OK, I'm happy again. Last night just after I blogged we had the most amazing thunderstorm. Loads of lightening and it went on for ages. I love storms. Dave and I were standing on my desk just under the skylight in our loft conversion watching it with all the lights off and the Kill Bill soundtrack still playing. Very cool. After a while it occurred to us that perhaps we should turn off the PCs. And also that maybe the highest point of the house, right in the roof, wasn't the most sensible place to stand in case of the house getting struck by lightening. LOL. So I relocated downstairs and attempted to take pictures of the lightening. Got one reasonably cool one. Blurry, but not too bad considering I wasn't using a tripod.
As well as being grumpy, I am also dopey. I am working my way through the dwarves :-) I am a total idiot. Someone posted a message on the BFFM group asking about the slide on the Accu-Measure callipers. That would be the slide that moves when you use them, and then points to the correct measurement. I had not been using it but just trying to perform strange contortions to take the reading while still pinching my hip fat. Duh!!!!! Using the callipers properly makes me 31% instead of 33%. Woo hoo!! In other happy news the scales today told me that I had lost 2 pounds, so things are definitely moving in the right direction.
Dave found the coolest website with optical illusions and stuff on there. The dragon illusion is *wicked*. Print him off and get yourself a moving desk pet!
Yes, I need to do more work :-)
