a picture post from my bookshelf...

I don't know why, but I start to feel pretty tired by the time Thursday rolls around...even the vampire slayer and I are sympatico at the moment...and that doesn't happen often believe me. Although she is not meant to be on my bed! Bad cat.
The first born and the 22 year old (collectively but lovingly known as the ferals...which is a highly inaccurate description but I'm keeping it!) would probably say the mid week fatigue is because I'm getting old...maybe...but I'm not in a nursing home yet!
Anyway, I think I'll reserve Thursdays for pretty pictures.  It's easier for me at this stage of the week and probably easier for you too...as I do have a tendency to waffle on a touch! Not today though...here you go...images from one of the books on my bookshelf....
It's got some nice advice...

...and some tranquil spaces

...just what I needed. How about you?

  4. Tranquil spaces from a tranquil townhouse. Very apt. I love your sense of humor. Gotta have a sense of humor, we women, ya know! To deal with "the ferals" of life.

  6. Oh, look at Buffy, the little cupcake! I don't believe a word you say about her, she's just misunderstood. Pretty picturs this fine Thursday, but I must away, I have a hot date with a drop saw! K xx

  9. Oh Kerry,
    I'm afraid that Buffy is the star of the show. I think that thursday's should be Buffy Day !!!! haha.
    I do love your pretty pictures and, although it's still a bit chilly here in the U.K. they have made me feel very summery.
    Try and put your feet up, Kerry and have a bit of 'me' time if you can. XXXX

  14. The vampire slayer is too adorable. I really want a cat, but Jason and Imani are both very allergic, so I settled for my little rat-dog, 7 ib chihuahua. I like the little words of wisdom on the pages and the images are so peaceful!

  19. Currently it appears like Expression Engine is the top blogging platform available right now.
    (from what I've read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

  21. Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some advice from an established blog.
    Is it hard to set up your own blog? I'm not very techincal but I can figure things out pretty quick. I'm thinking about creating my own but I'm not sure where to begin. Do you have any points or suggestions? Cheers

  22. Hola! I was interested to know if setting up a weblog such your own:
    http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6510773540672751770&postID=1293647910155054434 is hard to do for unskilled people?
    I have been hoping to set up my own website for a while now but have
    been turned off mainly because I've always believed it demanded tons of work. What do you think? Many thanks
