Busy week so far, only three (oh no only two) yay! to go to the weekend.

I wrote a post before and tried to add in some websites but couldn't get them to work again, I had the knack last year after months of trying but they weren't working so gave up. Will have another go soon. I was also going to upload some photos but they weren't working either, must've been doing something very basic wrong. As you will see I have been successful in loading up photos before so not sure what I was doing wrong. Perhaps I'm not concentrating properly.

Will definitely have another try as blog will be even more boring without a few snaps.

Another busy day ahead tomorrow :( but would rather be busy than have nowt to do.

2011 Continues..

Looking for something interesting and different to do with my spare time this year, any ideas?

I have several thoughts on this but haven't come to a firm decision yet. I need to do something where I'm meeting new people and interacting with new people. Also something that isn't going to cost a lot of money. I enjoy trying new things and new experiences, but feel a bit stuck at the moment.

A new location may be a start?

2011

Well happy new year to one and all. Haven't been around for quite a while, life hasn't been as straightforward as it should but I'm going to try and get back into the routine of posting on my blog.

I did a fair bit of baking before Christmas making:

White Chocolate and Cranberry Cupcakes, a huge Christmas cake also decorated this myself, lots of fruit cakes and a delicious Chocolate and Peanut Butter Cheesecake (that recipe courtesy of Nigella Lawson). Oh and not forgetting the sugar cookies I baked and decorated with different coloured glittery icing.

Today I baked Fork Cookies, courtesy of the lovely Mary Berry.

Inbetween all of this, I've also been trying to keep up with my stargazing and following lots of others who are interested in Astronomy on Twitter. Particularly, @Virual Astro and @ProfBriann Cox. There has been a lot going on in the sky since early December with the meteor shower (can't remember the name of it) early in December, during which I managed to spot five meteors so I was really pleased with that. Last weeks meteor shower proved a bit of a let down as it has been cloudy in the North West for what seems like weeks. Forecast tonight is for clear skies so will go out later and have a quick look to see what I can see. Will be back. Take it easy.
