Too busy
Ruth has been keeping me busy photographing her dyeing and optimising the images for her blog and for sending to the Quilt University recently. She’s picked up enough HTML to be able to format her posts on her own now, so I’m aiming to teach her a bit about Photoshop next 
I also have been setting up a wireless alarm for the house (everything’s got to be wireless these days!), as there have been a couple of series of break-ins in the neighbourhood recently. It’s not fully commissioned yet, but only because I didn’t want be mounting the external siren on a public holiday (most of the rest of the time it has been raining here). It’s got an interesting specification – apart from the usual siren it can be programmed to dial up to 6 different phone numbers and tell the person at the other end that you have a break-in, fire, or if you have a panic button, that you have been attacked or have a medical emergency. Each component is tamper-proof – if someone tries to remove a cover or the complete component the alarm goes off even if the alarm isn’t armed. (I hope it works reliably, otherwise our relationship with our neighbours may not remain as harmonious as it is at the moment!)
I found the starter kit on offer in town for 360 Euro, which I think is a pretty reasonable price (full price is 400 Euro).
