that I’ve mastered the exercises for my neck. However, before I left, the therapist told me that I can go back anytime I need help and I won’t need a doctor’s referral.
I don’t know whether to view this as a Good Thing ™ or be worried that I’ve got an open invitation.
Hassled, Harried And Bewildered
Current mood: Angry 😡
I am not having a good week and it’s only halfway through.
Having taken over a site two years ago and pretty much turned it from an embarrassment into something pretty neat, I know find myself being continually questioned about what the new site can, or can’t do.
Hospital
Cuurent Mood: Pleased 🙂
I had an appointment at the local orthopaedic unit today. I’ve been going there for about a year now because of the bad wrist which, in turn, resulted in a bout of septicaemia thanks to a steroid injection last October.
The good news is that they’ve decided that the wrist is as good as it’s going to get and that they can safely discharge me.
One less hospital appointment to remember/fit in.
Get the walking stick out!
Having managed to allow his back to heal after last weekend, R managed to hurt it again this afternoon. Or rather K did when he decided to do one of his kamikaze backward lunges whilst holding R’s hand.
So it’s back to using a walking stick, no standing for any length of time and painkillers. Fortunately, we managed to pick up a couple of collapsible walking sticks the other day so we can now do “his n’ her” matching walking sticks on occasions.
