But my words like silent raindrops fell - 2:42 PM
Had the house warming this weekend, which was all good.Work
This week has be all about primer design, and 96 primers latter I was all done. This took quite a bit of effort to get all of them designed and confirmed. Next week I will be writing my abstract for QMB. And doing some cloning. Work has been pretty quite as every one is absorbed in their work with the end of the finial year looming.
Social
Again not much happening here, mainly due to the weather and every one working hard. We celebrated Kelly's birthday at work with cake, I made sure the hospital had stomach pumps on stand by if I got out of control. Luckily I didn't. But Happy Birthday Kelly. We also had our house warming this week. Thank you to all those that came. Our house is now thoroughly warmed. I think I did a brilliant job of tarpauling our back deck. It wasn't the warmest out there, but you could still go out there, which was good, as so many people turned up
Handbag shopping is really quite a personal thing, almost like getting a pet. You go into the store and wait for one to pick you, then you bond. Leave the store, make sure that it isn't just a fling, then come back. On the come back if it still wants you and you still want it, your life will not be the same if you don't get it. You will think about it, and regret not getting it. Thus you have a hand bag that will be with you for life. Or until some other handbag needs you. YAH Brair made me my cushions. They are great. Will post a picture when I have filled them.Games
I haven't had time for games lately. I bet Connect 4, so now refuse to ever play it again.
Wellbeing
It was going well until the evil white bread of the house warming. Hopefully come tomorrow it won't matter. Still we will see. My nails are getting longer and looking good.

Media
I am now reading Dirk Gently's Holistic Detective Agency.
I love Douglas Adams writing. So enjoying this book yet again.I also saw Pirates of the Caribbean : Worlds End,
this week. And at around 3 hours I was a little bit worried after the second one what I was letting myself in for. But it was good. You don't need to see it at the movie, but it is worth a look. Much more similar to the first one. Projects
I should have my fish finished in a couple of weeks, all the under glazes are done. Just the glazes and mother of pearl to go. I will do some work on the car today, as I need to clean it out to find the cushion stuffing
You've had your whole FUCKING LIFE to think things over, what's a few more minutes gonna do you now?
