    It is halfway through Tuesday, and I have finally caught up on my email. I only took 4 days off last week!

  • Froggy Update

    Still no sign of lost froggy. Kim spent most of yesterday tracing her route around Swansea on the day they lost froggy with a map and the yellow pages. She rang every possible shop and lost property office, asking about froggy. Everyone was incredibly kind and understanding, leaving the phone to hunt shelves and distant…

    As requested, a photo of the other room’s floor, which I finished on Friday. Again, I just need to do the edging. The hifi is going to get a high quality rack, and we’ll need to buy some leather arm chairs to go in here one day. It’s nice to have the flooring to one…

    Jack has lost his frog. It is his favourite cuddly toy, and his constant companion, but he dropped him somewhere in Swansea town centre. So far, he’s not as perturbed as I thought he would be – I don’t think that he truly believes froggy is lost. Froggy has found his way home before now.…

    Kim’s blubbing away to Home and Away, Jack’s in bed, and I’m a bit bored. I’m very tempted to check my email, but I know that will take me back into work mode, so I’ll stay clear. My gaming PC is dead and I’m bored of the internet for 5 minutes. What to do….. catch…

    My current DIY project: laying an oak floor in the entrance hall and the downstairs reception room. I’ve pretty much completed this room now (the entrance hall) except for some edging. It took most of the weekend, but was a very enjoyable job. I like a bit of woodwork and it looks stunning, so I…

  • No Snow

    The snow actually left sooner than predicted – most of it had gone by the end of Wednesday. There’s still some around on westward facing slopes and hills, but not a lot. There are no signs of the threatened second dump on Friday either, and the mild weather is moving in this weekend. I’m hoping…

  • Welsh Snow

    Snow in Wales is so fleeting – notoriously so in North Wales, where plans for a winter weekend become plans for a wet weekend when the wind changes direction. I feel like I should get out and do something in it, like take Jack sledging, build a snowman, walk in the Brecons or explore Gower.…

    Warning, Lost spoilers below! This is probably old news to most of you, but I’ve been getting into the TV series Lost recently. If you’ve watched it you’ll know that it’s not just a series about people stranded on a desert island, but that it’s about a bunch of people stranded on a very, very…
