The Wacky Workshop

Yesterday, I found my self killing some time in Portrush. I dandered round a few shops and then decided that I fancied a nice cup of coffee. Well, Portrush on a wet January weekend is not the place to go looking for a decent cuppa. Especially not when all the cafes have [...]

Make sure the dog remembers me

This is my current knitting project. It will be a jumper when it is finished.
I took me a day off. Nothing better than pottering around the house, doing as I please. It gives me a little time to update this site with all that I have been making recently.

Jam

Remember a few entries ago when I mentioned that I had been told something that made me smile? Well it is bean spilling time. For those of you who don’t know - I am employed by a company via a recruitment agency (better know by me as ‘those bastards’). The good news [...]

Smiley Face

At work today I was told something that pleased me immensely - don’t even ask, I wouldn’t tell a soul! The result of this is that I am in a very good mood. That, and the fact that the days are already growing longer, has given me a smiley face.
Tonight it is my [...]

Is Curry Healthy?

Well, I don’t know. But I know a man who reckons he knows a bit about it - watch this space!
Was woken this morning by the sound of a gale blowing, so decided to curl up in a ball and not get up until later. It was a good plan as the [...]

Bellyache

We have taken possession of the new car, and left our old car with the dealer - soon she will be a tightly packed metal box. I am sad to see the old car go. D is beaming with joy over the new car, and wouldn’t let me close the living room curtains [...]

Seems that my blog is not working today! It doesn’t like the change in date. Unfortunately my man who knows about these things is in bed asleep, having spent all night and part of this morning on the razzle. We were at a party. I, being the wise lady that I [...]
