Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)

general

  • Mornings – variations on a theme

    This morning when I got up and came out of the bedroom Tom (cat) came wandering down the hall and towards the door.  Naturally as the good obedient servant that I am I followed to open the door.  Soon all 4 cats were sitting in the hallway looking out the door with what can only… Read more

  • School Fairs & Flights

    I am very proud of myself – today we drove to a school fair.  It’s the fact that I drove there – previously we’d have been scouring the bus timetables to see if it would be possible to get there.  So a big thumbs up for that! Naturally enough we went straight to the book… Read more

  • Death

    I will be 33 soon, this morning I have to go to the funeral of somebody who had only just turned 31. When I heard the news I couldn’t believe it – my flabber was completely gasted. The news of the death of somebody you know will always draw you nearer to those you love… Read more

  • Finishing the week

    I think I’m going to go to bed with a cup of Bedtime Tea and my book (there is also the possibly of a cat). I have 2 [books] beside my bed at the moment – The Gentle Art Of Domesticity by Jane Brocket and Poirot Investigates by Agatha Christie. However the book I’ve been… Read more

  • Mornings

    I fed the cats and then they gathered at my feet worshipping me and my ability to open the front door 🙂 Opening the front door shortly after getting up in the mornings is lovely. The house is stuffy from sleeping people and that sudden burst of light and freshness is invigorating. As I’m closing… Read more

  • Smellies

    Well that is what we used to call them and I’ve never really thought about what they really are – basically it’s bathroom ‘stuff’  I love my bathroom stuff- bath bombs, bath stuff, soaps, potions & lotions.  I don’t buy much ’cause I hate having them just lying around.  However the thing is I love… Read more

  • Weekend Destination

    This weekend we’re going away. I’m really looking forward to it on two different fronts. The first is that I am going to drive to the airport and park so we don’t have to rely on a taxi at 5.30am or for coming home. So three cheers for me – I’ll be having a panic… Read more

  • My Sisters Blanket

    I seem to be procrastinating all over the place! I am making a blanket for what I thought was to be my new niece/nephew (they are 90% sure it’s niece but we’ll wait for the day itself to confirm) when my sister spotted it she has decided that she is going to be the owner… Read more

  • Penpals

    They are wonderful on the other hand I am not. I do apologise but this is going to be a little whingy/giving out. I have a wonderful penpal who writes to me – If I say more often then I write to her I could be accused of understatement 😦 I think that at the… Read more

  • Chocolate & Chinese

    Yes it’s Thursday.  For me this signifies the end of the week – my week rotates around my weekly meeting at/of Weight Watchers.  After the meeting I scoff a Double Decker bar on the way to do my weekly shopping.  This is gone before the car is even out of the car park (chocolate evaporates… Read more
