A sunny day in which I can please myself and make another pair of trousers to replace the ones the bottom has fallen out of!

Cloth in the local market for less than £1 a yard (that's about 50cents guys!!) and a new car on the horizon - one with central locking!!

I've not seen a news report for longer than 3 minutes (finally caught those pics Phot!), care not a jot for what William and Kate are doing or not doing, and the toilet isn't blocked.

Happy day indeed.

Happy is a grandson of 20 months who thinks that Bert (he pronounces it Buwut) means Fix It. So if he needs changings he calls Buwut! If he wants out of his play pen he yells Buwut! If his Mom gets angry with him he yells Buwuwt!

And if he wants to see me jump he yells, very loudly, BUWUT!!! I pretend to be surprised and he does it again.

I got to spend some time with a good friend who was home from Colorado for a couple of days. Jason is back working, we have the trails cleared at the park, I have the day off and don't have to do anything at all today!

A blessed day off alone in the house, the garden is blooming in white and purple, my lily of the valley have survived the winter and the cats, I'm wearing the trousers I was making when I last posted and the 4 skirts I had to make are nearly done.

The new car is all I hoped and more, it's big enough that I managed to pick up an antique glass fronted cabinet I was promised in December last year, and have only just managed to get. This now means we don't have to climb over the sofa to get to the gin.

The sun is streaming through the window here, there's the Goon show on Listen again and there's chocolate in the cupboard. Life today could only be better if I had a hairy biker nibbling my toes.

Lines about Love - Enjoy:

Love is like playing the piano. First you must learn to play by the rules, then you must forget the rules and play from your heart. - Unknown

Within you I lose myself
Without you I find myself
Wanting to be lost again.
- Unknown

If I could reach up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand. - Unknown


Love the last one.

I got a result!
And not just a piddling little result which requires more stuff to back it up with either. No a REAL SOLID HONEST TO GOODNESS RESULT!!!
If I can find two more just like it then that is a real solid paper I can write about it, or a practice paper at least.
I'm a happy bunny now, after two years of nothing working it suddenly looks like stuff could turn out OK after all!

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!

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...

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...

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!

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