just stuff
random stuff, really.
Got the new smoothie maker - went for same one as last time in the end for various reasons. Still like the look of the really cheap one (and yes, Jo, I did consider buying 2 of them!) but on looking around the internet, the Hinari seems to be the most robust, adn it needs to be robust!
Signed up to Graze to see if healthy snacks could become a habit. Will post up my "tell a buddy code" when I rediscover where I put it safe. It gets you £1 off a box, adn the same for me too. We liked our first box (came today) and, although they aren’t cheap, they aren’t bad value all things considered. I may consider getting stacks of small tubs and doing similar once we have tasted our way round all the various delicious mixes but actually, it would be an awful waste of money to buy packets of all the different bits and bobs to find we don’t like some - this way we get nice little tastes of different stuff. She has rather got a liking for yogurt covered peanuts it seems. Not to mention a fondness for "picasso nuts" (once she realised you don’t eat the shells!!!!!) but she wasn’t keen on Japanese crackers - and I can take them or leave them to be fair - so we’ve crossed them off our list.
I’ve written pages of notes that I need to convert to mind maps as part of my revision process. I’m never sure if it’s the making the maps or the looking at them taht does the trick. Either way, they work. Still think it’s not quite right taht I needed to pull out a text book from a previous course to make sense of one big chunk of this course though. And it’s not like the other one is one that you need to have done before being allowed on this one.
Aprilia has done learning stuff of various kinds. She offered to read me a bedtime story about 2 hours ago but I was in a revision chat (whilst chatting to Duke on FB) so I had to decline. Will be glad to get my evenings back. ONly 1 week to go.
Had the pleasure of a visit from Uncle Curly yesterday. Very unexpected. Very pleasant to see him and chat in comfort rather than it being at the side of a race track! Aprilia cuddled him damned near into insensibility, she really does do good cuddles!
Have had to admit defeat and put heating on, house just too damned cold when it’s damp - the downside of tiled floors throughout downstairs laid straight onto concrete. Who stole my summer?
