Ten Things.......

☆☆☆☆☆☆

Thing One: 

I realise that if I put my mind to it, ignore my children for 2 days (save stick a bit of food in front of them 3 times a day and nod my head when they talk) I can get 60 sunshine day motifs made. Score. Granted, my eyes are a bit boggly, and my fingers are happy for a rest, but that's a mammoth motif session. My blanket might actually be ready by Easter, and at a size I am sort of happy with.

Thing Two:

I have yet another cold and I am like a bear with a sore head. They are a waste of time. End of.

Thing Three:

I realise I don't have a great memory.

Thing Four:

I am loving the magical properties of a Hoodie. I have NEVER been a hoodie wearer. Last month, as I was leaving the house to do a school run, I realised I had walked out of the house without a coat, and it was a tad chilly. Running late I grabbed the first thing off the hook, which was a hoodie. It was HUGE on me but the colour was 'winterberry' (if you are a big 'Friends' fan you'll get it) so I thought it didn't look too out of place on me. Actually, it was brand new and the fleecy lining inside was snug and cosy. I did the school run and on the way home popped into my local shop to pick up some food with Baby Bear. A bottle of wine was in amongst my groceries, and I was promptly asked for ID. I thought they were joking, and laughed a bit, until they just sat there waiting for me to produce some sort of ID. I thought it must be the hoodie. The snugness factor of said hoodie has meant I have adopted it, on 2 other occasions I have bought food with an age related product in my shopping basket, I have been asked for ID. This is one magical hoodie.Who'd have thought, all that face cream buying over the years, and all you need to do to knock 15-20 years off your age is buy a hoodie. I'm sold.

Thing Five:

I am loving fake candles. As an avid candle burner, I do worry about naked flames. I was over at my mums recently and she had some candles burning. I commented on how nice they looked and she told me they were fake ones. They looked so real and so cosy on. I found some and I think I might have to add to the collection. They are timer ones. They come on at 5pm and go off at 11pm daily. I don't have to worry about naked flames or leaving the room. They look so real, a couple of times my heart has been in my mouth when I have seen my mothers day cards close to them, then I remember it's 'A' okay. Who knew fake candles were my newest love?

Thing Six:

I've been feeling very mercurial recently.

Thing Seven:

Having thoughts about my blog space here. One minute stick with it, the next, lay it to bed, see.... mercurial. I always thought it would be a lovely thing to revisit in years to come. To remember the lovely bits of life amongst the not so lovely. I remembered when I was a kid and had diaries, I did the same thing, then re-read them a year or two later and chucked them in the bin. A waste of writing time. All rather boring. I wonder if I am heading the same way here. Blog wobbles.

Thing Eight:

I've discovered Rhubard and Custard  Jam. My taste buds screen 'more more more', my waistline screams 'are you kidding me?'

Thing Nine:

I went to a shop this morning and was given a free coffee. That was nice I thought. I then picked up a beautiful bunch of flowers, and the flower lady gave me a free same bunch to go with them. What a sweetheart. Then I saw a pretty crochet blanket. It was totally my style, and it was ready made........... and I happened to have vouchers.......so it was technically free. What a nice start to the day. Things like that don't happen to me. I forget......maybe I was wearing the magic hoodie???????

Thing Ten:

Nothing beats a good drink, a bit of crochet, and an itunes list of all your favourite songs at the same time. NOTHING.
