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

  • Do I really have to work?

    It’s currently 07:45 and I’m still in bed.  However, I’ve already had my breakfast – I made porridge and a cup of coffee and brought it back to bed – so breakfast is finished.  I’m now reading “The Christmas Card Crime and Other Stories”, the cat is curled up beside me and ClassicFM is on… Read more

  • Relaxing After Easter

    Background: I’ve been left with one cat and she is decided clingy and needy.  If I sit down then it is an open invitation for her to sit on my lap – the exception to this is if I’m at a table/desk. Today is a bank holiday and this morning I started to read a… Read more

  • A grand cup of tea

    www.facebook.com/677287782/posts/10152459424452783/ She might be gone but she’ll never be forgotten- my lovely little Pip helping herself to an unguarded mug of tea 😸 Read more

  • Snuggled Up

    Yesterday I bought a “thing” – it’s a throw with a hood and mittens.  It’s one of the softest things I have bought in a long time (normally it’s balls of wool).  I spent most of the afternoon offering my purchase around for people to feel – it really is that soft! When I got… Read more

  • My Radio

    I love listening to the radio – I have one in every room in the apartment even the smallest room! Actually, that’s not exactly true – I did have a radio on my locker but retired it for the telly.  What I mean by that is we get the radio through the television and the… Read more

  • Slow Progress

    Confession time – I hurt my hand from playing Nintendo 😦  At the time I was also making a baby blanket for my cousin, so the blanket kind of ground to a halt. Ok it wasn’t just that my hand/thumb was killing me – it was also the fact that I’d decided to make this… Read more

  • Sunny Sunday Breakfast

    In the mornings we have sunshine on our veranda but come the afternoon the sun is out in the back garden. So this morning I had my breakfast out doors.  Yes the weather has been that good over the last few days. Armed with my iPhone I took a photo but can’t decide which app… Read more

  • Making Ikea

    I’m really proud of myself – I’ve just put together a chair from Ikea.  Himself was going to have a lie down so I decided to give it a go and I’m now sitting on it as I type – I’m soo proud of myself even if I did swear a bit every time I… Read more

  • Learning

    Yesterday my email account was hacked and everybody in my address book was sent something – not sure what as I didn’t open it. Anyway three cheers for Google! They decided that it was spam and blocked it so the mails didn’t go anywhere. My only problem after that was to think of a new… Read more

  • December 8th

    Ok so the making a post every day isn’t really working out. There have been two reasons for this – the minor one is that I was away over the weekend doing my Christmas Visits and the major reason is that our internet at home is on the blink. Right now I’m on my lunch… Read more
