life...
Spring is here, although you wouldn't really know it. It's still cold but warmth will come again soon, believe in that.
In our garden we have a weeping cherry tree we planted three years ago. It is only a young tree, a little shorter than myself but it is one of my favorite because of what it symbolises. Soon the sun will warm it enough and it will come into blossom. Its pink flowers shed onto the garden like tears.
... then it will be summer.

i can't hold my coffee...
my hands hurt too much from weeding the patio yesterday (they are now coveered in blisters). It is amazing how huge gardens get when they need weeding. But it is done now anyway. And I think I caught the sun a bit too!
Also on Saturday I bought a load of crops for the garden, just need to plant them up and defend them from the slugs :( booo the slugs! this year in the garden we will have: lettuce, carrots, leeks, red onion, white onion, potato, peas, rhubarb, redcurrant (the birds usually eat these), apples, and possibly sweetcorn and sprouts.

another year older...
Hello, thank you all for your birthday wishes as I have now reached an age where people have stopped saying 'ooo, you are young' and instead say 'ooo, you are getting older now!'. Yesterday however the cows came of age too and 365 days after their conception celebrate their first birthday. I have drawn 103 little beasties so far! and have at least 50 more to draw too. I have a fancy new computer in work too! my old one was getting a bit grumpy when I pushed it too hard..
Office scandal! - Somebody brought in a load more mugs for everyone to use (we have a mug monster who eats them) One of which though was a Purple Ronnie mug about 'man bits'. That mug has now vanished following fits of women giggling and men blushing and having to 'check if it is suitable for the workplace'... fantastic. How old are we? nine?
oh well, ttfn!

compare the mirkin.com....
...isn't as simples as the little snotty meerkats lead you to believe! I hate looking for car/home/any insurance as you just seem to have to fill in the same forms again and again only to get some vague quote that you know perfectly well will shoot up when you speak to a real 'Indian' in Slough who has no idea what a '1.6 8v Astra' is and in their mind is picturing me driving a tuktuk :( The frightning thing is that car insurance is £400 for me and drops to £300 when I add Cath!?!?!?... confuse the meerkat...

you know what....
I really don't understand Twitter.
In all fairness to me I can get my head around some pretty complex stuff if I put my mind to it, but Twitter is a mystery.

rough day...
...today has been a bit of a nightmare following a design job that went to print and came back today - wrong :( Then starts the witch hunt of 'where did it go wrong?' and 'what do we do now?' etc etc... the job potentially would cost another £1100 to fix and eyes were looking at me despite my protests of it being the printer at fault. It was my word against theirs and i was annoyed. Nobody was blaming me as such but I knew what they were doubting me.
But thankfully at about 3pm this afternoon I spoke to someone at the printers who knew what they were talking about and they admitted that it was an error on their part. Relief. Witch caught.
You see I don't mind taking blame for something that is my fault, but when I haven't done anything wrong it really aggravates me...
anyway... my red ring has now cleared up! so this evening i have been able to do my part in ridding the world of terrorists and am looking forward to playing Halo Wars.
I am presently listening to Bonobo:
which has a pleasant Mighty Booshness about it... nice.

It is lookig to be a busy month ahead for me with potentially six websites, eleven postcards and at least one brochure to design... eek! (but a fun eek, I love stuff like this!) Also this month I need to get the veg patch planted!
