I am so sick of junk mail coming through my door. Seems like every day there is more new stuff. It's bad enough with all the junk in my email inbox. Mailman is quite nice though. If he has to knock with a parcel, or anything too big to go through the letterbox, he always apologises for all the junk. I know its not his fault. He just has to deliver whatever he is given. Must make his job harder too. If every house has junk mail, his mail sack must be REALLY heavy! Got me thinking about other jobs, and how they must get put on too. I know when I was a riding instructor, it seemed like every other day soeone was wanting me to go check thier horse, or go with them to view a new horse they were thinking of buying. I guess i didn't mind too much, as it was all about horses, but it didn't leave me much time for my studying, or even my own leisure time.
Life carries on as normal, and I get carried along with it. Each day becoming another test. To pass the test, you have to get to the end of the day. I've been doing pretty well at it just lately. Okay, I've had some days when it was a struggle, but if I am honest, I didn't have to work THAT much harder to make it. Each day, I can congratulate myself on another test passed. Hey, I'm a winner! I dont think I will ever WIN the race, but I am taking part, and I am, at least, completing the course.
I wish I could get to grips with Photoshop. Clive needs some decals for his models, the ones he is keeping, and I just cant work out how best to use Photoshop. I used to have a programme that was nice and easy for me to use. But that was on the Amiga, and it wont work on here. The work on the decals is fiddly and because they are so small (30mm x 3mm) it is to easy to make a mistake and not see it. I tried zooming in on the image, but when I reduced it again, and tried to save it, It saved at the bigger size. I am a Photoshop virgin. This is the first time I have used it. If I cant work out how to do stuff, I wont be using it again. Which is a shame, as it is far more use then the programme I am using now. IPhoto 4. These are what I am trying to do. The Dawson one is about the right size. I set the measurments for them all at the same size, but you see my problem? The Staniers and Wells ones are both WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY too big!!
My back has been hurting again. Woke up this morning and felt like my back had been stomped by a brahma bull! I had to get Clive to rub some heat treatment into it. The massaging felt good.
But I really do need to get a new mattress. If only they weren't almost as expensive as buying a complete new bed!!
Got a great shot of Inka. Dont know what she was screwing her face up at, but she looked so comical I just HAD to get a shot.
