Virtual Office Monday 24th August...

Who was a good little bunny, and got up early, and was at her desk and working actually before nine o'clock this morning? Me, that's who! And who has been working through all that time, and yet is only just about to start on the actual bit of the job that I get paid for...? *sighs* - me...

On the bright side - rain! Relative cool! So much nicer than the nasssty 28.8C that we had on Saturday, all humid and heavy with wanting to rain but not quite managing it... I did nip down to Stourhead for a wander around the gardens, cos I'm usually up in the house and yet it's famous for its gardens. Oddly few flowers, though the lake was nice of course - and there's already an autumnal tree by the pantheon (which I'll be conservation cleaning later this week, btw, as a change... *g*)

Sunday was all quiet and tucked-up-inside, which I hadn't meant to do, but was nice. I was going to go to Bath and splash out on a new camera, because all the way around Stourhead I wanted to take better pictures - but... laziness. And then I remembered this morning that the current cashback offer runs out on... ack, Wednesday! So if I'm gonna do it, 'twere best 'twere done quickly... i.e. tomorrow. Which means getting on with work again after this posting-break...

But there was writing this weekend too - yeay (including a next installment for the still-ongoing discoveredinalj Round Robin Challenge *g*). And writing-research. And I finally watched Tripod tells the Story of Tosswinkle the Pirate (Not Very Well) and it was every bit as good as I was expecting. *g* Meanwhile, have a Lonesome Gregarious Cowboy to cheer up Monday morning...

Did you have a good weekend?

I am swiping one of your pictures for my computer wallpaper, if I may? :-) The fourth one, of the water through the trees, is gorgeous. Well, they are all gorgeous, but that one in particular.

Of course you may - what a lovely thought, that the pic is going to good use! *g* If only I'd had my proper camera, it could have been even more so... *sighs* It was lovely and calm there - maybe I need to gaze on the pic a bit actually, cos right now the Christian festival up the road is doing my head in with its pounding bass as I'm trying to work. It's 11am on a Monday morning, people - tone it down! If it's not done by 11.30, I'm seriously going to be driven from my house/desk/office... grrrr!

So your question has definitely cheered me up. *g*

Festival? On a Monday? at 11 in the morning? with super-bass?? Oh, that's just WRONG, not to say incredibly RUDE. Thinking peaceful quiet thoughts for you!

And it's raining! Why can't they go indoors like normal Monday morning people - they ain't Glastonbury...! *sighs* Was bad enough in the evenings. For the last three weeks. *sighs* I shall try to be patient a bit longer though - tomorrow seems to be the last day... *crosses fingers*
