Good morning. New week, new luck. Irish summer has been given a little extension. This week we are having temperatures of 20+°C every day. Yes, in Ireland that means it is “hot”, and I am dressed for the occasion because I do not get the opportunity for sleeveless summer dresses very often. Here you see…
Instead of a round-up – normal service returning next weekend – I have a last good bye for you. I’ve heard some voices – not in my head, although they are always there, too – who quite liked the vlogging format I drifted into the last few weeks. This is on you, then! But since…
What a whirlwind it has been! The #RA50Auctions Fundraiser is over, and with a bit of a delay I have now made our donation to LOROS via Mrs Armitage’s tribute on muchloved. Richard – apologies for the belated pressie, and sorry that we didn’t buy you socks. But this is what we made for you:…
Update with good news. I’ve checked my eBay account and… Those are the remaining €5,000+ from the fan auctions. And you can see below the amount that the hold on the funds has been released and the payout is scheduled for tomorrow. Fingers crossed that it will happen early in the day, and will show…
This is one of two moments you have been waiting for! Today, after several days of packing, printing and dispatching, I have finally shipped the last of the parcels with your purchases. You should’ve all received notification by now from eBay and/or Etsy regarding dispatch of your purchases. Not all items have been sent tracked/registered…
Do you want to hear the good news first or the bad? Nah, I’ll start with the good. And I’ll make it short. Let me just say that this evening’s home stretch of the fan auctions was just… manic. I tried to tweet, but I couldn’t keep up. Some amazing last minute bidding pushed us…
Good morning, dear and kind friends of baritone-voiced British thesps with sophisticated silver temples. The anatomical ones, not the sacral edifices. Let’s be honest, I am fuseling a bit. Not as in “booze” (although alcohol might help?) but as in “procrastination”. I have a bit of a day ahead of me. There is some (paid)…
A day full of highlights. Waking up to see Richard had posted – and retracted – a birthday video. The hardship of time difference is upon me. I snoozed, I loozed. Currently trying to avoid all spoilers 😂 But wow, that will be a treat! Mid-morning the auction milestone of €3,000 was passed, and I…
I’ll keep this short because I suspect nobody has time for my lengthy waffle 😂. You can now find the sale open at ScissorsandSmiles on Pattern by Etsy. However, if anyone *does* want to read more, here is the marketing blurb 😉. We have an amazing number of items on offer for you, all for…
I’m interrupting my work because I really, really need to write an update. (Had a work call this morning, so couldn’t really blog, but now needs must.) We have just made a big milestone on our fan-fronted auctions. In last night’s update I disclosed that we were very close to a fantastic milestone. We have…
