Hmm, As explained yesterday, cold got worse combined with rain and hail, put a stop to the outdoor jobs. I did manage to achieve some things this weekend...

On Saturday morning I started with some restorative lemon verbena tea....

The flowers that were bought for the cemetery then brightened up the windowsill...

Then a brunch of bacon, spinach and mushroom... It is the nicest, breakfast/brunch ever....

I then tried to sort out the dog toys and remove the toys that are seldom played with or are to dirty......

The dogs found this very interesting and tried to destroy my efforts....

I did manage to change the sheets.....

You can't beat getting into freshly made and ironed sheets... bliss. 

Then seeing England beat France at the rugby...

Sorted out the odd socks in the odd socks bag......(which was a special Christmas pressie) 

I then retreated to the sofa for the evening.......

This morning...started off bright and sunny.....

So I dusted off a handbag...

So we went off to the farmer's market....

However, despite the bright start, the weather took a significant turn for the worse..... rain and even hail!!!!

We then went to grab a cup of tea......

Then, we came home to do the cooking, and wrap up some pressie's, including wrapping up the stuff for the blog swap.....

So although I managed less then half the list...It was not an idle weekend....

cats and dogs...

Good Morning all. 


I am sat on my settee with a rug on my knees feeling very sorry for myself. All I have is a cold nothing serious but enough to make me feel very crappy. LSP is also unwell so it is going to be a quieter weekend at our house.


The children have a busy weekend planned and part of my to do list has flown out of the window as the dog groomer has had puppy's so is unable to groom the dog!(I think it may have been the dog groomers dog who had the puppy's to be precise). As my cold has progressed into my chest I now cannot go and see my grandmother as I cannot risk passing it on to her!


We managed to do the shopping last night after work and before taking the Labrador to the vet for her 6 month check. 


The dogs are both curled up and quiet at the moment, which is a relief as they are not pestering us for their early morning walk.

As you can see the spaniel is looking very much in need of his trim....

Our Labrador however is looking perfect as usual......

I have been awake from very early this morning due to my cold, I put the tv on and drifted in and out of sleep. I discovered that fireman Sam can produce the most bizarre dreams....

It had something to do with cats....and a woman with the most bizarre voice. As a result, I ended up dreaming about a woman hiding cats in my sitting room, there were cats in the cupboard, cats on the shelf, cats on the tv and cats behind the sofa....

When I awoke I could still hear the woman's voice and I had that odd interface between waking and sleeping.... and looked around for the cats!. 


I had better start the day proper now, the beachams is starting to take effect, I will move the outdoor jobs till tomorrow as its raining cats and dogs out there!

Sniff..........Sniff....Achoo......

Urghhhh I have been slowly surrounding myself with tissue's and making odd groaning noises which can only mean 1 thing. I have a cold!!!!

I am not ill enough to be off work but well enough to go in and infect all my colleges. The worst thing about having a cold is not the feeling lousy, its the short temper and whingeing.

however i am not going to blog about my hot head, flushed cheeks, sore throat, heavy chest, runny nose, achy limbs, etc....oops.
