Hello there ....
just a little catch up and a few pic's of today's doings.
I have read a couple of Blogs in the last few days that have left me a bit ... well ... surprised and rather confused.
The blogs were ones I read on a regular basis and I thoroughly enjoy sharing the ups and downs of peoples lives ...
What surprised me and confused me were comments left by some rather unpleasant individuals who said the blogs were boring/mundane because they were about everyday life.
The girls talked of their daily tasks and challenges ... something we all have... and a lot of which we all have in common.
I'm confused because why oh why choose to read if you think we are boring ... we talk of life ..
So here we are again ... and tonight I chose to celebrate the boring and mundane ... the everyday life ... of Me.
This is my day...
I fancied something a bit fruity this morning ... the fruit bowl was sadly lacking ....
So I rootled through the 'tins' cupboard... and following
Meanqueens advice blitzed a couple of cheap as chips tins ... of Approved Foods Manderin Segments in Juice.
Lovely ... thick tasty orange juice.
Its that time of year again ... well almost ...
so I had bought in a few bars of 'well priced chocolate' Lidl's best ... ready for the Easter Bunny.
A few years ago I invested in some basic chocolate moulds ... some Easter Bunnies and some Christmas thingies.
I find this a nice task ... making little sweet treats for family and friends ... and its become a bit of a traditional thing within the family ... along with the Christmas stockings.
And it works out a little cheaper than spending on all those chocolate eggs where the majority of the product is the cardboard packaging.
(Yes ..I know ... we are 'Special' here ...we do believe in Fluffy White Easter Trains!) ...who do you think brings the Easter Bunny ... he can't hop all that way!
A little bit of sewing on the Make Do and Mend front .... a friends perfectly good skirt .... just a bit too long ...so she hadn't worn it too often ... so I chopped off a couple of inches. Lets hope it sunshine's this summer and she gets a chance to wear it.
And for Hubby P ...
Hard working and busy as ever ...
a hearty ... rib sticking Shepherds Pie ...(with no hidden vegetables!)
And for me .... nice fresh cabbage to go with it.
Just had to show you these ... you may love them .. or hate the idea of them ....
but non the less they have arrived in a box of stock to be sold ...
something different to say the least.
Taxidermy at its finest ... they are very well done ....
four birds of the Corvine family.
A Rook ...a Crow .. a Jackdaw and a Magpie..
So ... a Murder of Crows ...
A ? of Jackdaws ... a ? of Magpie's....
and of Rook's
One of you out there must know ....
~~~ and that's my day ~~
