Muppet

Muppet is one of my Old Ladies.  The other is her sister, Spooky.  They are total opposites.  Muppet is quiet and has only just decided to trust me, after 16 years.  Spooky is very vocal, podgy and cantankerous!    Muppet is quiet and shy and tiny..although she has recently been brave enough to sleep on my bed....along with the other mogs.  She is sociable while her sister isn't..towards the other mogs that is.   Spook and Muppet are big fans of Cilla dog...and do a regular cuddle up! lol

Spooky, lounging!

 Mupps....been reading Jackie Collins, it seems!!

Anyway, Mupps is not well.  She's old and has developed breathing problems.  I first thought that she was just snoring but it's not that.  She's getting really old.  Vet vist Monday.  Don't want her to suffer, although she seems happy enough at the mo.

She's a lovely, loyal companion.xxx

It's the anniversary of my friend's death....all those years ago.  He took his own life.  What a shocking waste.   Was a young man with a bright future.  

The older I become, the madder I get at what he did.  When I visit his grave and do a tidy up, I don't half chunter at him!

Yes, when I get 'up there' I'm still going to give you a knuckle sandwich for doing such a stupid thing.   You have no idea of the hurt you caused, especially to your parents..God rest their souls.  x  

2013

Happy New Year to all my family and friends.  Hope 2013 brings you your heart's desire.

(If I ever win the lottery, I'll sort you all out!  Promise.  lol)

Spent a lovely evening with Son no 1 and his family.  Had a Chinese takeaway and lots of fun, yacking!   Little grand daughter is so lovely.  Kept her Auntie Junior busy!  lol

Got a new camera.  Yay.   Just got to figure it all out re the uploading of piccies.  lol  My eyesight is shot!  Gets me down re the reading of instructions, but we'll get there!

All my lot are sparko!  I have just wished Junior a Happy New Year.  She is full of cold, bless her.  Has taken a hot toddy of honey and lemon to bed.  Olive cat is here, too....and Cilla dog...and she's busy burgling the cat biscuits!  lol  The rest are snoring away on my bed!

And for 2013?

Just want to be happy and healthy.

(Getting a Pilates machine.   Maybe that'll sort out my rheumatoid arthritis!  Hope so! ) 

Happy New Year

Ooops

Youngest grand daughter, who is only 19 months old, has decided to embark on a bit of decorating.

She managed to strip a bit of wallpaper off....down by the skirting board....toddler level.  lol

When we visited I asked her if she was responsible for the bits of wallpaper that were on the carpet.

She looks at me....and says..."Oooops".....and then....finger to lips....."Sssshhhhhhhhsh".

More innocent kids and adults shot in the US of A.

Just ban the bloody guns.   End of.

Don't think the founding fathers would be too impressed at what's going on.    The Cowboys and Indians, Boston Tea Party, Colonial days are long gone.

Politicians won't, apparently, pursue banning guns because of the funding threat to their political careers.  Well, limit funding.  Give them all a set amount for their campaigns.  All equal that way.   No sucking up to sponsors, therefore, required.  That should sort them out.

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.
