I might have eaten a few slices myself.... yum... apricots. Not so keen on the cocoanut...but, ..he.... alright.. this time.
If we did no displacement activity befo a deadline then nothing would get den - I find that I am at my most creative when I have a deadline which I don't want to meet, I even start to find things I normally hate terribly interesting...
Congratulations!
I have written many a paper in much the same way!!
Task avoidance, when pursued with gusto, can be so productive!!
I don't know any other approach to writing reports. The house is usually at its tidiest when I have a deadline to meet. (And I loathe housework!)
There you are, there really was no need to rush.
I am full of admiration. Were it me I would have had to set the alarm for a very early start to a Tuesday morning.
You go, girl! Am getting a bit of reading done myself, for a change.
Well done on writing report!
Cake looks nice. I will check out the recipe.
You MADE a kaleidoscope?!!
Sounds like a lovely weekend.
Well , from a kit .
Very easy ,though it would have been easier still had I three hands . You can personalise it by using your own "filling".... confetti perhaps , sequins or beads .I used buttons and beads . ( I'm now wondering what rice would have been like , or red lentils ?)
Anyway , the pre-schoolers liked it !
I think I live most of my life like this. I love a deadline, gets the adrenaline coursing through the veins! And who likes doing reports anyway? They are all online at my school, daresay a bit of copy and pasting goes on...
Must track down a copy of the Curwen book. Just discovered you and will be back. I wanted to call my daughter Jessamy - its a fabulous name and I'd never met anyone with it - that was 18 years ago - and you;re the first!
It's great the way report writing and the like makes us so productive, in ways other than report writing! Look what you got done!
