Bank Holiday Monday

Funny to think how much a bank holiday meant to me when I was trapped in the 9-5 rat race. My whole life was squeezed into weekends, evenings and a few luxurious bank holidays. That was definitely not living, that was existing.

I am so glad I can work from home. My whole life is mine now, every single minute of it. That is not to say I don't work hard, I certainly do but I enjoy it and that makes a big difference.

It was a lovely sunny day today, proper spring weather. I gave my cactus plants their first watering since they started their dormant phase last October. Despite my efforts of a couple of weeks ago, they are still suffering badly from mealy bug (horrid little creatures!)and I had to squash some of the bigger ones. I'll have to get the meths out again and have another purge.

I have agreed to enter a writing project with an American "pen pal". I don't know what form it will take yet, what it will be about or how we will achieve it. We have never met, never spoken and don't know each other apart from our strange correspondence. All we have between us is words (and possibly slight insanity). It is looking as if we might do a joint blog of some sort. I have been looking at other people's blogs. Some of them are so serious, others are just pure advertising, I like having a blog to use as a diary/confessional. (A blog is good because it does not have the pre-printed dates to reproach one when days have ben left with no entries.) The diary of a mad webmistress! Well, why not? There is too much seriousness in the world.
