Blue, blue, electric blue

Well, the sun is not quite as bright as it was but it's still a lovely day. Makes such a difference when the weather is good. Does to me, anyway.

Am sat in the office more or less on my own at the moment. The rest of the team all sit on the other side of the big open-plan office, so I am here like a sad Billy no-mates.

We are currently packing everything into huge crates prior to our move to the other end of the building later in the week. I need to get my stuff crated up by lunchtime on Thursday, and move all my bits and bobs to the new desk by then as well, because I will be away after that for a week and a bit.

The building is mostly empty and very untidy and rather depressing as a result, what with all the empty desks and cupboards, and huge trolleys full of junk to be either sent for recycling, thrown away or moved to a new home. And we are trying to carry on with the day job in amongst it all.

Can't wait for my holiday.

In honour of the impending WithaY travels, I treated myself to some new nail varnish (Jessica's "Out All Night") in a fetching shade of electric teal/blue, which is a bit alarming. I might restrict it to toes only. I keep catching glimpses of my fingernails and going "Wow, that is bright."

Will look fab by the pool.

Gaps

No, not between my ears. Between posts.

Either my life has got even less eventful and interesting than before (can you imagine such a thing?) or I am getting lazier about blogging.

Hmm, shall we have a think about that?

I remember reading* that the average life of a blog is about 6 months. Well, this one has been going since March last year so is slightly over that. Hurrah for me.

I think it might be that I am getting a fair bit of feedback from people about what appears here, so it could be making me think a bit more about what I write.

Or I might just be really lazy.

Anyway, enough of that.

Made some more scones today which worked nicely, so hurrah for that. Other than that little burst of domesticity, the big activity of the day has been painting my toenails purple. But, as my Mum said, at least I can still reach them. Can't see them when I stand up, but I know they're there.

Also, took down all the Christmas decorations yesterday, so the sitting room feels huge without a tree in the corner.

And Mr WithaY met our neighbours' new labrador puppy. 8 weeks old and as cute as a button, apparently.

Ah, puppies. And on that heartwarming thought, I'm off for some chicken jambalaya.
