WIP

Just a wee look at something I’m finishing off. I’m so pushed for time at the moment! At least I’m busy and not bored, eh?

What I missed – 6 of the best

Monday, May 30th, 2011

Although I had a fab time in Faversham last week, I missed out completely on seeing the main event which was the car and bus show. Lucky pao was there to take some photos for us to look at on Saturday. I would have quite enjoyed listening to the band that this open top bus [...]

Guess who’s going to be beside the seaside!

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

My day has improved immeasurably from feeling rather ill in the night and streaming with yucky cold and hacking phlegmy cough to agreeing to be a co-exhibitor in this! Fishing for Pearls is going to Whitstable! It is a lovely beach hut on Whitstable Harbour and there are 8 of us exhibiting for 6 weeks! [...]

Saturday Smiles

Saturday, May 28th, 2011

Just a quick hello and just wanted to share a smile with you. We were at a lovely wedding today and then at lovely Liz’s 30th birthday celebration. Despite all the craziness that this year has thrown us so far, we can just about smile a bit. Only less than 6 weeks and pao and [...]

Last week’s brief respite

Wednesday, May 25th, 2011

pao and I managed to grab a little time off last week and we went to St Augustine’s Abbey in his lunch hour. It was pretty nice to sit in the shade and enjoy lunch together. I liked being somewhere a bit quiet and looking at the pink flowers growing amongst the ruins. Until a [...]

Busy busy busy

Tuesday, May 24th, 2011

I love this photo of Tamyra She really helps me take life less seriously but she didn’t appear at all today. I worked solidly some of yesterday evening and all day today on a piece of work for a client but sadly all three colour cartridges on my laser printer all finished up so any [...]

Book 40: The Killing Place by Tess Gerritsen

Monday, May 23rd, 2011

It’s been so busy today I almost missed the library van. I haven’t had a lot of down time so nabbed a little hour this morning to recharge with a couple of rows of sock knitting but it doesn’t feel like quite enough. Big job to do tomorrow and once that is over then hopefully [...]

Why drawers and doors aren’t left open!

Sunday, May 22nd, 2011

Big noses root around and steal things! Paperclips in this case. Just popping in to say hello and that I’ll be posting some of pao’s photos of old buses tomorrow. Sadly (or not I would argue) I didn’t get to see any of the classic cars on show this weekend as I was too busy [...]
