MOSAICS AGAIN TODAY

 

Today I'm off to Cambridge to work on my little projects at Mosaics.  I am enjoying it, it's different from sewing.  And I get to hang out with a few very nice ladies.  And Yak.  Gotta love the yakking.  πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‰

On my way over there, I'm dropping Coco off at Lacy's.  Lacy is going to give Coco a bath for me, as I don't want the 'wet dog stink'  in my bathroom after it took me 4 hours to get it spotless!  And it's too cold to bath her outside.

So, Lacy can do it in her wet room/bathroom for me.

I'll pick Coco up on my way home from Cambridge at lunchtime.

I have sold or given away SO MUCH STUFF, in preparation for our move to a much smaller home. While visiting Lacy yesterday something strange happened.

ABOVE:  I spied this gorgeous blue platter... said it was gorgeous and ... Lacy gave it to me.

I don't often get given stuff, it's usually the other way around.   

ABOVE: See how gorgeous it is!  I will definitely find a spot for it in our new home.

ABOVE:  Talking about our new home... I drove out to the Village yesterday as well.  Look what I spied in my new garden.  Such a pretty iris.  I think it will be interesting to see what pops up in the garden over time.


ABOVE:  It is now 12.37 pm, and I'm just in from Cambridge.  The day started with another really heavy fog... so I layered up with me thermals to keep warm.
Of course, by lunchtime (like now), I had to take them all off cos it's warmed up considerably.

ABOVE:  My Lizard On Shist is coming along nicely.  I added grout today, and next week one of the ladies will cure it for me.  I won't be back there now for a few weeks... due to moving etc.

ABOVE:  I got quite a few more bits 'n' bobs on this rock today as well.   It's looking lovely and bright.  A happy rock.

It is now lunchtime, so as per usual, I'll take a break and be back.... later.

Thanks for saying how lovely the Lizard looks, but remember, I didn't actually make him.  I'm just repairing him.

I had thought of leaving him in this garden when we move, but decided I liked him too much to leave him.

Our new garden is much smaller, more compact and I have no idea where everything will go!  Or if it will even fit.

Considering how much I've already given away ... I may still need to rehome more stuff!!!

That kinda hurts, but it is what it is.

Stew arrived home and I've just dropped him down at the pub.  I chose to come home again, instead of visiting the kids this evening.  I'm tired.  Bex is tired (baby woke too early today).  So  I now have about 3 hours to kill till I pick Stew up from the pub.

What to do?   Might just sit here and watch TV.

So I am watching tv, the NEWS in fact.  But I also just emptied 3 more kitchen cupboards and cleaned them.  More ticks.

9.38 pm:  I ended up spending half an hour with Stew at the pub.  Then home to chill out till bedtime.

Catch ya tomorrow.

  2. I assume you know this but in case you didn't... there are lots of dog wash areas now - they supply everything you need to wash your dog without the mess at home! Kind of like a car wash for your dog :) Once you move that might work well for you.

      Here, they are free. You wash your own dog using their facility. They are available a variety of places.

    3. Absolutely Lacy :) If you are happy to do that then of course. I was only commenting on Chris not wanting the dog smell at her place for now.

    1. I find it hard to believe anywhere in Aussy gets cold... but I believe you lol. Tomato soup is an all time HATE of mine, unless it is totally homemade.

    It may be time for Bex to think about another one for Lilly to grow up with.

  9. Just a suggestion, but when I moved last time I paid a cleaning company to come for a one off clean. They were awesome doing all the carpets deep cleaning, and windows etc. For a couple of hundred dollars, it took a lot of pressure off on moving day.
