Unplugged.
Laptop broken! Insanity setting in! Fear for future of self and family but getting blighter looked at on Friday so keep things crossable crossed please. Not least as replacement is something like £700.
Soon to come, internets and laptop permitting:
Birthdays, and smugness thereof courtesy of handmade presents and the rather excellent reception said goods were accorded;
Cooking, the doing much thereof, with recipes to boot;
Dolls, the concocting thereof;
Cob houses, and the large trenches appearing around them (or, er, it, specifically, it being our cob house in question).
And you?
Replacement is only £700 if one insists on purchasing i-Stuff, of course
(me, I’d want three for that price…)
Glad your presents were appreciated.
I have been Without Internet at home since Sunday. Symptoms getting very, very bad now. Internet service promised to resume tomorrow. It’d better!
Good luck with the laptop – I would be shattered if mine went off! [note to self: BACK UP IMMEDIATELY]
I hate not having my laptop! Which is probably why I should set some time AWAY from it every now and then!
Good luck!
having just come back from Small World festival I found I didn’t miss the laptop at all! In fact loved being totally unconnected. It meant I spent far more time in the here and now enjoying the people round me! Never thought I’d say that. Only back on it now 3 days after returning in order to freegle our tumble dryer that’s been taking up space in our minute kitchen for the last year without being used! Glad to catch up on others though, particularly as now out of festyland find myself all on my lonesome again!
BW: Once you’ve had i-whatsit, you don’t look back.
Megan: I feel your pain – spent a week away without t’inter before finding, ON SATURDAY, that it was no more chez nous courtesy of buggered laptop. Gah. GAH. Has now been close on two weeks since free access was mine – this is, like you, on early work time.
A Green Spell: yes – if you’re missing it that much, time to back away, she said, hypocritically.
ema: it has its place, hasn’t it, but it’s nice to remember the things which surround that place too.
broken i-thingies are (well, almost) akin to the loss of a limb in our household. So I hope yours get unbroked quickly. And I do so want to hear about all those birthday, baking, and doll-making activities you’re dangling so temptingly beneath our noses!
I’ve been planning to make a Steiner dolly for months now, and am reserving the attempt to do so until exams are over in a few weeks time. So I look forward to hearing how you go about it and any tips thereof. Even though I’ve made dolls before, this one seems a little intimidating for some reason. But I have an excellent book on how to make Steiner dolls – patterns included, so I should manage something, er, hopefully resembling the thing itself. (I fear a child-scaring Coraline-style result).
