Flashing Lights

Very happy to see a line of green LEDs again.

~ A year ago today I was reading thrillers ~ 

Punch

Sitting on my desk today: a new paper punch. The old one died last week.

~ A year ago today I went out for breakfast ~

In With The New

And here's the shiny new appliance.

~ A year ago today I was having a bubble bath ~

Out With The Old

I've been using this scruffy old oven/mini kitchen for way longer than originally intended. And now - at last! - it's been replaced. I've moved it out of the kitchen and into the living room, and it will be gone forever soon.

~ A year ago today I found a flower in my garden ~

Fitting Room Four

I went shopping after work. Trying on clothes is one of my least favourite things to do. I lasted about ten minutes!

~ A year ago today I was playing with a clicker ~

Storage Box

A new hard drive I ordered online arrived today. First thing I did was a complete backup of my Documents folder. Still have to tackle the photographs.

~A y ear ago today I was driving past a construction site ~ 

Heating Pad

My colleague got me this electric hot water bottle / heating pad whatsit. It's a peculiar thing and the packaging is rather hilarious. I'm not sure at all sure how safe it is.

~ A year ago today I was looking at photographs of seagulls ~ 

Seals

I did a clean and tidy of the tupperware cupboard today.

~ A year ago today I'd lost a favourite CD ~ 

Tablet

 My new toy! 

~ A year ago today I was window-shopping ~ 

Shattered

My camera took a knock and this happened. Thank goodness it happened to the filter and not the lens itself.

~ A year ago today I tidied my desk ~ 

Autumn Cleaning

Today I started some long-overdue cleaning and tidying at home. I started with my kitchen drawers and went on to my grocery cupboards. This project will keep me busy for a while.

~ A year ago today the morning sky was beautiful ~ 

Zappem

My colleagues are having an absurd amount of fun with this electric fly swatter.
~ A year ago today I was enjoying a peach ~ 

Close to Empty

I've done a lot of driving in the last week or so. Must remember to fill up tomorrow.
~ A year ago today I was attending a tea party ~ 

Recharging

Cape Town has had power outages all day. Fortunately I wasn't affected. But when I got home I plugged in my camping lantern to make sure it's fully charged and ready to go, just in case I need it later.
~ A year ago today I was watching cooking shows ~ 

Retired Goods

A friend of mine regularly buys things off this website. I wish I'd seen these measuring cups before they'd sold as I would definitely have scooped them up. So cute!
~ A year ago today my cat was feeling better ~ 

Circuitboards

My colleague decided to dismantle a broken TV today. It was interesting to see what's inside the box.
~ A year ago today one of my succulents was in flower ~ 

New Gadgets

Today I bought two items for my kitchen that I have wanted for a while: an electronic scale and a julienne cutter.
~ A year ago today I was hanging out with my friends ~ 

Giant Screen

New gear in the office! Not mine, unfortunately. Coveting it big time though.
~ A year ago today I was trying a new product ~

Chat

I've used WhatsApp for a while now, but only just learnt about group chats. My friend Michele was using it today to update friends and family on her cat's health. It's a brilliant way of sharing information. Smartphones are awesome.
~ A year ago today we won an award at work ~ 

Clicker

My hands like to fiddle with things as I work. At my own desk I usually play with a clothes peg , but today I was busy at my colleague's desk for much of the day and got to fiddle with this whatsit.
~ A year ago today I was admiring some pretty roses ~
