My second book nook has been completed. I've now done a music based room and a Hemingway based room (not a fan of Hemingway but, it's very pretty). What I really want to do next is one based on an Anime street scene which is the kind of book nook I've been dropping hints about ever since I realised I wanted to do one, but Mum and dad get the ones they think I would like and that basically means the one they like the most; The ones where there's lots of wood fitting and stuff where as my tastes are a good deal more tacky. I may have to get one myself, but I have Lego to complete and I suspect by the time my craft desk is clear it will be too close to Christmas to be buying myself presents. If I don't get one for Christmas I may treat myself.

Endded up starting work on a book nook. pictures will happen when I have my pc back.

This mostly comes down to pollen count and for the sake of hayfeaver sufferers I will also add pollen type. It's been really bad round here. Even some people who don't normally suffer have been suffering hayfeaver style symptoms and those of us who normally sufer a bit have been knocked for six. At this point I really want non-sufferers to understand what we are talking about here. People think Hayfeaver is just a runny nose and itchy eyes because that's the words the adverts use because if you want to sell things you keep things "nice". Hayfeaver when it really kicks off is not "nice". It may start with a little sniffle and itchy eyes but soon your eyes are swelling and you can't see out of one or both eyes and there is pain that comes with this. Not itching, actual pain. And then there is the constant fllow of snot. Breathing becomes hard and because you are enevitably swallowing some of it your digestion is a mess too. and ultimatly your head starts to feel it. I think "Flu like symptoms" is probably a good exsplaination but without the high tempriture because the one thing you don't get with hayfeaver is a feaver (Unless it turns out somebody dose and I just didn't know that one, it wouldn't supprise me).
Anyway that's how I was all friday afternoon having spent the morning working outside so I spent Saturday inside with my window closed. It was a warm day. My room is south faceing. My room got rather warm. My head wasn't really in a place for doing the art work I have planned to so I spent the afternoon playing Final Fantacy XIV which is moderately processor heavy so my PC was pumping out a bit of heat it's self. So bedtinme came and I'd shut down FF and just had Radio 4 playing off of BBC sounds. I popped downstairs to grab a bedtime drink and when I came back up the PC was Off. The screen was still on but the PC was very off. I mean really off. Normally when I shut it down there are a couple of lights deep inside that stay on. My box was totally dark and devoid of life. So I'm guessing it's th power supply that's blowen. The local PC repeair shop isn't open Sundays so nothing I could do.
It doesn't stop me making music as I have a laptop for that and comunications I can do via my phone (as you can see) but artwork uses my PC once I have done the basic refferences and all my refrences are on there so that sid eof things is off until it's fixed. (I hope it's fixable I can't afford a new one right now).
Also yeasterday I had to go out to help put up signes for the village "Meadowlark" in a couple of weeks. Strait in to a killer pollen count and it took me out for the rest of the morning.
I spent the afternoon working on my cover of David Bowie's Diamond Dogs It's all done now baring the vocal line, but I can't put that down beause the Hayfeaver has my voice screwed right now.
