At Least The Rain Hasn't Arrived, Yet

debris4spikeYesterday I ended up having a productive day.
As you have already seen I posted some icons late afternoon, so that's one set ticked off the monthly list!
I also gave my sunlounge a good clean. I tend to use it over winter as a storage area, but over the last couple of weeks have been using it. However I realised it needed a good clean and tidy up, and that was done yesterday. As it was actually overcast I even gave the windows a clean, which is one of my least favourite tasks around the house.
This morning I have got some shopping done, so already done one of the tasks on my to-do list for today. I am hoping to get a short walk again later, as well.
Thought I would also share the post I have just put up on![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
photo_scavenger ... it's my month for thinking of prompts, and yesterday I decided this week should be "Q is for ...". I actually had a slight panic when I realised what I had challenged us all to find this week!
Then I remembered this book. One of my Grandmother's lived with us for a few years, and for my 21st birthday she gave me this book (& another) ... she did also give me a half sovereign, that she had been given new on her 16th birthday in 1908. The book, though, is dated 1874, which was 18 years before she was born.
I will admit I probably didn't even flick through the pages at the time. Maybe now I have taken it off it's shelf I should have a look through. The other book does still have the letter she wrote to me at the time, so that's super-special.
Right, I want to get a few more jobs around the house so ...
11. Have you ever won a prize for something?
Yes - I won a Lego competition when I was 10!!!!
When riding I got a lot of 2nds & 3rds for competitions at the riding school, but sadly never a 1st.
Right, I shall see what you have all been up to.

Date: 2025-03-13 10:47 am (UTC)I went and checked and at the front is a list of authors, and a list of 22 artists names ... but after the 22 names it actually says etc etc!!! So, maybe if you are lucky your name will be listed, if not, you are part of the etc etc.
