I've lent my laptop to a friend who is away at a conference and I am using a full sized puter.It would be better if his keyboard wasn't worn out and a lot of the keys are unlabled.
I've used a laptop for years and find a desktop a bit awkward,mostly because I can't lie down to use it.
Also, a mouse,ugg, makes my wrist ache.
So ,I expect my typing to be worse than normal, especially any word that involves W,A,S,D,L,or T .

No,I didn't spend it drinking.



I watched all the 3 day eventing,so for once ,I know why I wasn't on the internet much.
When I used to ride,I did some one day eventing which is the baby version.The course I rode had an earthwork hill on it.Not quite as big as the Hickstead Hill but about 10 feet high.Once,I was riding a pony called Toffee who reared on the top and walked down it on his hind legs.
It was our recycling table weekend and I scored a brand new pair of bright pink Converse Allstars minus one lace which is easy enough to fix and an old copper vase which will clean up a treat.Lance found some grear boards for his art too..
Turned on my puter this morning and it wouldn't start so I ran a repair which fixed it.However that borked my Adblock which is annoying.

I've had a few days rationing my time on the net and catching up with reading.I got a couple of books from our exchange scheme and found a book I'd bought from Oxfam and never read because it had fallen behind a cupboard.
That one was The Tale Of Murasaki by Liza Dalby which is a supposed autobiography of the author of The Tale Of Genji which is a Japanese classic which I love.It's quite interesting.
The other two were 44 Scotland Street by the author of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books which was amusing and a book by Alan Bennett about his family.I don't think he's very well known outside the UK but he's very witty and wrote the play that The Madness Of King George is based on.
Also,I'm filling out a huge form about my M.E. for the hospital to decide what help I can get,so that may be some sort of progress I guess.

I've got confused again about what day it is. I went to a doctor's leaving party yesterday.I couldn't stay long but ate some yummy blueberry muffins.
Then I went to the local recycling project for new plates.I keep dropping them with my wibbly hands and I'd done for all but two.I found five quite nice ones for 20p each then I found a Pyrex casserole dish for £1 which is cool because I do make a lot of casseroles,hotpots etc.
Of course,carrying them home took forever because I had to keep stopping to rest,seriously,I can't even carry a few plates.
I don't look in the mirror much but I clawed my face last week with stress.At the doctors people were looking at me funny,and I realised I had huge scabs on my right cheek.
The weather is very changeable,one day it's shirt sleeves warm,the next grey and drizzly.
I made bolognaise sauce for tea,my version is spicy,so it was good in this damp and dull weather.
The Dbacks on the road went 4 and 5,I'm OK with that..
The cute ponies are there just to cheer things up.

This is the blog I was going to write.My BF's mum got me this perfume for my birthday.It smells of citrus and sandalwood.
Sadly,yesterday I had to have my cat Shoeless Joe put down when he suddenly became very ill.I was with him till the end and brought him back from the vets.

He was buried under the new lavender hedge with a glass of wine and twopence for the ferryman.

THIS JUST IN: Comfort Dogs Headed To Boston
APRIL 16, 2013 by BRINKE
This MSN story says K-9 Parish Comfort Dogs are soon headed to Boston in the aftermath of the terrible bombing. Quoting the story, “The golden retrievers were brought to Newtown, Conn., to provide comfort to people of the community after the shootings. ‘Dogs are nonjudgmental. They are loving. They are accepting of anyone. It creates the atmosphere for people to share,’ said church president Tim Hetzner.”

Because I don't work,the weekends are not mad busy for me.I shop in the week because it's quieter and easier for me.I don't go out at night or even for a lunchtime drink.I don't do anything.But still,I find I'm not been keeping up with blogs at the weekend on the puter.
Today,I found over 500 notifications awaiting my attention.Luckily ,a quick glance showed that a lot were photos on Facebook mostly from people who went to the baseball games at the weekend,
So I missed posting over the weekend.Still,I have NO idea what I did instead.
The rhubarb is because I have rhubarb pie to eat ,nom,nom,nom. It's so pretty,jewel-like when cooked and decorative in the garden.We have rhubarb in our communal garden which I pick later in the year to make rhubarb crumble.
I have found out that my useless landlords have opened a Twitter account.I'm having fun asking them awkward questions on a public forum.

A rollercoaster few days have gone by.I had some very bad news about my closest friend's family.

I had to go and sign on at the Job Centre on Tuesday.It's such a farce. Even my advisor doesn't believe I can find work I'm fit to do.
I was in such pain by the time I walked there ,I had a total melt down.Just crying and making ugg ugg ugg noises instead of speaking.She suggested I re-apply for full disability AGAIN because I have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome ,and said they wouldn't call me in for a few months. The whole situation is ludicrous.
My internet went down on Wednesday,and I missed a Dbacks victory,
Today,my BF went to town and brought me back a birthday present.I have one of those Pandora bracelets that you keep adding beads to.He bought me a silver bead made in the shape of a tiny snake coiled round.I was so pleased with it.
So a bit of an up and down week,
