I Took a Picture

My sleep patterns are currently all over the place and I'm struggling to move, so there's not been much to post about. The highlight of the week was a new phone case.

I have a serious weakness for impulse buys. At the moment I'm craving new curtains in the study as I'm sick of these, and there's nothing wrong with them. It would feel wrong to get stuff just for the sake of it. I'm also getting bored of our plates, especially after seeing Cherie's pretty china serving dishes, but while my tableware is getting a little scratched up, it doesn't need replacing yet. I'm trying to stay strong. I think that I was right to get a new phone case, though.

Part of the case kept drooping over the camera lens and made it even harder for me to take pictures and that was the push to replace it. It's seen sterling service, and as it was extremely inexpensive, I suppose I shouldn't grumble. I got this as a replacement.

It's from the same eBay seller and was inexpensive, had good customer service and will be easy to find in a dark handbag. And while the old case may be incredibly beaten up, the phone is still in good condition. There are no scratches or dents despite my habit of dropping it, shoving it in pockets and bags and into corners when it's charging. I'd rather the phone case get battered than the phone. 

Today has been stormy, rainy and miserable. There have been people working on the roof of the house next door but one. I've been on pins all day. I don't know what's going on but whenever I've limped past the window, there's been a roofer's van abandoned in the middle of the road as they work. It's just as well I can't go out. I'd never get the car past them. It's hard to be annoyed with them, though, when I'm worrying about their safety. 

Writing stuff - I posted the latest instalment of the Guest on the writing blog on Monday here. I've also been having a rummage (because I should be doing other stuff) and I've found some stories starring Kane that never made it to the blog. I even found some stories that were on the blog but never ended up on the collection page (I've added them and it's here, if you're interested). Having lost a couple of fun articles that I wrote as a guest on a blog and failed to save, I'm considering bunging them into a book, like I am with the White Hart, just to make sure that I can't lose them easily. I'd like to know what you'd think about that. I wouldn't be able to put the ebook on Amazon if I kept Kane's stories live on my blog, but there are other places to post them. 

Hugs and good health to all.
