Busy, busy, busy.....

Wow, that Bank Holiday weekend went fast. Can't believe it's back to work tomorrow and working all day too....ugh!

Saturday was spent running around various shops in town to get Megan some bedding, curtain poles, curtains etc. for her newly decorated room. We also had to visit the pet shop as we have a new addition to the family....a rescue rabbit, who Megan has named Jeff Jefferson!?! Don't ask!

Sunday we had a family get together are first in years. As the kids get older it is harder to get them all together in the same place at the same time. We went to The Crown at Broad Hinton and had a lovely lunch and then went back to Mum and Dad's for some photos (of course).

It was good to get together and catch up and hope we can do it again next year when Christopher and Helen come over.

It's been awhile....

Ok, ok, I've let it slip again but I will try harder.....I promise.

Since I last posted I have been to Spain to see my dear friends Sue & Bernie which was wonderful....it was good to see a bit of sun too. Megan and I tried to get in to see the Banksy Exhibition in Bristol last Saturday.....ha ha! The queue was 5 hours long when we arrived at 9am, there was no way I was gonna stand in a queue for that long so we went shopping instead.

I've just signed up for a Shimelle class and am looking forward to starting Learn Something New Every Day on the 1st September.

Tragedy!!

News headlines in the 'local rag' tonight are Local bookshop, Borders is set to close'! Nooooo! It's my favourite book/mag shop and I will go well out of my way to visit. They are supposedly opening up a New Look shop there instead.......oh my God!! We sooo don't need another skanky clothes shop! I've signed the online petition but don't suppose it will do any good now.

Wednesday warblings....

It's sooooooo hot at the moment but we mustn't complain otherwise the sun will go away and never shine again! With the aid of a fan and a 'Chillow' I'm able to sleep fairly well though the night and going to the cinema in the afternoon is nice!

I'm going to see My Sister's Keeper with Sharon this afternoon.......hope I'm not disappointed as the book was really good.

Rhys started work on Monday..........so it's his 3rd day now and he's still going! He doesn't feel to good most of the time and I don't know if it's the heat, the fact that he doesn't eat properly or drugs!! He better stick with it though.

Megan is pissed off at her job too and is looking for something else - I must give her a hand with her search 'cos she's getting very down in the dumps again.

RIP - Michael Jackson

Shocking news this morning........the death of Michael Jackson overnight from a suspected heart attack.

I may not have been his number one fan and didn't particularly like his recent stuff but you cannot fault his earlier music and his time with the Jackson Five.

I shall be playing his music over the weekend and remembering his happier times.

Longest day....

Summer Solstice but not a lovely bright summers day I'm afraid. It's grey, cloudy and gloomy.

Spent the evening on my own again last night watching yet another DVD....can't complain as he did ask me to go down the pub with him but I didn't want to.

Megan went camping - so I hope she's having a good time. Rhys went into town to eat Chinese and they ended up sleeping here last night....boy will that room stink today!

I made this LO for Shimelle's Month of Colour and am really pleased with how it turned out. I seem to be liking the more plain, graphic look these days. It's a 8 1/2 x 11 LO which is a first for me but I think I will like scrapping in these dimensions 'cos you can scan it instead of photographing them.

Thank Crunchie it's Friday!

I've been off poorly sick for the past couple of days with 'the trots' but am feeling a lot better today so back at work now.

I was really depressed yesterday over Rhys and college again! I don't know how he can have managed to do nearly a whole year at college only to kick off in the last few weeks. He doesn't seem to care about anything and doesn't have any dreams or goals in life. It's very sad for him and I feel partly responsible (even if Adrian doesn't) in some way.

Anyway 'tomorrow is another day' as Scarlet would say so lets hope it's a better one!

Catch up....

I've been catching up on a few photos I needed to take and upload for Shimelle's month of colour and have also completed a quick LO for the colour green.

Another gorgeous sunny day here. Could get used to this but mustn't 'cos it won't last (just wait 'til July!)

His father and I had a little chat to Rhys last night about college, jobs, career and life in general. I hope some of it sank in and he doesn't cut his nose off to spite his face.

Bought two new CD's yesterday...Paolo Nutini, Sunny Side up and Jazon Mraz, We Sing, We Dance, We Steal Things. Am liking JM straight away but PN will take a bit of listening too me thinks! One or two tracks are good but some are a bit strange....hmmm!

Sunday, Sunday, so good to me.....

Had a lovely day yesterday - went to a crop in the morning and fell asleep in the garden (in the shade) in the afternoon.

Managed to do two and a half layouts at the crop which must be a world record for me!

This morning I've been faffing about on Photoshop trying to do a 'montage' of photos.....I think I've sussed it now and here is the result. There must be a way of putting a background to it but I haven't sussed that yet!

Friday already.....

Dunno where this week went!

Had a bit of a domestic yesterday with regards to Rhys and College (again) and I have made an appointment to go in and see one of his lecturers and his immediate boss too. I'm getting heartily fed up of the goings on and so I'm going to try and get to the bottom of this!

I had a lovely 'post' day yesterday.....two DVDs from Amazon (Bleak House and Cranford) and some stash from Artbase. Naughty but nice! LOL

Also went down the pub with DH for a meal and a drink which was very pleasant too. All in all a very good day!
