eClutter

A bit of a break here on SS~WW whilst I declutter the Mac.  I'll begin this afternoon, but as I don't want to be sat in front of a screen long enough to do it all, I will be breaking it up into manageable chunks over several days.  As I love to tell BH (lol) I do like to run a clean machine and much decluttering is due, or overdue!

Going through files & folders with a fine toothed comb I hope to free up loads of space that is currently being taken up by various bits no longer needed.  Also I have a couple of online sites that need a bit of attention too, such as Instapaper (which is on May's to do list) and a few programs here on the Mac that share info with their sister apps on the iPad.  The poor lil' iPad doesn't have infinite space available, although the cloud and the apps/programs that work with it has eased much of the burden.

Best make a start then as it won't happen on it's own!

What A Find :)

Watching Countryfile this past weekend, well I say watching but it was really just background noise more or less, when I heard a really lovely tune begin that made me look up at the screen.  She is absolutely fabulous, such a talent with a soft beautiful voice!

As you can see from this video, the crew with Countryfile were stopped in their tracks when she began to sing too.  Here website is HERE and the single is available on iTunes if you use it.  Best of luck to Zoe!

Ha!

The sun is shining, I kid you not!  Truly, truly amazing.  Reports of it's demise were, it seems, greatly exaggerated.

Not even neighbours #1 erecting a satellite dish twice the size of any normal one, nor neighbours #2 who tend to grate nerves in the best of times can dampen my spirits today!  The sun is out and shining so, so bright ~ apparently the whole world is not going down the plughole as previously thought.

Life is good.

Enjoy!

Worm Juice

If you would have said to me 5 years ago that at some time in 2012 I would be using the words worm & juice together AND that I'd be rather excited about the prospect of having some to hand..... well, I'd have called for the men in the white coats I would! 

But . . . it is 2012, here is our very first siphoning of worm juice, and I'm quite thrilled!

Who'd of thought, eh?

It's been a bit of an odd week here at The Lodge, the sciatica is still around and seems to have settled in my lower outer calf and around my ankle along with the usual shooting pains from my rear (lol) down my leg.  *sigh*  As per usual, I've spent most of this past week fighting it ~ when will I learn, eh? ~ but will now "go with the flow" and do what feels best, trying to be at least a little bit productive in whatever position that is at the time!  I will be ever so happy when I can put my shoe on without it feeling as though someone has put my foot in a vice

So, there isn't a lot to report.  Did I say that I've now gone down the last notch of nicotine on my eCig?  It's been ok, not too uncomfortable although I have been vaping more.  I doubt that it's equal to the higher level though so progress nonetheless.  When starting, my aim was to be completely free by the one year anniversary which I now think is totally doable.

This weekend is a long Essence Weekend for me so I'll wish you a lovely (dry & sunny?) weekend now.  Take care and I'll see you Monday. or thereabouts!
