Départ demain à 9H. Nuit à Reims et arrivée à Lyon vendredi.

tomorrow morning, not too early..I can never get up in the morning. We plan on leaving around 9 to catch a boat just after lunch. We will stop overnight in Reims and then carry on to Lyon the following day.
This time I am going to miss the gym! I have really got used to going everyday! I’ll have to go walking instead.
I am really looking forward to our time away. Holidaying with the kids and seeing everybody again! I close my pixel shop because I don’t like having to do orders when I am away. It’s much easier this way.
If I can I’ll come and post here during our time away! We will see.

IPod Shuffle

[fr]

Merci Paula, Vanille et Pixie de votre visite. J′ai reçu mon iPod Shuffle. Pas facile à s′en servir quand on ne peut pas télécharger l′aide en ligne! Bon j′y suis arrivée. A la recherche d′écouteurs maintenant parce que ceux de l′iPod sont terribles et je ne pourrais pas m′en servir au Centre de Fitness!

Got it this morning! Took me a few hours to get it set up because there’s supposed to be help online but despite trying several times I was unable to downlad the file! Kim helped me a bit by phone and then for the music I worked it out! It is such a tiny player! Unbelievable! It’s only about 4 cms by 2and a half and that’s really tiny! So I used it this afternoon while going round with the vacuum cleaner and before you asked, no it did not make the task much more pleasant! LOL! And as mentioned by many people the ear phones kept falling out! So they are not going to be much use in the gym! So now I am looking for some decent ear phones! That’s a big job, I am reading about what people say each time I find something sort of suitable! I still have lots to look at before I order! But I don’t want to make a mistake so will take my time on that one.
Thank you Paula, Vanille and Pixie for visiting my blog.

I have not written in here for so long. And yet I have time, that’s not the problem. I have now started going to the gym regularly and that is the best decision I have made in a long time. I had been talking about this for a long time but it is so easy to find excuses not to go! However since my last post, I have started going regularly. First three times a week, then four and now five! And it does make you feel better and full of energy! I even decided to buy myself an iPod Shuffle, really tiny that you can clip on your clothing so I can listen to my own choice of music. That’s moving with the times, LOL!
I have also moved a bit away from Pixels and gone towards Scrap tags. I find them beautiful. That in turn has got me interested into non pixel tubes, but copyright compliant non pixels tubes. You either buy those or else like me you join a group which regularly sends free but copyright compliant tubes. it means I am rediscovering PSP and filters and plugins! I love it!
In a couple of weeks’ time we are going on holidays. We have decided to all have a week together and rent a gite in France. Have a look here: Les Chaix. Click on the image to go in. My mum, Kim’s boyfriend and his parents will join us. I am really looking forward to it. Then we will move on to my mum’s and then as we did last year go for a few days to the East of France. My mum was born there.
