The delight of blogging...

...is never knowing if anyone is actually reading your blog. I received one of my first commements yesterday about my netsuke collection, the commentor gave me some very useful information about the material that two of my netsuke are made from, information which I did not know. Thank you JL!

This is one of the reasons I started a blog in the first place.

Blog Hack...

It's taken me since the new year to finally crack the code on this new template...I've finally been able to swap out the header title and decription and replace it with an image of my choice and making!

looking forward to 2007...

While at Ian's this weekend we discussed things we'd like to do this year; places to visit, things we'd like to achieve personally that kind of thing. We had a frank and open discussion about our relationship and we talked about the possibility that I might actually move in this year.

We talked for a while about how that would work, would I travel to Sheffield from Leeds everyday? Would I still in Penistone some nights? I also discussed with him the possibility of changing my job for one in Leeds and how that would work.

The only thing that is stopping me from becomming determined to do it this year, is that he's still so bloody house proud and still occasionally makes me feel as though I shouldn't be there.

I know it's because for years he lived in a place that wasn't his and that he didn't feel like he was in control...blah blah blah, but I'm not going to be treat the same as he was..and I think he now understands.

We agreed to discuss it again soon. We'll see.

Time to switch fragrances...

...a friend of mine has just emailed me with this advert for the new fragrance from Paco Rabanne "BlackXS".

Even if I don't like the new smell....I do like the advert!!

The 1st of 2007...

...quite literally.

Well the new year is here and it's time to set those new year resolutions...

...nah, I'd only break them anyway.

I got home about 5pm from Ian's this afternoon with all good intensions of getting most of my ironing done ready for work tomorrow, but I haven't even looked at it yet.

I've resisted the urge to stand on the bathroom scales to see how much weight I've put on over the Xmas period because I know It'll only depress me.

The first thing I did was to add my new music onto the laptop and check out what emails I've had, which wasn't interesting, just junk stuff as per usual.

I haven't even unpacked my bag yet...well I suppose I'd beter make a move as the clock downstairs has just chimed 7pm...which means I've now only 3 hours left to do my ironing...
