byslantedlightWell here's exciting - I seem to have finally woken up without a headache again. Next time I decide that a little experiment in dairy foods is in order, I must remember that previous results advise no, no no! I only just managed to remember my 366 photos on a couple of the days, but I did...
Saturday 20th August - the night garden (aka the-one-I-nearly-forgot-to-take)
Sunday 21st August - thought I'd see if I could get my typewriter working again, for distraction-free writing. The carriage is broken, and a bit of googling reminded me that I'd had problems with the drawstring. A bit more googling suggested that I was missing the entire mainspring, which is what the string attaches to. Bugger. I loved my typewriter. I don't remember taking the spring off, mind, but perhaps I did. Have a strange feeling it may be difficult to find a replacement...
Monday 22nd August - saw the pretty sunset through a haze of I-can't-work headache, and realised I'd almost forgotten to take a picture again. So, sunset.
Tuesday 22nd August - too the day off properly and rearranged work as far as possible, which wasn't very far. Pleeeeease may headache be gone tomorrow...
Wednesday 24th August - headache still not properly gone, but dulled enough that I managed to work. And remember just in time to take a photograph. *headdesk*
Meanwhile it's also been hot (still is a bit, and muggy cos it rained, though there's a bit of coolness in the air - I'm up for autumn, now!), and... nope, I think that's it. Headaches and hot. A swallow got trapped at my window yesterday - inside. Oh - I did pick up my fiddle again, two days in a row, after months and months of not. Was impressed to find my fingers working much better on it than I expected them too - such clever memories fingers have. *g*
Oh - and Ripper Street is back (hurrah!), and Poldark soon, and I actually watched The Great British Bake-Off last night, cos I felt like some pointless fluff that had very little possibility of being important, mean or dishonest. I don't usually like shows where they set people in competition with each other and encourage them to be spiteful and unkind, but that doesn't seem to happen in Bake-Off. Plus the cakes are pretty. *g* And then I watched a programme about British skies, which turned out to be about people in them, but I was lazy and kept watching and it was quite interesting/entertaining (and also lacked unkindness, so yeay). *g*
I shall try and catch up on replies (again) in between bouts of much-work-catching-up today. But how're you doing...? *g*

Date: Thursday, 25 August 2016 09:47 am (UTC)We're back from Vienna and Austria, unpacking is done, now cleaning and washing and putting away is about to happen.
Hardly wifi at the campsites, amazing, but Austrias Campingtourism is just about to get going, not that much to be had yet.
I am planning to take my flist on a belated virtual holiday, just a plan yet, though. *g*
Great that you have so clever fingers! I thought about your archery a few times now, don't know what triggered it.
Now it's outside into the heat and sun to gather the airing sleeping backs and to hang the first load of washing to dry.

I hope the headache buggers off and stays buggered off - nasty useless thing.

Thought a wander to a con might help your headache recovery, if you now have any time with re-negotiating your work. Rats to 'heads', I say!
Take care

Date: Friday, 26 August 2016 07:24 pm (UTC)Love your beautiful sky photos, especially the one with the Thin Red Line. I don't think I've ever seen a sky quite like that. Ta for sharing!
This week I've been vegging out with the DVDs of Versailles and loving every minute of it. Sooo good! :-)
