Saturday Strangeness

Well, not the start to the day I was hoping for, but as there are no major plans for the weekend I'm ok with that.

We had an exhausting week finished by Scott performing in a school dancetime event at our local theatre.  They were the last group to go on & they were absolutely fantastic, obviously I'm biased but they were very well choreographed (Thank You Miss Wright x).  This is part of the reason to our lazy start today.

I woke up a little bothered by some people and the way some people interact, not quite understanding why it's always necessary to put people down.  Do these people feel better for trying to blow their own trumpet? are they desperate to seek approval from peers? do they honestly believe they are better than the next person? - who knows, but I find it all a bit unecessary.  Anyway, I tried to phone a few friends to chat about my thoughts but as most sensible people today, they were probably out enjoying the great spring weather we're having. 

However, my friend Helen in Edinburgh called & these concerns are now fading from my thoughts, not because I bothered her with them, but because we had a lovely chat about other nicer things & I feel ok again.  In fact ok enough to now go tackle the garden which hasn't seen any TLC since ooh, about August or September.  Shame on me I know but the weather has been awful until this last week & I have been very busy.

Love & light to all x

So much for new beginnings!!!!

Oops! hadn't realised it was so long since I last came here & so much has gone by!

Back in January my cat Pringle died at 14 and a half, due to a sudden heart attack, so not a great start to 2009!

In February my eldest son had a minor bout of shingles!!!! (shingles at age 11!!!! - not unheard of apparently) which thankfully passed with very little incidence.  This month also saw my youngest becoming age 9 & having a thoroughly brilliant birthday during half term.

So what will March bring ??? - well so far it's looking good.  We re-homed an 8 and a half year old cat, named Felix, from a friend of a friend who is returning to Australia.  My eldest has a place at the secondary school we were keen on for this September, I have re-ignited a passion for crochet & am loving making granny squares & hexagons (more on this to follow) & to top all that my mortgage has come down yet again - whoopeeeee!!!!!

Hope to stay more up to date as of now, God bless all
