Keeping in touch across the miles

Happy 1st of April! Anyone April fool you? We started the day with clouds and then rain after a month of glorious sunshine. Oh well! The sun is out now. Mother’s Day here on Sunday, Dave and I had a drive out into the country around Basingstoke. We found some lovely villages made up of…

Shower room is now officially finished with my trademark Roman Blind installed at the window. I think it looks cool – it is done in blues, with a yellow blind made out of one of those Indian scarfs with a fringe and those little mirrors on one edge. I cannot believe the weather, it has…

The weather’s been really great here the past few days. I wish it would stay like this (15 degrees) all summer. I heard this morning, however, that we’re in for another long, hot summer. Ugh. Global warming = more extreme weather conditions = no spring or fall = very unhappy Christina. I love spring and…

Figured it was a while since I last wrote. I have been busy decorating the shower room. Still have to finish it off, but it is looking good. Different shades of blue in an attempt to make it look Mexican. It has been beautiful here the last few days with a frost at night but…

I have six projects on the go right now! Two for each of my classes. It’s ridiculous 😛 The only reason I have time to write this is cos I’m at work and have nothing else to do. I signed up for a summer course this morning – Information Design 1. I hope it’s good!…

Sorry about the rant about the BBC. I guess they aren’t so bad. I am painting now and consequently covered in white oil paint!!! I bought the colours for the walls and tiles this a.m. They are blue, 3 shades and I am hoping it will look Mexican. I am going to do a paint…

Well, things have quietened down a little bit, but now I’m not feeling as motivated so I’m getting less done… not a good thing 😛 I don’t like periods of high stress, but I have to admit they “force” me to get more done. I got one of my projects back – got 90% on…

Having had my family all telling everyone how busy I am, I thought I had better catch up a little myself. My new job entails managing all of the UK projects for the signalling division of Bombardier Transportation. In addition to the UK projects I also kept Taiwan (though I did appoint someone to replace…

It has been beautiful weather here these last few days. Although not hot, we have sunshine and wind – just what we need for spring cleaning inside and out. I have been working in the garden pruning the roses and digging some of the flower beds to get ready for new plants later in the…

This is the busiest/craziest reading week/March break I’ve ever had. They’re not supposed to give us so much homework when we have a week off!!?? 🙁
