granadad is in hospital

I don’t really know any details yet, Mum is meeting Julie at the Prince Charles in about 1hr, which is when we will find out more. All we know now is that he passed out at the dinner table last night and woke up there this morning at 6:30. He was able to shower and shave this morning but he a lot slower than normal at doing things, which is quite distressing to him as well as to us.

 

a good weekend

A really fun night. 

a new necklace

I love creating, be it photos, food, scrapbook pages, or other random things I create. The other night I was painting on a project with a mix of Lumiere Super Sparkle and Flamingo Pink Pearl-Ex, never one to let excess paint go to waste, I for some reason grabbed a Making Memories Vellum Tag and let loose covering the vellum with the paint, then rummaged through my drawers for a Sonnets Poemstone, add an eyelet and some jump rings and here it is.

I wore it on Thursday when I visited Emma at work and then shopping at Scrap That, it is always fun wearing a necklace that is different to the norm, the comments are always great 🙂

 The great thing about vellum tags for necklaces is they are so easy to make and change with your mood and outfit 🙂

no longer

do I need to scour the streets for a friendly or not-so friendly copper with an RBT Patrol. On the way home from work tonight I was waved into an RBT station. Such a short interaction, have you had anything to drink tonight mam? No, ok just blow into the tube till I say stop. I breathed and breathed and then he said you are fine to go. I had sort of been wanting to see how long I could go without an RBT but now I have had one. I thought of ringing Sean to tell him but settled on an SMS instead.

 But if I was drinking I think I would want to find an old Mac to make this. Apple G3 Beer Server, how very cool!

so fitting.

Sean and I were mucking about with my camera last night and the very last one was this one. Then I stumbled across the quote in the book I am reading at the moment – Abounding Grace (I love this book so much, I am going to have to buy it) It is quotes with thoughts and ideas by the collector, just so great.

It is a curious thought, but it is only when you see people looking ridiculous that you realize just how much you love them.” – Agatha Christie.

late night runs

slurppeEarlier this evening, whilst in the middle of creating some new "things" for me to play with I had the sudden urge for a slurpee, so I go ask Matthew if he wants one, I sure do he replies, I gather my supplies for the mission, I ask Matthew to go watch TV, so I have some light outside getting to the car, I belt up and drive down to 7-11, park and walk in on a mission for two slurpees. I walk up to the "fountain" and oh to my beating heart there is no lemon or lime just Cola, Raspberry, Orange and Honeycombe! Honeycombe, I tell you who thought of that. I put a smidgen of honeycombe in the bottom of mine to tast it – argh not getting that again. I pay the cashier, saunter back to the car and drive home. It is a struggle to get out of the car with two slurpees, lock it and close the door.

Thoughts lists for the Day.

Big hug for Gina

Big cheer for Emma and her guy.

Big congrats to Matthew for his uni results.

Big wishes for Barb and her new adventure
