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

Category: Life

  • Well himself has to work this weekend and while it is a shame there is a silver lining and that means I get me time.  The instructions for this morning was – “Don’t wake me when going to work”  so I was woken to the cries of ” Deirdre my alarm didn’t go off!”  so…

  • Well we’re almost off.  I finished work for the week yesterday and himself is finishing up today.  However it just seems like one of those weeks that never really started.  The plan had been to do a one chore an evening to make sure the place was ready for my mother who will be staying…

  • Well so far the weather looks fantastic outside.  However it’s Irish sun so you would be wrong to think that it’s warm outside.  However it’s not raining and the fact that it’s sunny is a bonus. With this in mind we are going to make the most of it and have a day out planned.…

  • I tend to dabble and generally don’t do too much – but the bit that I do I enjoy immensely.  There is one website that has a wealth of patterns – www.crochetpatterncentral.com.  However every once in a while it would send me to pattern on Lionbrand.com.  For this site you had to log on and because…

  • Are friends again 🙂 I PASSED MY TEST – WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m soooo happy and amazed – well not amazed but amazed. OMG! OMG! OMG! If I was a child I’d be jumping on my bed I’ve that much pent up energy – however weight & height are against me so it might have to be…

  • In an effort to avoid having to drive we went into town to a flea market – (or should that be fleamarket?)  Anyway we went off early as the market opened at 11am and we had no idea where it was being held.  Well we had a general idea but once we hit the boundaries…

  • Did I mention how fantastic I think my husband is? If an opportunity presents itself he does his best to grab it. He has a passing acquaintance with Neil Gaiman and when he heard that he might be coming over for the Jameson Film Festival he wrote to him and asked if he fancied coming…

  • Last night I picked up my hook and started to crochet. I hadn’t done any since October/November and when I read a post on the blog Posy I just got the urge. I had seen on various sites that people had done ripple blankets so I’ve decided to give it a go – I have…

  • If there is one thing that I love it’s SNOW!!  I just noticed that somebody mentioned they had snow and I thought jealously nice for them!  I glanced at the window and realised we had snow too!  I just bounced up and down the hallway and ran out into it.  I’ve been promised we can…
