Slow Days, Painting,Shoes and News

Hi guys :)

This week has felt rather slow, i've barely left the house and haven't even gone on a walk! (hoping to remedy that this afternoon if the weather stays nice)


I decided the living was desperate for a splash of colour
I crocheted myself some yoga socks, to keep my feet warm whilst maintaining a grip on the mat


I made scrummy lasagne the other day, with plenty of leafy green stuff

Have you noticed a recurring colour in the above photos? Everything has blue in it :D
My favourite colour :)


And i had to finally buy some new shoes, as my sandals bit the dust :( 
Only £2 and very comfy!
(look at those huge clown feet!)


If any of you are interested, i have made a new blog for my yoga adventures etc, so i can separate it from here

In garden news the leeks seem to have settled in, i've been keeping an eye on them and snipping the tops regularly to stabilize them. The courgettes *knock on wood* are also doing well

What have you been up to this week? :)

      Isn't it fab? I got the wee dishes from poundland, the original intention was for pies, but i've used them for lots of other things too :)

Adding to the flock- Ex battery hens

Hello! How the time has flown! This Saturday saw us adding two new girls to the flock. Meet Felicity and Penelope. The poor little buggers were so frightened by this strange new world, with fresh air, room to move and dirt to scratch in, but they've soon got used to it and are coming out of their shells. Felicity is definitely the bolder of the two, and now she's figured everything out she likes to show poor little Penelope who's boss Felicity checking out the dust bath Barbara checking out the roost in the new indoor shelter (formerly a wendyhouse) Felicity stepping out into the sunshine. This afternoon saw me teaching the new girls how to peck at the broccoli i'd hung up for them. Fliss was unimpressed, she'd rather try and eat my engagement ring. The good news is that after a week they are all starting to settle in with each other, and now there is much less squabbling between them and the older girls,...

It's here!

Hear that? That's the sound of a hallelujah chorus playing in celebration  Yup.  You guessed right, a miracle has occurred, the paint has arrived! Six tins of painty fun! Though no wallpaper. And they forgot one of the roller tray sets. But never mind! Because most of it is here and for now that will keep me happy :) We've already started on the top half of the living room, a gorgeous clean white, and the bottom half will be started on next week in Country Blue, i'll do a wee tour when it's finished :) The reason it won't be done until next week is because the plaster needs at least 4 weeks curing before it can be painted on. Irritating when i just want to get on with it lol To keep myself busy i painted my little telephone table   and the basket below is halfway through being painted, i'm waiting for it to dry before i do the next coat. I also painted my "Dresser" and how lovely it looks now :) the paint h...

Freewheeling!

Hi guys! Remember me?  Well...I wouldn't be surprised if you didn't! For the past month I have been thoroughly immersed in the cycling world as we finally got The Bearded Wonder a bike!  Some of you will remember that i got my bike last year from freecycle, and i've been patiently waiting until The Bearded Wonder got his to go out exploring together. looking cool and unruffled, whilst i was red faced and out of breath! i look like a hamster with its cheeks stuffed!  A fortnight ago we ventured out on our first 10 mile ride , the problem with going anywhere out of our village is you will always have a hill to come back up! halfway up! A well deserved doughnut once we got home!  I also made a wee saddlebag from an old handbag pocket with clips attached to hold the puncture repair kit, just in case :) Last week saw us cycling to the next village, about 4 miles away, and the whole way was downhill, we've bee...
