Dreams, Light and Dazzle

This last week is near enough the 15th anniversary of my Dad passing.  Junior and he never met.    Makes me sad.  He's popped up in my dreams lately, though.  

Tonight there is a meteor shower expected in our area.   Maybe the skies will be lit up if the bad weather holds off.  (we've had freezing fog of late)    It's all due in the early hours.  I'll try and stay awake but I wouldn't bet on it.  lol

The house is all tinselled and baubled,  which is going down great guns with the mogs.  They are obsessed with it all, especially the baubles, which they play ping pong with.....at night..mostly!

I'm thinking of making Cilla dog a Santa coat with matching twinkly light earmuffs for her walks.  Well, it IS cold outside and you gotta take care of the elderly dog in your life, haven't you?   lol   If it turns out ok, will blog piccy.

Must remember to get batteries for camera!!!

Son No 1 was up the other day.  Helped me declutter some kitchen cupboards, as I was moaning about lack of space.  Well, to my embarrassment, he found loads of stuff with use by dates which had well and truly gone.   I had a jar of sun dried tomatoes from 2008....so he says!   So much for stockpiling!  lol

New Life

Going to be a granny, again.

Little grandaughter on her way, all being well.

Seen the 3d scan.  Amazing all this technology.

Sniff and Pluck

It's persisiting it down, again.  The weather won't let me sort the garden and hedges out..or the leak in the garden room.  Arghhhh.

We're both recovering from really bad colds and have irritating coughs, but we're Lemon and Honeying for England.  lol    Tena Lady is helping out, too!  lol

We're decluttering while we sniff.  A skip shall appear here soon and, hopefully, will help rid our house of useless clutter.  We've tons of garden rubbish, stuff that can't be recycled.  Anything that can will be recycled and freecycled or sent for the jumble sale (in aid of a local animal welfare place).  We need space for our work.  Me for the business and Junior for hers.  Am fed up of the dining table not being used for dining!  lol.  Gives me indigestion, eating from a lap tray.

Junior is blossoming in to a beautiful young woman.  She had her eyebrows (or, monobrow, as she described them!  lol)   shaped the other day by a beauty technician using a method new to me.. 'threading'..I think it's called that.   She looks lovely.  Never hardly squirmed, apparently, during her 'plucking'.   I wasn't there.  She went with her sis-in-law, who has all sorts of beauty therapy/treatments lined up to try.  Next one is for nails.  She can go for most things, except spray tanning, body piercings or tatoos!   Those are banned.   Junior's current beauty fad IS nails..and we have them all and all the jazz that goes with this 'hobby', including a stack of nail varnish colours.  lol

Anyway, Crimble is not far off so we are on with the present hunting/designing/making.    Bought my first pressie the other week....and promptly ate it (with help from others).  So much for buying tins of biscuits early!

It's cold here, so it's Tomato, Basil and Bean soup for lunch to help warm up our insides:o)

Heating is on.   Alas, couldn't wait until December which is when I planned to turn it on.  I really do envy people who have these multi fuel burners in their homes.  What I would give for one but, too expensive, as ever.  Bugger!

Happy

Am very happy.

Going to be a granny, again.

Mac is working, at last, too.

Yay!

Weather..not just a British thing.

To all my friends and readers in the USA, I hope you keep safe and well amid all this Hurricane Sandy stuff. 

Keep safe.  Much love. xx

Welcome to the Family

New car parked outside.  Yay!  

No more lugging heavy shopping up and down hill 'n' dale.

Junior is happy.  Only a couple more years and she'll be able to take her driving test.  lol

I always give my cars names. 

I had one which I bought from a Mr Holmes.  So we called it Sherlock.

Last one was named Judith, courtesy of Big Bro.  Registration number plate made that sort of obvious. 

This one is same make, less doors...and a tad racier.     Anyway,  she's called Ursula.   She's sort of a twin.  And my thinking behind this?    Phoebe out of Friends stuff.......she has a twin who is less conservative and a bit of a goer.....blah, blah.

Yeah, I know.  What an imagination!  lol

We're Doomed!!!

There I am..pootinlg away and thnk, yes, I'll blog that.

Fifteen minutes later, when pc has fired up and  I'm 'on'...I forget what the f**k I was going to blog about.

Hail...Old age!!
