Period Drama

Wow, what a great weekend I've had! I've spent lots of time at home, with my laptop in situ, entering data to the both Pretty Practicals website and our new (as yet unlaunched) website. Okay, that doesn't sound like so much fun, but I did get a chance to put on some DVDs and watched old dramatisations of Jane Austen to my heart's content. Then just as I had run out of DVDs to watch the BBC did themselves proud with an evening of period drama on the telly. I still have a pile of videos of earlier productions of Jane Austen novels and other period dramas but that will have to wait for another weekend.
Dave, who isn't such an Austen fan has been hidden away in the dining room working on the websites. I am so lucky to have a partner who seem to be able to turn his hand to anything I ask him to do ~ I mention that I would like something or other done on the website and without complaining, he does it. What a star!

So how do I thank my wonderful husband for his unstinting dedication to our work? Easy ~ make him a cup of tea and suggest some more ideas for changes and improvements!
Dave thinks that by the end of the week we will be ready to introduce our new website to the world, I'm really excited by it because we have put so much effort into creating it (another new baby for Pretty Practicals ~ yeah!).


As always, I am heading off towards the kitchen once more, chat soon, Liz

Wow Liz. I swear I didn't look at your blog for one day and came back to posts galore! I love looking at all of your pictures. They are all so pretty and so feminine. My sweetie would never allow me anything flowery, and I comply because I love him so much, so I will have to live through your pictures. You are very talented. Do you have any talent to spare?

Hugs,
Michelle
