Quiet….

Still very quiet here, still relaxing (mostly). I’m still working on updating three websites, and also thinking hard about changing the Oakleaf Circle site over to a CMS.
At least twice in the past, I’ve attempted to do this but had to abandon the effort. However, since then I’ve had more practice using WordPress as a CMS, I’ll try again. At the very least, it should eliminate all the effort of checking for missing closing divs each time I add something to the calender or the links, which I was doing constantly yesterday; if I hadn’t checked, the site would have been an incoherent mess. So that’s what I’ll be doing until some work comes along.

Or until the money that people owe us arrives. Reading what friends and family have been getting for Crimbo has put me in a decidedly teeth-gnashing mood. At least two friends have got shiny new computers (one with a tetrabyte HD!!) and a granddaughter has a new laptop (which I suppose would have made my planned £25 gift voucher for her look a bit naff, so maybe it’s best I couldn’t afford even that…). Meanwhile I sit here at my 6-year old single-core CPU, half-gig RAM machine wondering when it’s going to crash again.

Oh well, things could be worse. The fire is roaring, B has made some delicious bread which I will toast for lunch, the car actually started this morning. It’s cold, but not snowing.

Yes, time for some lunchie-poos…..
