Things To Make Me Smile (and a few things that annoy me)
‘Cause she doesn’t allow me to take photos that often:
I’m sorry but these ads are simply brilliant – I was going to put them all up individually but as there are loads it might be a bit too much so here they are – play them all and only press stop when the laughing starts to hurt.
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 dropped the twisting thing!
I will happily admit that one of my favourite poets is John Betjeman. Last night I was in bed watching Kenneth Williams being interviewed by Michael Parkinson. He was in the company of Maggie Smith & John Betjeman and towards the end of the excerpt they had a piece where Kenneth & Maggie read a Betjeman poem. It was beautiful! As P. says he could listen to Maggie Smith read anything but I have to say I thought Kenneth Williams was fantastic – once he’s voice is controlled it’s very moving.
So here is:

This pair make me smile from ear to ear. I look forward to seeing them and when we go home we chat happily about them for ages.
Here’s a few of the pictures taken yesterday when we went over on Chocolate deliveries.
On ITV3 they are holding a John Thaw weekend so I’m glued to the box. I loved Inspector Morse, both the books and the programme.
I will admit that I cried when Inspector Morse died – I remember it very clearly – sitting up in bed ’til the late, lamp on, no music. I was given the book for Christmas. In saying I cried when he died it might also have been that I was still a bit upset as my Grandad had died just over a month before.
There is one other thing I love about the Inspector Morse series and that was the soundtrack – written by Barrington Pheloung. There are parts of the music when is soars and it almost feels as if you heart wants to fly with it – it’s just so beautiful.
So here is the thing that makes me smile particularly 2min 43sec:
Hi Girl!,
If you’re out there reading this – I hope things are going well with you?
How is the snow out with you? Are the cats & dog enjoying it?
Well, miss reading your updates so if you do read this drop me a line and say hi!

We’re not getting snow here this year – it’s way too mild. Mind you it’s not very often that we do get snow so I shouldn’t be that surprised (still disappointed though). However, there is a very cold spell happening over in Europe and Russia. I know that snow has it’s draw backs and dangers but it is so beautiful. Below are 2 pages of wonderful snow photos (hopefully the url will remain live as time goes on)

My enthusiasm was productive and I’ve most of the first section done. However, I have decided to leave the beading ’til the very end – so some of it will be missing ’til the very end.
I have to say I’m really getting a kick out of all of this so I’m going to leave off and get back to my stitching – teehee!
I bought this at lunch time:
I’m hoping to ease myself gently back into Cross-Stitch with this beauty!
Time will tell!
