DAY 13

Day 13 is not so bright and shiny as it has been.   It's very mizzy out there and actually coldish and dark in here - hence the tomato soup! It's the only soup I eat/drink/slurp/spill!

Ron has gone off to meet his brother in town, their monthly meeting so it's nice and peaceful here at Lindeck Lodge!      Trouble is I have been on the Wool Warehouse site and spent some pennies.    DS2 has asked me to crochet a face cloth which resembles a backgammon board.   So of course I don't have the right colours in the cotton (well I do but it's all different types!) and then decided whilst I was there I may as well get some other colours to re-do the monkey I started yesterday.............

Now some of you may remember DS2 - he who wanted me to crochet a pig for a new venture his girlfriend and her friend had gone into.   The Fat Butcher.  Now, Mr L and I have eaten at said establishment and I have to say it was not half bad.   Sharing platter we had.

Anyway he found a picture of a crocheted pig on the internet and said "this is what I want for the launch party of said Fat Butcher"    Urgggg I cried at first.   I admit it did grow on me somewhat.    I have no idea who crocheted it in the first place or who to credit for it.   There was no pattern so I just copied the picture.     Here is the finished article. Apparently it went down really well - not literally, of course, cos that would be silly!

I would like to thank the person who did this originally.

So watch this space for the backgammon flannel!!!!!

Now for my advent pressie.     Tash, you know me so well.    I just LOVE Angels.

This is a gorgeous Trumpeting Angel stamp and a Bookmark Calendar.   Never seen one of these before but I will use it in my 2014 journal which I am going to do to commemorate my 60th birthday next month.      

I may  even bore the pants of you lot with a blog journal too.    I am determined to do a photo a day anyway.  Well that's the plan!

Off to make a cuppa, finish Mouse Mittens and put the heating on cos my feet are cold (even in my new red sheepskin lined slippers).

Thanks for stopping by.

Day 13 - Just add ink....

Guessed what it was today and then "assumed" it was an angel. Right on the guessing it was a stamp but wrong on the guessing it was an angel. Opened it and found this:

Thanks Lesley - this is just sooooo useful. Got all these things going round my head now but they will have to stay there until the new year. They are crashing around with all the other things going on in my little head.........

I am knackered. This invalid looking after is wearing me out. I have total admiration for those that do it all the time. Went to bed at 10.30 last night, slept right through til 5.30, went to the loo, went straight back to sleep and the next thing I knew it was 8.45..............

We had a cooked breakfast today (first time in ages!) and then I cut the invalid's hair and got him showered, he shaved and is now crashed on the sofa with the Mail on Sunday, a sticky bun and a cup of tea. Ooooh the life!

Just realised I haven't checked our lottery. If I am not back for 5 years then you will know we've won - actually I am not sure I could keep it to myself anyway so I'll see you in 5 (mins that is not years!).

Well that didn't take long to check! Not a titter! Oh well there is always Wednesday!

I have to go and look for some stain/paint for the cabin now. Can't decide - I think I want red cedar - you know me and colour. It probably won't be what I am expecting........ I quite like it as it is but if we paint it that colour it will get soooooo dirty soooooo quickly. HELP !!!!

Going to finish some projects up there in a min.

Thanks for stopping by.
