Sorting out the attic after the fire. This is going to be Mrs E's chillzone and indoor garden now we have a pull-down ladder leading up there. But there's room for my dartboard and Guy N Smith trunk (which really is full to the brim)!

Olympics, Gladioli & Crabs

Was stuck in bed until late morning as fudjcat decided she wanted to sit on my lap and watch the Olympics on my phone. She has really got into watching TV this year.

When I finally made it out of bed, I messaged Mrs E to show her how her gladioli buds had opened. In the message I foolishly remarked how I had positioned myself like a pro to avoid my reflection in the mirror.

Her wordless reply was just this close up of one section of my photo lol:

Spent the rest of the day removing boxed we had stored from the fire whilst the house was being restored out of the shed and back into the house.

Fudge was happy to be outside with us as she had made it her mission to remind the neighbourhood cats, who had made our garden their home while we were away, that she has returned and that the place was HER territory!

I have been on tenterhooks all week following the listing of a particular edition of one of Guy N Smith's books I never thought I would even get the chance to own. Although it finally went for a princely sum, I had been willing to up my bid if necessary, and to my relief, this little treasure should soon be making its way through the postal system to my letterbox! :)

Go this Sway

I spent the day learning more about Microsoft Sway for my new role as a Communications Officer at work. Here is what I came up with - an advert for my new Guy N Smith zine. Go this way, as they say, to see my new Guy N Smith book, out August 1st, 2024.
