Two Halves.....

A week of two halves.

Gaining control of some things and losing control of others.

Satisfying, yet irritating.

Taking a step forward.....taking two steps backwards.

Just that sort of week. 

I have a poorly car, and a very booked up garage. It has meant walking everywhere, which isn't a bad thing for my fitness levels, but it has to have been on such a blustery and rainy week. Typical. It has NOT been a good look for me! Think long haired cat that foolishly tip toes around a fish tank and then falls in. That look when they emerge, well, I have been rocking that look all week.

Frustrations of the crafty kind. Making something for someone and not being happy with the colour choice, so ripping it all back, having a colour re-think and doing it all again.

Finally....sort of......deciding on how to decorate my living room. I have decided on furnishings, but still haven't decided on my wall shade. My favourite shade, (I had a small sample left from a rusty old tin in my shed), I tried to get colour matched. Turns out the DIY store colour match systems are fairly pants. What the gentleman described as an exact match in the store, translated to being about 20 shades far removed from what I wanted. Urgh. Annoying. I think I just need to paint my wall any old colour now and be done with it. I have spent a ridiculous amount on tester pots and all to no avail.


I am currently loving all the recent Spring magazine issues. I gave up buying magazines regularly a few years ago, and really only purchase Country Living and Country Homes and Ideas if they look really appealing. My oh My, they have been tickling the old taste buds of late. Very inspiring and full of gorgeous Spring colour. It puts my head in a little spin of glee. I'm a bit sad I admit.

I have been trying very hard to eat healthily too, (thank you for your recipe Annette,on your blog. It has become one of my lunchtime staples!). I'm trying to adopt some strategies from Deliciously Ella. The key to her routine though is organisation which she reiterates a lot throughout the book. Errrr, that's really not my strongest point, and I'm not sure ANYTHING in that book would appeal to the Bears. But, I shall persevere and see if I can make small changes. I'm really craving a Mars Bar at this point in the day though.......and a few tasty cake books are just taunting me in view as I type. *please pretty please willpower stay with me*

Don't you just love that line.......'full of the flavour of April and May flowers'.......It sold it to me. It's lovely with hot water and a dash of lemon. Good for the throat and good for the system.

Thank you for all your comments on my last post. I loved reading them. Glad I can make people chuckle!!!!!!!

Have a lovely weekend......
