Took Arty to school this morning while the other three [angels] slept. Even though he enjoys school, I felt so sorry for him going back while they have another week and a bit holiday.
I was sent to boarding school when I was 11 while my brother stayed home and went to day school. [Aaaahhhh!]
I hated knowing that the rest of my family were all at home and knew that I was sure to be missing something good. [I know now that I probably wasn't, but it felt like it at the time.]

I'm a little disappointed as i was going to upload a new groovy blog design today but i'm not totally happy about it's appearance in some older browsers, so it's on hold 'til i get things fixed [or do something else completely which is probably more likely.]

I did however manage to finish and upload this week's linkware set:
The Day We Touched the Stars [which does look ok in most browsers!]

This week's blog is looking a bit thin on the ground huh?
I have so many other projects 'on the go' that squeezing this in at the end of each day isn't easy. I've also spent around 3 hours tonight searching for a particular image to finish a project i'm doing. Didn't find it so very frustrated and will have to start again tomorrow.

btw: Charlie's just visiting from here.

Well, this is a very watered-down version of what i wanted to do but that layout looked even more of a joke [in Netscape] than the April Fool set I put up last week. It may stay, or I may do something else again. We'll see.
At the moment it suits my victorian/goth mood - look out for next week's linkware set - it has a similar feeling [hint hint!!]
Been searching [again] for my elusive image and found a couple of great period costume sites on my travels. If you're interested in the subject as I am, they have lots of great info, pics & resources.

La Couturière Parisienne Costume and Fashion Site

The Costumer's Manifesto

Technically it's Sunday [2.34am] but i've been out to dinner and got in late. The evening was to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the last dinner on the Titanic [if that doesn't sound too macabre.] We had a 12 course [really] meal, which lasted well over five hours so i'm feeling fat, bloated and don't want to see food again. EVER. It was a lovely evening with great company, and nice to have some adult conversation and humour for a change.
The only slight blip on the evening was just as we were about to leave home [me late & disorganized as usual] and i couldn't find my favourite evening jacket. The last time i wore it was sometime over Christmas and i can only think that i got a little [a lot] merry and left it somewhere. I hate losing stuff and it always seems to be something i really like.
Will search again tomorrow. [Today.]

Finished and uploaded this weeks linkware: Ooh-La-La! along with the next couple of weeks sets too. (Girl - you're on a roll! :) )I thought about putting them all up at once but decided I may hit a design slump next week and be in dire need of something to upload! I also really must get on with the new site which seems to keep getting pushed to the back of the design queue. (Do you think my subconscious is trying to tell me something. Like, it's a bad idea???????)
