scooting along with instructions

I wasn’t particularly well on Friday, so I sat myself down at my computer and got stuck into writing instructions. I didn’t expect to get much done, but the quiet lack of physical activity helped me feel a little better, and I got an amazing amount done!

I had the pattern sheets printed out on big sheets of paper the other day, and stuck them up on the wall next to where I work. It means that I can constantly refer to them, which is really helpful when writing the project instructions.

I’m expecting a *large* shipment of book reprints to arrive in the next few days. I’m hoping that I can manage the mammoth task of moving 122 cartons (each about 15kg) into my storage space. Not something that I’m particularly looking forward to! I think I’m going to be exhausted by the end of it!

    I suggest you get someone to help you – I’ve just helped my mother clear the loft, and I’m creased!

    The very nice fellow at the storage place is planning to tell them to deliver it straight into my storage unit. I was anticipating it all being delivered to a holding bay and then me having to move it to my unit. While this will mean that nothing is where I want it in the unit – difficult for keeping track of stock! – its probably preferable!

    Hope you’re feeling revived again soon, Rachel!
