I can't believe that another summer has almost gone. Every year we say that next year we won't be so busy, and every year proves us wrong. Between Cosy Woodpecker Cottage and our various businesses it still seems to be hard to find time to work on the garden and property. Still its probably best to focus on what we HAVE achieved this year – including…
Cosy Woodpecker Cottage has launched as a fully fledged B&B providing Salt Spring Accommodation
Byte Sized Websites is up and running and slowly building up a client base. I am deliberately trying not to be too busy as I still need a fair bit of time to do other things
The garden is vaguely under control – we have stacks of delicious sun gold tomatoes as well as the usual salad greens, cabbages etc. We even got to try our first fresh artichoke head this year
Emma has launched Life Coach On The Go (the new name for Bite Sized Lifecoaching) providing online and self-coaching tools and exercises to busy people who are 'on the go'
I continue to battle with technology – after the battle of the printer, I had a rematch. We finally got a new computer for Emma – the old desktop was just getting too slow and the move to a laptop will also liberate her from her desk. After spending an hour getting Windows to install the printer (owning to some arcane windows defect where you have to roll up one trouser leg and say Bill Gates backwards 3 times before it works) I made the mistake of printing a test page. Which obviously caused the printer to blow up. Like it would rather commit electronic suicide rather than allowing me one small victory. So anyway the old printer is now e-waste and a new one arrives today….
Still on the list for this year are:
- A new bathroom in our house – we both miss having a tub, and we can't just pop over to the cottage to use that one when we have guests. This is a big job that includes finishing the rest of the upstairs but we want it done this year…
- Seeing if we can get some off-season business in the cottage
- Doing some winter gardening
- Making time to rest and relax!
- Finding time to update this blog more often!!
