When I wrote the last post I really thought we had had the last of the snow but NO, it came again… the water stand-pipes froze… no water again. To have a piping hot shower would be such bliss.
Just my luck that the one winter I decide to get out of the rat-race and do something different we end up with the worst winter for 40 years. My daughter Emma joked we should at least get a book out of this and she may well be right. Amazing as this has been it has fundamentally put the perspective solidly back into life. When you have to fetch and carry your drinking water by hand, walking over two sodden fields, you certainly treasure every drop you have, especially when the stand-pipe could freeze at any time in this weather. And hot water that runs out of taps rather than having to be heated up in my stockpot is a luxury I can at the moment only dream of!
Business has however been great, we have a number of websites we are working on and, more so than at any time, we are very happy with the designs and functionality we have come up with. They are all being designed with our content management system Desire Solutions CMS and as the person who normally ends up putting the content in, I have to say it is a dream to use compared to WordPress etc.
We should have all 3 websites completed this week hopefully and then we have a few more quotes that should come in. So I am hoping that by the time it comes to my Birthday on Friday we have a lot to celebrate.
Now I must sleep, although we have been very good and rather than working to stupid times in the morning have been disciplined and been asleep at a reasonable time and up at 7 each morning. One of the most difficult things when you both do not have conventional work is to maintain the routine of sanity but getting up and hearing the birds tweet is definately working for me.
