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

Category: Home

  • It’s just after 8am and I’m out in the garden with the laptop and a coffee.  I think this is the hour that everybody seems to emerge – I can hear windows opening and voices – chattering about what needs to happen in order for the day to start.  The dogs have been left outside,…

  • This is probably a post that should be over on the blog with the photos, but I decided that this was the place I wanted it to be. I love nothing more than a rainy day.  It’s even better if I’m sitting inside – a cup of tea in hand, cosy socks and slippers –…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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 😸

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
