Sorry ! I'm not with it today, I would like to go out on my bike but it would best if I stay indoors. It is nice and sunny out but there is a cold wind. Well I think it is. Ill just look at my watches instead.

Liked because it's a bonkers idea :laugh:. I don't like gin though, I wonder if they do a rum version?

Back to mundanity for me today after a weekend in Cardiff where I attended the launch party for my cousin's book. He was really pleased with how it went and a good time was had by all. The publisher seems really pleased too as they've sold out and started the second print run before it's even officially arrived in the shops.:ohmy:

I've ended up with two copies; the left one is the UK version and the right is for the US - same text but a different illustrator. I'm about 2/3 of the way through at the time of writing and it's a lot of fun so far. I hope the target audience thinks the same.^_^
 
I didn't have bacon sandwiches for lunch - those have been relegated to supper as I cleared up some random items lurking in the fridge instead.

Been messing around with paper templates for my impending sewing project. I couldn't find a very specific design for one of the elements (a laurel wreath), so had to backwards engineer it from scratch using some photos. I've proved that I've got it spot on, but I do need to reduce things in size by 45% for it to fit into the space that it has been assigned.

Need to nip to the utility room to rescue a load of laundry.
 
Afternoon all ! Had a morning session in Bath today. Should be back to normal afternoon time tomorrow.

:hugs:

My roof is complete, which feels like something of a moment. But strictly on the mundane, how about this: I bought 220 slates for this roof. One fell apart in the van. I used precisely 219. Right now, I'm getting as much satisfaction from that as from finishing the roof.

Oh, and a client paid me today, after arguing blind (through his accountant) for 2 weeks that he owed me £500+, when the invoice was for £1200+. Accountants! Sheesh. They can drive you nuts.
