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 [livejournal.com profile] 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?

Thank you for the heads up on the Round Robin story - can't wait to read it and yes I will be looking for yours especially [lol]. Had a horrendous day. On my way home from the dentist where I had a tooth pulled [erk] I was then hassled by some strange bloke in black at the station - 3 times before I finally asked for help from the station crew who were watching it all unfold on the monitors. Scared him off only to discover he lives in a street not far from me! Where are the lads when I need 'em?...Kiashi

The story's not quite finished yet - we're working on it! *g*

Erk for your horrendous day though, that sounds horrid! Hope your tooth at least won't give you any bother now - and the strange bloke too... Hopefully he just thought you looked nice and didn't know how to deal with that, and you're not too fretted by it all...
