Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)
To Leah Moore & John Reppion! Leah gave birth yesterday to a baby boy. According to his daddy Edward Alec Moore Reppion is “So far, the nicest, calmest, quietest baby ever.”
Long may it last! 😉
Seriously you guys I’m really chuffed for you both – all three of you even! Take care and I can’t wait to see the pics.
Did I mention I bought myself a pair of slippers recently?
They had a gorgeous pair last year – White with red snow flakes but they didn’t have them in my size and I didn’t want to get any of the others so I’ve been wearing a pair of shoes in the mornings however now that I have my fluffies I’m thrilled to bits 🙂 I particularly charmed by the buttons but that is another story altogether *^_^*
I’ve watched this programme and I’ve often wondered what would mine be.
While the programme seems to have dishes for me it’s single things –
Fry’s Chocolate Cream and After Eights remind me of my Granddad on my fathers side and Apple Tart, a fry for your tea and most importantly Christmas Pudding remind me of Nannan (grandmother on dads side)
Bourbon biscuits remind me of my other Granddad on my mothers side and egg in a cup makes me think of Nanny (mothers mother)
What reminds me of my parents is a little more difficult. It’s grapes for Dad. He’d always get grapes when we went shopping and would sit chomping on them for the evening and we of course would try to help ourselves. When it comes to Mam it gets very general. It’s mainly baking especially boiled fruit cake. I think it’s the licking the bowl and the putting everything together. I also associate Christmas Pudding with Mam to but not in a good way. I did breadcrumbs every Christmas but I always thought it was for the stuffing not realising that it would be a lot of stuffing! I never knew that was what went into the pudding – I was devastated. Mind you it didn’t put me off and I love it.
On a minor subcategory of Christmas Pudding. Nannan always made it. Granddad loved it fried & my mother told me what was in it.
Anyway time to go but just one quick question:
What would be A Taste Of Your Life?
Well hello stranger!
I know, it’s been ages since I was here – I really am sorry. I’ve been in a bit of a funk but in the last few days I’ve noticed that it seems to have lifted. That means there are little traces of me to be found here and there.
So what is making me smile lately? I saw a poster this morning on my way into work. There is a play on in the Gate Theatre and I’m going to go. I’m not too sure that himself wants to so I’m going to go all by myself to the Matinée on Saturday (providing there are tickets still available) The play is The Birds – I’ve neither read the book nor seen the film – in the immortal words of Manuel “I know nawthing” The main draw is that it has Ciarán Hinds in it. I loved his portrayal of Captain Wentworth in Persuasion and his Mr Rochester in Jane Eyre. So to see him live on stage is a must in my book. I’ve asked P. to keep an eye out for him in the shop but he’s told me he wouldn’t even recognise him if he was singing and dancing in front of him – harumph! I don’t believe him ’cause my DVD of Persuasion is rarely put away it’s watched that often.
While looking up the website for the theatre I spotted that A Christmas Carol is also coming to the stage. I’ve been to that particular theatre twice and both times it was to see A Christmas Carol and I’ll soon be able to say three times. All I have to do now is decide how close to Christmas will we go? – not sure that makes sense but it does to me.
The other thing we are hoping to go and see is The Brother – starring Eamon Morrissey in Draíocht.
I’d better go as I’m supposed to be having an early night and there are still things to be done.
