Friday the 13th

I awoke to a cold and frosty morning. The grass was crisp underfoot and there was a mist, Do you know it almost felt like winter. 

I was so in awe of the cold weather I missed one bus then had to run for the next 2. I thought oo maybe its the start of a bad day as it is Friday the 13th...

I figured that I was going to be in for a busy and stressful day at work and instead I had a nice day!!! I actually cannot remember the last time I thought that was a nice day at work. It was not to busy, I was able to be productive and we had a few laughs as well. 

The day included, a quick blast of Mel and Kim's respectable, a wonderful eclectic brunch which included lots of brioche and chocolate cake with sausages and egg mayo. (not all eaten at once) A whole bag of apples that no one opened. A special highlight was when I felt my friends baby's foot as it was pressing against the inside of her pregnant belly it was beautiful. 

After work we were off to Aldi, just a little shop today. So I start picking up the fruit and veggies and LSP goes off up the middle. As soon as I turn the corner from loading up from the first aisle I can see LSP and I think to myself oh no what have you picked up now. 

It is usually practical and today it was a new back doormat. Its just the Randomness of Aldi...Then it was a gift for OD and ODBF. We bought them a little something some new gym bags that we took round with some fish and chips for tea. 

They have made a lovely home together, and OD is very stylish 

Now we are home. 

With full tummies, (no washing up) the shopping is put away I am now on the sofa, with some magazines and blogs to catch up on. only a party to go to on Saturday so the weekend will be pottering around. 

No Disasters this Friday the 13th. 

As the month is nearly half over I will have a look at my challenges, I have not started to gather photo's or started on my monthly make! 

Hope you all have a good weekend.x 

Friday feeling on a Thursday!

Well I have that Friday feeling! that mad last rush at work to get everything done before you switch off the PC, gather your bags and walk out the door.

I had another manipulation after work today, lots of pressing, twisting and traction. I do feel the benefit of it. I am sat here with no headache (at the moment). I hope that it is good for the weekend!

This weekend I am going to a hen party!!!  Then a nice lunch on the Sunday....Its going to be exciting I will tell you all about it when its done. (2 nights out in 2 weeks)

I am on the sofa, having eaten a take away curry....

I have been shopping today and will post the photo's soon!

Tomorrow will be a mad rush of moving OD, before the royal wedding starts... 

Hope you enjoy your Friday tomorrow.

Simple pleasures...

Sometimes, its the simple things in life that can be the most satisfying. Here are some of mine.....

Bread and Jam, babies laughing, my dog when she lies her head on my lap, that Friday night feeling, taking my shoes off at the end of the day.

Birthday cards, my children sleeping, looking at old photographs, log fires, charity shops, walking, Snow, Daffodil's 

Lie ins, cuddles, Sleep, knitting, Sewing, Stew, wine, weekends, Blogging

A mouse's tale

I looked back through my blogs and realised I had not made anything with my hands for ages.......

So tonight, I pulled out my knitting needles and created something.

I love knitting, sewing and other forms of stitchcraft. The difficulty is that I have carpel tunnel syndrome in both of my wrists. Short wrist movements make my hands lock up and freeze so big projects are out of the question.........

I needed to find something that was small and take no more than an hour.....hmmmm, I knitted a mouse.

 A curious little thing with purple eyes and a very long nose.......

and a cute ear.......

I thought she looked adorable, LSP suggested she become a cat toy!!!!

Well its Friday night, I had a good day at work, I have not brought any work home with me, I have had a lovely curry for tea, now some TV and bed....Have a good weekend everyone!!!
