The thing is, sometimes you will /do/ things, but you can't always get around to them right away, don't have the money, aren't always in good enough health, etc... People aren't patient or just plain rude/nasty about things and you are not under any obligation to do what they want you to do, do stuff when they want it, do stuff just to please them.

While at uni, I deliberately didn't cut my hair for a year because an unfriendly flatmate made derogatory comments about it because I wouldn't waste money going to a salon thingy with her. It's a dangerous thing to complain/make derogatory comments about stuff.

I am seriously considering letting the garden get overgrown again this year, simply on the basis that a neighbour is moaning about it already.

And a little browser game that I've missed playing has finally got its act together and is loading properly...

OK... This is a twilight zone moment, because I never expected it to happen without getting a new computer and changing internet providers, but.... Microsoft Edge is actually working at a speed it should and downloads are actually downloading at a speed that you should expect. The reason why I consider it strange is because for over a year (November '19 to be exact), the internet hasn't been working properly, and

finally, this evening, it is. What gives? Should I be suspicious of it? Is our internet provider going to suddenly present us with an enormous phone bill?
So, I'm getting the Simon R. Green pages done (at least the structure for them, anyway...) I first came across his books when I bought Deathstalker from an independent bookshop some years ago. Loved the series - it's sort of what you would get if you crossed Star Wars with Marvel/DC. The books are quite long and there are two series of them and a prequel omnibus. I've always wanted to see them made into movies.

The bookshop I bought them from no longer exists, unfortunately, which saddens me quite a lot because I saw it grow from a one room shop and expand into the buildings behind it. It was the best independent shop I've known for its diversity of books and my home town is poorer because it's no longer here.
I finally tracked down a site which I ordered some Celtic art from a few years ago. (I forgot what the site was called.) Glad I found it because it sells art of one of my favourite artists.

It's called the Quirky Celts and is a UK site. Not sure what the postage would be like to overseas, though. It's usually expensive.

You might find this useful, though. It has links to some US shops. (I've been getting Lisa Parker's merchandise for years) https://www.lisaparkershop.com/usa.html
You sound just like me. The number one way to make me double down on something is to criticise me for doing it. Part of the reason that I wear and decorate with pink so much is because some people have made derogatory comments about me doing so before.
