Hello from Brighton!

I am sat in the office of the lovely Aisling, in Brighton. Yay!

I left Shropshire at 10:45am, and after two stops arrived at 4:30pm. That’s a lot of driving (aka a lot of sitting in road works.) But, the good news is that because I couldn’t get Google Maps to work on my phone I’ve partially completed one of my 30 before thirty list items (travelling across the country without a satnav or map). Yay positives!

Anyway, so I’m in Brighton for the BrightonSEO conference, which will probably form the basis of my blog entry tomorrow because yay, saves me having to think of another topic!

(There’s a lot of yays going on…)

After the conference Aisling and I will be travelling to Gloucester — road trip! — to meet up with Katy and Gaz so that we can do the Great Highnam Court Run on Saturday. Or rather, Katy and I will be running and Aisling/Gaz will be photographing, or throwing nakd bars at us, or something. Fun stuff.

Yay!

She was – still is – very attached as a child and I thought that having to share me, especially after she weaned unexpectedly during my pregnancy, would be really hard on her. (I’ve probably… read full entry »

I Bee Appreciated

I’ve been feeling a bit rough today, what with a possible cold slowly approaching and the knowledge that I have far too much on — ‘socially’; that’s before I take into consideration what I have to do for work — and no motivation to do to it, so imagine how cheerful it made me when… read full entry »

quilting bee club

I was updating my qbee quilt last night and it got me thinking: it’s the only online ‘thing’ that I’ve ever really stuck to. I’ve been and gone at forums, often forgetting my login names or forgetting they even exist.. never sticking to affiliate/surfing programs and heaven knows what else. Yet, here I am, a… read full entry »
