We always have chocolate biscuits at work on a Friday.
Today we also had cakes, chocolates and sweeties...
Impossible to diet in my job!

I finally got hold of water colours! I used to be so into this about 10 years ago... but when my mother confiscated them and I got sick of hiding my work from her, well I sort of stopped...

I've started working on it again; I need better brushes, and a lot of practice... but I'm so happy to be back at this!

My cats are all doing better! Especially 'little' Findus! He's eating like there's no tomorrow!

Yay!
I got a late Xmas/early birthday gift from my son yesterday:
A cute cat bag and a set of Sherlock themed pencils.

It's a good day when you wake up to hearing that your website has been featured on the national news in Canada! (It's an even better day when you also took a day off from work, and the sun is shining.)

I just got handed back one of my assignments, one that I really stressed about because it's on a subject that really interests me.

I got it back and I got a Distinction (equivalent to an A)!!!

Congratulations Rebecca! You have all the reason to be proud of that; I'm proud of you!! Way to go!!

I just picked up 4,5kg of catfood for my cats! I seem to win every contest I enter on facebook!

I'm proud of my myself too because it's such a difficult subject to tackle!!

Lovely to read all your good news - well done everyone
I just booked tickets for a play I want to see in London. I wasn't going to, because theatre tickets are quite pricey now and the boyfriend isn't that keen on plays to be honest.
Then I thought, to heck with it, I could do with cheering up, and I support all my boyfriend's interests so it won't hurt him to come along - he's being OK about it, to be fair

How lovely, besley! How do they look like? I'm so fond of pencils myself

They have Sherlock quotes on:
I'm a high functioning sociopath
Think, it's the new sexy.
I don't have friends.

What a wonderful gift - they look just great!

**Posted by besleybean** March 10, 2014 5:17 pm

Too nice to use, though!

**Posted by Davina** March 11, 2014 10:25 am

Frame them!

I am so blessed!
Today I returned from a trip out with 2 classes of school kids.
As we entered the buildingl, I noticed a pile of lovely books sitting at the school office. I quickly spotted one of them was The Return of Sherlock Holmes.
I leaned over the desk and half jokingly said to the secretary: Nice books. I would like that Sherlock Holmes one.
She laughed and replied: sorry, they are a donation for the school library.
Half an hour later, I was on duty in the medical room when the deputy head walked in.' Here,'she said, 'present for you.'
And handed me the book!
