debris4spikeOver the last few days it has been rain, and more rain. Not necessarily super cold yet, by the evening it means it's cold and gets dark early. So, September has arrived ... yes, England does need the rain, but it would have been nice to have a longer summer.
Still at least working means that I am not thinking of other places i could be, instead!
Work yesterday was good ... quite busy, so the time went quickly. One of the volunteers (who should be in this afternoon) had been rushed into A&E, so it's always hard when you know someone who is going through the emergency process.
I have more icons to make, before work, so .....
3. Do you like trying new things? What’s the last new thing you tried (a craft, a new food, a new activity or something else)?
I tend to be "boring" ... so I suppose the last thing I tried was when I learned to fence at age 40.
4. Peter Mark Roget was born in 1779 and wrote the ‘Thesaurus of English Words and Phrases Classified and Arranged so as to Facilitate the Expression of Ideas and Assist in Literary Composition”. Roget’s Thesaurus has never been out of print – have you ever used a thesaurus?
Yes ... and I still do.
Dad showed it to me when I was about 9 for the first time.
5. It’s International Day of Charity – do you regularly (or occasionally) donate to any local or National charities?
I have half a dozen that are on DD ... I have a couple I send to on my brithday and at Christmas
Over the next few days I am actually working different hours, so I won't be around until Saturday ... see you then x
