7 Days: Day 3 – Nuts to the postman

The gift I wanted to get Debbie for Christmas is best priced across the other side of the Atlantic and so I enlisted help from Bethany to place the order and then I’d pay her back (and we know how easy that was). Being a generous soul, Bethany enclosed a little something for me in [...]

Hush money

I needed to send Bethany this month’s hush money and so logged into Paypal to work out from previous transactions how much to add to the amount to cover the fee. Because you know what Bethany’s like – if I didn’t do that, she’d probably fly into a wild rage … while also blogging, watching [...]

Shiny new

I’ve been changing Dreamdust’s look this weekend, gradually changing a WordPress template to suit my tastes and gradually discovering all the bits of CSS that had been weirdly zeroed, so as to interfere with other bits of CSS when you weren’t expecting it.

Page 46

Bonnie tagged me with some Bookworm award-meme-thing that seems to just involve copying some words. My kind of meme. The logo is also an uncanny representation of me at work. The rules say: Pass it on to five other bloggers (pfft), and tell them to open the nearest book to page 46. Write out the fifth [...]

Footwarmers without borders

The warmth of my feet is clearly of the utmost concern to those in mainland Europe. Last year Hubert bought me this pair of slippers to keep my toes warm and today the postman delivered this delightful pair of socks sent to me by Gaby from the Allgäu (that’s her full name). The packaging calls [...]
