debris4spike... And another few days missed.
As ever time got away from me. I ended up working over the weekend, so life was hectic. Add to that how hot it was I ended up being lazier than I should have been. So, yesterday when I got up, I decided housework needed to be done before I went into work. Yes I was going to drop in here, but really thought I should be a "good girl" and at least now my lounge is clean.
One thing I did manage to do over the weekend was make a couple of icons. I only have a basic art program on the work pc, so not great, but still I had fun. These are from the 1952 version of "The Importance of Being Ernest" and are with a theme of "Victorians".

I have some more icons to make in the next couple of days ... and I also have the final post of my birthday trips, so am going to get on.
Before that -
11. Have you ever used an old-fashioned typewriter? Can you touch type (type without looking at the keys?)
All my patient’s notes (when I was an osteopath) were written on A4 by hand … but were all in envelopes, that I typed the name & address on the top right-hand quarter.
No, I tried learning to touch-type when I was between jobs … but couldn’t get it at all. Ironically, of my parents, my Dad was the one who could touch-type! He taught himself when he was studying for his exams pre-Theological College. He then re-trained when he was doing his PhD.
12. Do you like sushi?
No (I don’t like fish at all anyway!!)
13. Have you ever tried Tai Chi?
No – certainly not for me.
14. Do you enjoy mocktails/cocktails? What’s your favourite?
Love them. There are very few I don’t like, although would prefer not to have a Mahato. My favourites are Aperol Spritz and Moscow Mule.
15. When was the last time you saw any bees?
Yesterday – I walked into my back garden to hang out a towel to air, and they were around the flowers.
Right, I will try and keep up ... But there again, I have said that before!!
See you soon.
