Cracked it!

 Yesterday I had another occasion to utilize my new-found Desperate Technology skills (go me!).  I had clearly pressed something which had come in an email or similar - I remember trying to click out of something and then the most bejeebers effing annoying popup popped up, purporting to be from McAfee, telling me that I had 7 viruses, and heaven knows what else infecting my computer.  Every time I moved the cursor over to try and message Tam on Facebook, the pop-up popped up and blocked it.  So I texted her - she would fix it on Tuesday.  I wasn't going to wait that long, so noted the words in the link it had up and googled them, and found out how to block it.  Hooray!

I

In fact, double Hooray, as I decided I would take my brain to task and crack the block - thanks to Shirley, Morning's Minion, gz, JennyP and Lizzy and Debbie and everyone else who encouraged me.  I then realized what I had done yesterday - I couldn't understand it as I had been able to make this block  when I tried out the William Morris Heritage quilt block.  Of course, I had started cutting out both the larger and the smaller pieces for the 8" and 6" blocks, and taken two of the 6" 1/4 square triangles which did NOT match the 8" half square triangle!  Some of you probably realized this and were too kind to say!!  Gormless, that's me :)

Anyway, note the quite good points in the middle.  I shall do some more tomorrow, if I don't feel too rough, but I have gotten Rosie's cold - hard to escape after she stuck her finger up her nose and then did the same to me!  So far, a bit of a runny nose.  Let's hope I have had it before and my daily Vitamin D will stop it getting to be bad, though Tam said it wasn't anything like the one they all had a few weeks ago which came with a high temperature and shocking headache. 

I haven't been into town at all today but imagine there will be lots of mobile homes parked up on the Groe car park overnight as it's Good Friday tomorrow and they will have made an early start.  I passed a convoy of them when I was driving back from Aber on Tuesday.  If Billy Blue Eyes is down for Easter, giving you a wave.  We'll have to meet up for a cuppa in town sometime.

Before my nose began running, I pulled the aged seed stack from out of the corner where it had been overwintering, weighted it down, and have put the well-grown runner beans out there to acclimatise.  

I also trimmed the Wallpaper in the guest bedroom, and have stuck one short piece in under the sink.  Next bit is a back to front L-shaped bit, so I've left that for the moment.  

I changed my bed this morning and so have a clean bed to fall into tonight.  Right, off to read one of the last JD Kirk novels.  Will have to wait until the new one is written before I have another sent my way.
