keeping busy

Hi,

I've been trying to keep busy but the thing taking up most of my time has been trying to get my hubby's computer repaired. He caught a virus and it blocked the screen with adverts whenever he went into an Internet site.
The nice man came from the shop, took it away together with an old machine that we wanted the data transferring from. He brought it back, all cleaned and loaded with the old data. We had a pleasant night watching old holiday videos etc.
Hubby went onto the Internet............... and the adverts blocked the screen.

The nice man came from the shop, took it back, phoned us at the end of the next day to say it was fixed, he had been using it without problem. He brought it back.
Hubby went onto the Internet............... and the adverts blocked the screen.

I spoke to the nice man, he came back the next day and we both looked at the machine. it appears that the adverts hit some sites and not others. Fortunately that proved that we weren't going mad!!

The computer is now back at the shop, having the hard drive wiped !!

I have managed some bits between this and reading my books, a bit more work on the lace.

some more plying of old singles

and a bit of colouring for a colour-a-long on facebook.

The sun is shinning at the moment ( 8.45am) so if it stays fine I will go out for a walk later, maybe take my camera and see what I can find!


Have a great weekend x

Early morning thoughts

Hi, I've been awake since the early hours (it's 7.20 now) because my brain seems really overactive with ideas plus my eyes are itchy which is either early hayfever or the anisthetic drops from the optician yesterday.

The urge to sort out my workroom continues, yesterday I refound 30 or so coloured and water soluble pencils and some nice gel pens so I've ordered a large pencil case to house them all together. My paintbrushes have a new home and today I will go through my paint supplies.

I think this is all part of what turned my brain on as when I re find something, I want to use it and start to think of ideas and techniques etc. I'm really not sure what will happen when I start to sort out my sketchbooks! I suspect that my brain may simply explode!

The band of ukulele ladies has grown to 17, here are some of them, I have a couple of straps to finish over the next few days as well.

I'm also still enjoying the colouring books, it's giving me practise with  colour and technique although I have a long way to go. I've not really played around with paints and pens for quite some times and I'm quite rusty and sort of lazy when it comes to drawing something for myself.

However,  I am having lots of fun !!!!

Times now for coffee, have a great Sunday, will speak soon x
