Attempting To Be A Domestic Goddess: new

The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way

Welcome to my Tuesday 👻

Brew with hug.

Breakfast.

I woke the kids up for their on-line learning for school.

Hubby got dressed and he was working from home.

Hubby went to get the newspaper.

I had a really bad headache.

(Paint fumes from yesterday)

Back to sleep for me.

Hubby bought up a much needed coffee for me later..

Time to get up.

Dressed.

I went outside for some fresh air.

Half way writing yesterday's blog post when computer kept crashing...

No blogging for the time beginning!

I had to buy another portable external hard drive as I filled my other one.

Then I had to make a decision to either a second hand or a new desktop computer.

Second hand computer didn't have enough Ram on them and most were overpriced.

I found a reasonable price new one and can be paid over 6 months that I can afford.

So in the meantime I hope I can get all my stuff off the old one before it dies on me completely.

Lunchtime.

I had a look inside the newspaper.

Mary O'Brien OBE , professionally known as Dusty Springfield, was a British pop singer and record producer whose career extended from the late 1950s to the 1990s.

Her image, supported by a peroxide blonde bouffant hairstyle, evening gowns, and heavy make-up, as well as her flamboyant performances, made her an icon of the Swinging Sixties.
