I have been working on several knitting projects so have not had time to blog..... (excuses)
A friend of mine has had a delicious little boy and I have been knitting him some full length pants (photos to follow) and a relative of Ian's is having a little girl any day so I have been knitting for her too.
It has been a busy couple of weeks media wise and there are lots going on in the world.... a snapshot,
Nick and Dave are gearing up for a backlash from the Unions over their impending spending cuts. Oh dear, what a depressing place to live at the moment.
The Pope's visit. Not sure whether I agree with the Pope having a "State" visit. This visit was arranged by the former Goverment - reasons not given - and honoured by our current Government - cause they were too scared to put a stop to it, even though they are making cuts left, right and centre, they deem it ok to spend an enormous amount of money on this visit. This is a visit to a country where the majority of the people ARE NOT catholic!!! Conclusion: I must be a Nazi because I don't believe in the drivel that the Pope comes out with about condoms, HIV, pornography, women not being priests oh and his opinion about priests who abuse children..... move them on to abuse even more children. (end of rant)
The coffee machine that blew up in a Sainsbury store south of the Watford Gap - this was strange, perhaps someone thought the Pope was having a latte in the cafe - no, all joking apart, I visited Costa Coffee, as I usually do on a Saturday morning, to find myself taking a back step when the coffee was being made.
Oh and Rooney - well poor old Colleen, she has forgiven him - silly moo moo.
a nurse or doctor maybe?
my youngest daughter has decided that she loves to dress up with bandages!!!!! yes, she is funny..... its a bandaged head today!!!!!
another year passes.....
a great signed photo..... goal against Arsenal last season
sorry about the ears.... but lovely earrings.....
MY BABY'S THINGS......
my baby is no longer a baby..... i will be, reluctantly, putting some of her things on ebay. If anyone is interested you can email me on angela.dean@hotmail.com.
A novel idea .........
...... I have had an idea to write a novel in the form of a "blog". I do not have any subject material yet but have a few ideas...... maybe a chapter a week......
NOT BEING VERY PATIENT....
When I came back I could not help myself opening it.... it is my birthday next week and although I knew it was a birthday present from my daughter I had to have a peek....
A beautiful Willow figure called "Birthday Girl".
There is another present along with a card that I will open on my actual birthday.
Thank you Amy. xxxx
Lunch at Compo's
Today we took the smaller children to visit Holmfirth, the town where Last of the Summer Wine was filmed. I had never been before even though it is only a 45 minute drive from home. It was a lovely day all round, the weather was good, the children were well behaved (well sort of) and we had a lovely lunch at Compo's cafe - which is a ten minute walk out of town http://www.compos-cafe.com/.
We then drove back a scenic route which was lovely. We looked at the villages we were travelling through and listened to the girls giggling in the back of the car.
We then went home via Costa Coffee, one of our favourite haunts. We go for coffee at Costa every Saturday morning, chat, read the paper, do some emails (more on that one later) and watch the girls enjoying themselves. Look at these.......
sharing a red berry cooler .........
being a pirate, with the rolled up till receipt as telescope......
being a pirate with a rolled up piece of paper from my shopping list book - we did not have two till receipts, this nearly caused full scale war......
I'm actually very proud of these pictures. They were took on my new telephone, a blackberry. I am definately a technophobe. I have had a basic Sony phone for the past two years. This was due for upgrade this week so I went for the new Blackberry, the small girly one I suppose. I have set up my emails, put pictures in my contacts so when the phone rings a little picture of the caller appears. I have done so much on this phone, I am in love with it. It is now my little diary, address book, reminder..... it is wonderful. Thank you Ian for convincing me to get one..... I'm not scared at all.
