Mothers Day ’09

I woke up this morning with a sore throat and a raging headache. However I had told Mam that I would go with her to the shops so up and out we went. She is making wedding invites for my cousin so we were out looking at various colours for various types of paper. I think she will have her work cut out for her as she couldn’t find the exact stuff she was looking for. Mind you if I know Mam she will fiddle around and come up with something that will turn out to absolutely perfect.
Anyway we’re back from the shops and she is after heading home as my sister & niece are going out to their (mam & dad) house for dinner. My word but the niece fondly called the fairy is now sitting up by herself. Himself yesterday was asking what age are they (babies) when they get hair? She does look a little scarce but it’s thick enough on top and the colour is darkening so at least you can see hair – up ’til now she was really fair and you couldn’t see it from a distance. Can you tell I’m absolutely besotted with her? When I find my wire for the ‘phone I’ll post a picture of her from yesterday.
As for me and the rest of the day? Well I think I’m going to spend most of it stretched out on the sofa. I did loads of work around the house yesterday and between that and the aforementioned headache I don’t see my self doing anything other the watching Seven Brides For Seven Brothers. I think crochet might just aggravate my poor head.
Mind you I’ll have to get dinner started sometime later – himself has had to work today so I get peace & quiet 🙂 Normally we’d go out and have adventures but I’m not really up to it so now I don’t have to be a spoil sport.
Better go as they’ve just kidnapped the girls!

Back In Action

Sorry for the disappearance.  It seems that February has been an eventful saga.  The month started out with himself not feeling well and on his second visit to the doctors he was sent into hospital and there he stayed for several days.  It seems to be his appendix but they didn’t take it out as he also has an appendicial mass (big infection) so they were trying to clear that before they go in.  So he was packed off home again with painkillers and antibiotics.  Hot on the heels of this was an event he was organising in work.  He works for a book shop so he had people in for a signing – actually talk about starting at the top – well he had Neil Gaiman in with Amanda Palmer.  The place was packed!  I think all in all it was a good event although there were wrinkles that need to be ironed out at least next time it will be smaller and folk won’t be as panic stricken as they seemed this time.  Oh yes I also forgot to mention we got tickets to see Coraline 3D.  That was fun – in the end 3D hurts my eyes a little and I think the film for me lacked that small element of menace.  However it is certainly something I’d watch again (non 3D).

The day we went to the cinema we also dropped in to the Cath Kidston shop.  OMG! I think I died and went to heaven.  It really was one of those shops were you’d just love to have the money that said “I’ll have one of everything please!”  I eventually emerged with a laundry bag, a little purse and an oilcloth bag.  I wanted to get the bag and everything else was a bonus.

So the Shop & cinema was on Sunday, the signing was on Tuesday so it was busy, busy!  On Thursday himself got an email from Nicky in The Vintage Magpie to let him know that the bunnies he bought for me (I don’t have a credit card so I had to use him)  would be sent out in the post on Monday.  Well I was a cross between a pin ball and a basket ball – bouncing around all over the place and wittering Bunnies!  to myself.  Yes I’m really looking forward to them.

Speaking of wittering I’ve been twittering like crazy. This is me: mswalsh.  Like I said it really is me just wittering – nothing profound I’m just aiming for slightly coherent.  After that I’m happy.

I think I’ll leave it there.  I still have one or two other things but I’ll mention them later – tonight/tomorrow.

Bye for now.
