What I've been doing

wellinghallWell, I don't seem to have done anything in particular this week, but at the same time I've been pretty busy. Work has, of course, taken up a reasonable chunk of that time, with two meetings on Thursday, and a five-hour one with my dotted line boss from Preston on Friday - that left me feeling pretty drained, I can tell you.
The weekend seems to have brought with it its usual crop of chores, if not more than usual - the washing, in particular had mounded up.
I've done some reading this week - PG Wodehouse (A Pelican at Blandings) and Oscar Wilde (The Picture of Dorian Gray). Yesterday, I watched Queen's Greatest Video Hits, Volume 1, and in the evening (after the appalling Doctor Who) we watched Buster Keaton in The Navigator. Dinner itself was nice - the main course was spaghetti bolognese (sans tomatoes, due to my dicky tummy), followed by an absolutely delicious blackberry pie. And for breakfast we had blueberry muffins, with fresh orange juice today :-)
I sold some of the things that I put up on eBay - enough to make an awkwardly large stack to take round to the post office - but some didn't sell, including a few of the lots that I thought would be snapped up. I'll take some more photos later today, then re-list them.
One thing we have been doing is planning our trip to Orkney in September. Although we haven't actually booked anything yet, we are planning to fly from Luton to Aberdeen, then take the ferry to Orkney, and do the same coming back down. After a night in Kirkwall (because the ferry doesn't get in until 11), we'll be flying on to North Ronaldsay for a couple of days, to watch birds; then fly back to the Mainland (ie the main island), and stop at Woodwick House in Evie for a week and a half.
We're also going to Swaffham in Norfolk in July, for our tenth wedding anniversary. And now I'd better get off, as I've phone calls to make.
