A Month has Passed

The reason that I haven’t been posting…again. Is that my computer went kapoot. Then the laptop that Dad lent me went kapoot, so that was that.

All work and no play makes MrGT a dull boy…

He got up with good intentions as always this morning, but as I got the Girls up and ready this morning, about to embark on our fortnightly sojourn to a ‘larger’ shop than our local co-op to stock up on fruit juice and toilet roll, I found him sitting on a stone contemplating his navel [...]

Err…I’ve changed my mind…can I have my garden back please?

The mini digger has gone now, but the distruction caused is still widely evident. I don’t have a picture of the pad for the conservatory that Hubby and Mr Next-Door did the day before yesterday, but needless to say that it is the possibly the only part of the garden (now) safe to walk on!

One thing after another…

Croup,
We’ve had viral gastroenteritis, coughs and colds and now just to top it off, the Tallest started up with Croup, we’d all had a very long day taking my sister and her family to the airport to wave her off on Saturday, as she has emmigrated to the US, and we got home thinking that [...]

The Lurgy

Transmission temporally halted until the whole family gets back on their feet again – V & D and bad colds, this is not turning out to be a good week!
And the bloody washing machine has packed up – just when I have 3 lots of bedding and innumerous towels and cloth nappies to wash after [...]

Good Gifts – Dishcloths

They might seem like rather strange little gifts to give, but crochet cotton dishcloths are fab to use, and quick and easy to make, so that’s a bonus on both counts. Once you’ve wiped down with one of these you’ll never go back to shop bought.
Just make sure that it’s 100% cotton, for the best [...]
