I'm looking after Gracie this week and tonight we were all cuddling on the sofa ... it started off as a nice cuddle all together ... just before this photo Gracie had her nose tucked right into me :)
then she snuggled deeper into me ... she got right under the quilt and spread out .... poor dilly-dog ended up on the floor ...
look at the look she is giving ... Gracie is under the quilt somewhere :/
This is a boring bit of blogging I know ... but I have to just say how wet
Dilly-dog & I got today .... we set of to the Post Office in sunshine ... I had sunglasses and no coat. By the time we had reached the end of the road it had started ... now why didn't i turn back I hear you ask .... well I though it was only going to be a very quick shower ... but it wasn't ... the rain came down and we got totally soaked!
Had to get completely changed when I got home! ...... April showers eh!
I did come home to a nice coffee though ... ahhhh, coffee .... I do love coffee .... but I know I must cut down ....
I have been cutting down for the last few weeks (not that it stops me
thinking about it! hehe) ..... I have been drinking more water which I
love in the summer .... but I love coffee too .............. all this
entry is, is to say 'coffee ~ I love you!'
Dilly and I have a morning routine going on ... after my bath we always have a cuddle on the bed ... Dilly jumps on the bed ready for me and we just have a couple of minutes 'our time'
she then always falls asleep while I get dressed!
In my big clear out I poured out some old rose perfume .... it was so
lovely when I had been given it and rose is my favourite scent, but some
got on my hands and all I could smell for the rest of the day was this
really strong old rose smell that made me feel quite sick.
When I went to let
dilly-dog out just before bed tonight there was a very loud strange noise in the sky .... I think it was a helicopter, but it was sooooo loud. I though we were being attacked! There was the a big flashing light so it must have been searching for something.
10 years ago this May I did my 1st ever craft fair (well it was actually a street market) with my sister-in-law Bex. It was a great success taking over £80 and it spurred me on to start my business properly in September that year. I think this photo was actually taken the following year at the same event .... The 1st time I did it I only had a few
baskets of cards!
I can't believe that 10 years have passed already!
I feel that change is on its way and I am not sure what is going to happen. I feel like I need to do something different .... that hopefully involves traveling which I love, but haven't done much of in recent years due to being tied to the business.
... watch this space!
Dilly and Gracie-pie really do love each other ... they sometimes play fight and Dilly doesn't like it when I cuddle Gracie and not her, but they are so sweet together ...
I have been digging under my bed today looking for things that I can
sell on eBay. I really feel that I want to down size .... who knows what
the future holds and I feel like I want to be ready when it happens
....... I found some goodies and some dust!
Where does the time go and why does there never seem to be enough hours in the day ... I feel like the year is shunting past and I am not catching up .... its Spring ... my birthday in less than a couple of weeks and I don't feel like that I have achieved anything much this year.
You know,
Dilly-dog has never walked away from a cuddle ... she never wants kisses and cuddles to stop ..... its very sweet but does mean I don't get much done! ..... but I guess that's why I got her so am not complaining!
We went into Eastbourne today as my niece needed some new shoes for school ..... there was a really long queue in the shoe shop so while we were waiting for an assistant we took it in turns to go and do our banking. I was in the queue so long at my bank that my sister in law and niece got fed up with waiting in the shoe shop and thought they would try some others ..... no luck ....... we seemed to have queued for an hour for nothing ..... after being stuck in traffic we went to a large shoe shop out of town and managed to find her some lovely shiny black school shoes ....... what a frustrating few hours! .... we treated ourselves with a croissant each :)
My sister in laws birthday today and a lovely shopping trip to Bluewater .... she spent her birthday money and got a couple of lovely dresses and some pretty shoes ... perfect for a wedding that she has to go to next month. We had lunch out and then a Chinese for tea ...... had a horrid headache though this afternoon .... why does that always happen? ... the headache I mean, not the birthday trip to Bluewater ;)
I have been re-reading The Ladies No.1 Detective Agency books before I sell them .... they are really lovely and easy to read ..... I love the way that they talk .... it is written in a way that makes me hear the African accent in my head. They have been on the radio too which is probably why I have the accent going on in my mind. I love how she is so caring and polite to each other.
I am an Auntie again .... Samuel James born today.
it has been so lovely seeing family this Easter ... Dilly has loved having Luke around too and given him lots of her special love ...
she hadn't seen him since Christmas and felt that his ears and nose and face and everything else needed washing! ... oooh and there is one month to my birthday!
Went on an adventure today to my mum & dads new house ... its lovely and even though they have been in less than a week, it already feels like home. Their central heating doesn't work yet (dodgy boiler) so it feels very cold ... the house has been empty for 2 years. Herefordshire is very pretty ... there are lots of pretty villages with lots of pretty houses. I feel very at home surrounded by all the trees and the beautiful scenery ... I could live here ... there are LOADS of trees
