DANTE TO SCHOOL, MOSAICS AND GIRLS NIGHT OUT

 


Early start for me today, no sleeping in.

I'm taking Dante to school for Bex, as she has an early appointment.

After that, I'm heading over to Cambridge for mosaics.  I'm not sure what I will do over there today, might just sit and yak!

I know I now need to get more of the glue I was using at the beginning.  So, that has to happen before I start on my next project.

When I get home, I'll grab some lunch, then probably have a nana nap.

Later on this afternoon I shall be going back to Cambridge for a girls night out.  Just a small gathering of friends, yakking and having a few laughs.  I really look forward to those nights out.

ABOVE:  These two cows came home with me from Australia.  My sister gave them to me, as she knows I love cows.  They are rather cute.

Right, time to get up and start the day.


Just had a change of mind on going to mosaics today.  My head cold is much, much better, but I think I need to be mindful of one of our members.  She is battling cancer and I really don't want to give her this cold.
So, I will go to the Village Coffee and Chat morning instead!  *** edit:  didn't go to that either, thought better of it.  Old people... colds... yeah nah.  Better not.

Dante just got dropped off, he's a happy boy this morning.  

ABOVE:  I took out the braid this morning.  Then was like, should I brush me hair?  Yeah NAH.  It would frizz something shocking.  So I've just left it as is.  It looks ok.

I got a text message from a lady who'd seen my Scrappy Dolls at the Tamahere Market a couple of months ago.  She is coming over today to buy a couple.

ABOVE:  LOL, they are all lined up, waiting for her. 

I'm GOING BACK TO MY SISTER. TODAY, AT 4.30.  
Last second decision... mad dash to get tickets, pack a backpack,  passport,  cancel appointments,  bla bla bla.
On the way to the airport now.
Lacy will be at ours this afternoon to meet with the lady for the Scrappy Dolls.
I hope I've remembered everything.

ABOVE: At the Gate. Got 2 and a half hours to kill. So glad I got these headphones, they will help kill time in the plane.  I didn't think I'd need them quite so soon.

ABOVE: Our plane.

    I'm really enjoying following your blog again now that I’ve wrapped up work and officially entered the retirement chapter! 😊 It’s so nice to see you and Stu settling into the downsizing stage — your new place looks lovely. The area where you do your morning walks looks especially beautiful! PS. You could sell the scrappy dolls online - I've not seen dolls like this before. Cheers Glenys
