I'm not so happy.. I have a frozen shoulder which makes doing even stupidly simple things quite painful.

However, I'm very happy as today is the last day of term and I get to go out and about with Limpit for a few days, enjoying the countryside, seeing new things and re-visiting old places.

I'm an extremely happy bunny today - despite stiff thighs and sore feet, our 6 mile sponsored walk over 8 London bridges has probably raised twice our original target!

My own contribution is very nearly £180, the total around £2,300 - we're very happy, very sore bunnies!

We had the first sleepover with our grandson, Morgan, since he and his mom moved out last year. He was on a camp cot next to the bed and did very well. Helped me make pizza last night. This morning I woke to him, reaching out to me and saying, "Mama, let's hold hands." He is a sweetheart.

Semi- happy here. I am de-crapping the house in anticipation of a yard sale. There are boxes of stuff under beds, in closets, in the eaves, in the shed, in the sun room. When this is over I may have enough money to survive for a year!

Congratulations, Diva.

Word of advice to the kiln users. My niece is a potter but can be slipshod. She once sent me a box of pots - some beautiful, some awful. I couldn't understyand why there was red, sticky paint all over it all. UNTIL, I realized that she had not finished the pot bottoms or covered them with felt. I was bleeding from razor-like cuts all over my hands. SIGH!

Alba, it is a happiness to see you here and posting again, especially in the worthy cause of congratulating Diva on her success, who is also, by the way, like you, a very fine ballad singer, tho' more in the Scottish Border tradition (you know the kind, lots of blood, high body count) and with a powerful and distinctive voice that I am sure you would enjoy.

Well done Diva, studying is hard work at the best of times, now you can enjoy the fruits of your hard labour.

After only having a baby 10 days ago I have manged to get into my original clothes that I bought just before I found out I was pregnant and I had lost 5 stone! Hopefully I'll drop another dress size running after the little fella before we go to a friends wedding at the beginning of August!

Harry is doing really well and getting lots of Grandma cuddles. It's wonderful to see my mother and Harry together. Last year was a hard year with my mum being diagnosed with breast cancer and going through the various surgeries and treatments. She is completely smitten with her little grandson!

Yesterday I ordered a book on enamelling for reference for when I would get the new kiln I wanted. Today I open the paper and there is one for Free with molds and books! Oh, happy day...this is going to be fun!!

Cute is the patchwork calico cat eating his own tail, whilst rotating on a wall that is at most 4 inches wide... he was doing it very carefully, but there was a lovely wide 6ft roof not 2ft from where he was standing...

i found someone to help do yard work and
the tasks so long ignored have been taken
care of and it is so refreshing to NOT have
weeds choking the rosemary bushes, the iris,
and lavendar and roses and wisteria are all
breathing a sigh of relief too.

vinca (myrtle) is i nice ground cover, but a
MAJOR (vinca major, vinca minor) hassle later@!

plus my children helped get the work done on
sunday, mother's day in the u.s. and they
helped mow, weed, prune and do carpentry jobs!

it's getting better all the time...
better, better, better +* +*

Two reasons to be cheerful today:~

Firstly: My tits are back!!

A few weeks ago I put mixed bird seed in the feeder and since then, not a sight of a tit. Yesterday I put just sunflower seeds in another feeder and suddenly the tits are back!

I managed to get a great closeup view of a very harrassed looking blue tit as she hopped along the windowsill looking for insects in the shrubbery below, a mere 2ft from where I was standing. Had there not been glass in the way, I could have touched her. I see now that they have nested in next door's privet tree and by the sound of it, they've procreated again. The great tits are also nesting nearby so the sunflower seeds are a much needed supplement. Where the coal tits went is anyone's guess, but they're around here somewhere.

And secondly, today should see the arrival of our new garden table, a tasteful wrought iron and wooden thing, big enough to put a meal on. The arrival of this means that I have FINALLY cleared all the crap and rubble from the garden. It's only taken 9 years, 3 spoil heaps, countless rubble sacks, 8 bonfires and 6 parties to do it!

Now I'm off to get the bag of horse manure out of the car before Manitas finds out about it!
