afternoon tea

Sorry there was no post yesterday.  Between trying to get something done about my car and some serious housework the day just disappeared.  In the evening I watched TV and did some knitting.  As far as the car is concerned ... you really don't want to know! I phoned a garage in the morning and was assured someone would recover the car during the day, guess what, nothing happened so this morning I phoned a different garage and am waiting for them to phone after recovering the car but I'm not holding my breath.  Will keep you posted.

Hugs

Anne

Sewing Bea

Hi! I'm going to use this card for my oldest friend, we've known each other for 43 years!!!  It's her birthday later in the year but I saw this image and thought of her.  We used to make all our clothes when we went dancing in our youth, so you can see where I'm coming from!

It's a lovely day here, sunny and warm so let's hope it stays that way for a few days but according to the weather forecast it's to get cold again at the weekend with the possibility of snow. 

Hugs

Anne

Be Mine

Hi, early on the go this morning as I'm off out for lunch with my friend then I've to take my granddaughter to the dentist for her second lot of extractions.  Thankfully once she's done today that's her finished for a wee while as the dentist is going to have to wait to see if her adult teeth fall into the spaces or if she's going to need railtracks.  Once finished at the dentist my granddaughter is coming home with me and staying the night.  Mr C is working till midnight so we're going to have a quiet evening to let her get over the trauma, wonder what time she'll be asleep tonight?

Apologies for the poor photo quality as outside it's grey, miserable and a wee bit sleet in the air ... deep joy ... roll on Spain!

Blue Christmas

Morning all! At least it's a slightly better day here today.  The fog never lifted the whole day yesterday. Mr C and I had to go into town and oooh it was spooky.  We could hardly see in front of us and I think everyone else had decided to stay at home as there was nobody about.  Off to the hairdresser this morning to be made more beautiful :)  Hugs x
