Karma

A colleague brought me flowers today. She didn't know I'd had a very testing weekend and those flowers were just the thoughtful lift I needed. They were a thank you for something I'd done - only a little thing - last week for her. Therefore my small deed induced her kindness which was really appreciated and arrived at just the right moment. Be kind, say thank you and people will be kind to you. Not all people, but the people who matter.

Mad Monday

Well that weekend didn't last very long did it...

I'm actually glad to be back at work, lots of hard work in the pipeline, I like it more when it's in it's anticipatory stage though:)

Listening: Benny Goodman & Bud Flanagan (underneath the arches...) oh I was born after my time!

Looking forward to: Pottery Class

Wishing: for inspiration

Drinking: About to make 4th cup of tea of the day

Making: It's a secret (shh)

Enjoying: Planning Big Si's 60th and retirement do - not 'til August but oh have we got plans for you Mr Simon!

Liking: Posy's mosaics

Feeling relieved for: Sandi and Sonny

Picture of the day: Sopher's lovely flowers from Ma's 60th party... how many of these was it Sophers?... 27... 28?!!!

The one in which you'd wished you'd kept your gob shut or.."Be Careful what you offer to do...."

Well, the short version is I have to make a sorting hat... (it doesn't have to sort - although Sophie says if I can make it talk she'd be "fine" with that) by next Wednesday.... Well that is my weekend sorted!!;-)

Although I'm quite looking forward to KnitFlicks at the Picturehouse at FACT cinema here in Liverpool. Any other Scouse bloggers up for it???? If you are there wear a rose in your lapel!!!!! He Heee Heee! They are showing Atonement on Sat afternoon with the lights slightly raised in order for loonies like me to sit and knit through it!!! How cool is that, and then I've to dye Susie Q's hair and then teach her how to make Stew..... poor girl has missed out on this!!! Susie Q is Sophers housemate and the major news in that arena is I suppose that my mate Steve (see previous Steve the Roman posts for this) is going to be moving in with them as one of their flatmates moves out at the end of the month!!! (Oh the fun they are going to have with you and your madness eh Steviepops??!!!!)

I'm still rather lurgied up, I tried going back to work this morning - big mistake, was promptly sent home again and slept all afternoon with Dougal (cat) despite the Hitchcock film on the TV.

Whilst being poorly ick, Mummy and Daddy have been taking care of me very well and I've holed up at their gaffe with kitties to cuddle and the t'interweb to look at and her backlist of country livings (all in Magazine boxes - she'd also make a good Librarian!) and I've been watching all the birdies flitting in and out of the garden... including this lovely

The only one who wanted to stay still enough for a portrait!! I really need to get into "Action Shot mode"

Well I'm sure you've all had enough of my ramblings today, I'll post more of the sorting hat as I'm going along with it! so for today I'll sign off with some pretty flowers 'cos we all need a bit of prettiness and my sister does good flowers!!!
