A great little film about Nature, Beauty and Gratitude

I loved this and will want to watch it again - http://www.ted.com/talks/lang/en/louie_schwartzberg_nature_beauty_gratitude.html

I cycle as if I am balancing scones on my head apparently

Husband has finished working off 325 calories on the exercise bike while listening to indie post hardcore aka 'Funeral for a friend' and watching a video of road scenery captured while someone else was cycling somewhere not in the pouring rain. This is his first non-walking exercise in months and yet he scoffs at me for doing the bike on level 1 like "a vicar cycling over to a ladie's house while balancing a tray of scones on their head".

Making own aromatherapy bath gel

1% oil to bath gel so 5ml to 500ml of gel which equals 125 drops. The best site I found for buying stuff from was www.baseformula.com as they were one of the aromatherapy supplies website that looked professional and gave you the info you needed to feel confident to make a purchase. Really stood out as a brilliant site.

Gap in blogging

Wow - a 4 year gap in blogging! That's what a facebook addiction does to you as you babble away on there instead. I thought of my blog again as had a bit of info I wanted to store where I could find it again. Otherwise I write things down in notebooks or scraps of paper and can never find it again. And what did I find here? 82 comments and 1 follower. Many comments I am not sure I ever saw and most of them spammy crap. I really do need to look at the settings now I'm back in the saddle. I have felt the yen to write as the words keep filling my head and I need to let them out. I started to share some creative stuff at http://bymarta.wordpress.com/ recently but with building a new website for the day job, that sucked up all my time. I have been tending a bit here and there, specialist interest blogs and sites plus one which is a secret blog about xxxxxxxxx which you won't know is me (mwha ha ha ha evil laugh)! Sure feels good to write - even dribble or should that be drivel?
