1. Come on, look at my name. It may be the name I chose years ago, but the character of Spike (from BtVS) is still amazing ... love his story, his highs & lows ... and a great actor to portray it!

2. This is a Christmas card made by a friend. I loved the Val Kilmer version of Batman, and love Ewoks (neither of which Chis likes), but she drew this card of Val Kilmer as an Ewok ... but, didn't realise till she saw me open it, that he has 2 sets of ears ... But that just makes the card more special, and gives me a smile.

.... it's turned cloudy!  What happened to the sunshine?

Yesterday I had a nice lazy day, and did icons (as I ended up posting), and otherwise didn't do any more housework. Actually one other thing I did do was set up my Kindle ... yes, the new one has arrived. I wondered if they would just sort out the battery, or whatever, but no, I have a brand new one ... so that's great (another year of guarantee, and another year delayed before I will need to buy another one!!!)

Now it's the weekend ... I have pottered and lazily done jobs around the house (including moving out my heavy settee and hoovering around, so that was a great positive job and certainly one that doesn't get done regularily! Along the top are a load of teddies ... some are pressies to me, a couple are souveneirs, a couple were Mums ... and a couple were Jiffy. So it was nice to see them all individually and bring back memories.

Now it's late morning and I will soon need to get organised for lunch. Then this afternoon I am going to do a shortish walk, and come back via the shops ... yes, guess what, I need milk. (I drink a lot of tea, and have loads of milk on my cereal, so there always seems to be milk needed)

Then I shall be lazy, again.

But before I go -


15. What social stigma does society need to get over?
That history has happened ... sorry, but sad & bad things have happened. We need to remember the events, good & bad, and learn from them

16. What's the most creative use of emojis you've ever seen?
Don't think I have seen anything special


So, that's me done for the weekend ... hope you all have a great time, and will see you on Monday x

That was certainly a weird clinic.  All 5 of the males were really nice people ... and 2 brought consultants with them!  (One as his father, as the patient was 12, and the other as his daughter as he was in his 90's).  We had one patient who didn't know he had requested private treatment (well that was his theory ... even though he had been happy to get an early appt!!), and one who had surgery yesterday and told us 3 different operations ... so all in all a weird selection!  Still, it made the morning go rapidly!

The sun is out and I have just had a 2 mile walk around the local park (you have seen photos in the past Fridays).  It was so lovely I even enjoyed listening to Ghost Story (my least favourite of the Dresden Files)

Now I am here, complete with a cuppa, so this afternoon is going well.  Although I do have some housework I want to do ... I have received a couple of Easter cards, so thought I would dust that cabinet before I put them up.  I have done the other one, so at least I will be balanced - well my lounge cabinets will, any way!

However, before I dig the duster out I want to make a couple of icons (I realised earlier I didn't have a "cake" one), but before I start that -


30. What was the last book you read?

That could be one of 3 answers!

• This morning, as every morning I read The Bible (I am reading Genesis at present)


• In an evening I am re-reading the second part of the I Would Still Have Loved You verse by slaymesoftly


• Today, at work, in brief gaps I read a fourth part of a trilogy (yes, I know, that's weird!). Yesterday I read part #3, and then found that there was a part 4 ... Father's day ... the series has been about spies in the time of the Battle of Trafalgar

Well icons and dust are calling me!  Hope you are all having a good day x

Day 05 → talk about books this year

As ever have continued to read more Spuffy fan-fic.  There seem to have been a few new writers recently that has really given some great new stories.

I have been reading quite a lot of regency-style romances (like the Georgette Heyer style).  When I packed up all Mum & Dad's books there were a lot  I wanted to read, so while in chaos have downloaded loads onto my Kindle.  Come Christmas (I hope) I shall be able to get back to some proper sets of books again, for example I am looking forward to re-reading the whole Anne of Green Gables series.

I am hoping that the next Dresden Files will be done soon, as that is a series I am enjoying, and re-read the last 3 books this Spring.

Still like to start my day with a Bible reading, at present I am in Leviticus.

I have had my Kindle over two years and have just reised I can actually use it to get internet on .... I am just weird .... or slow .... or mad???

In fact I am typing this on my Kindle now.

Sorry if this is old news to everyone else!!!

Oh well .... back to Spuffy .... my real use for this gadget.

I enjoyed reading Ghost Story and catching up with Harry Dresden ... but now I'm back to work, I'm happier to be carrying my Kindle!

Does anyone have a Kindle - Tim & Claire got me one for Christmas, which I was actually given on Saturday - yes, I squeeeeed ... btu now am confused!

I thought i would be able to move fics off my hard drive onto it ... Can I?  And, if so, How?

Hoping someone can help!
