M AND C VISITING

 


We have become very friendly with a couple who  come to the Tamahere and Cambridge markets, almost every time they are on.

C just loves my runners/wall hangings, and has bought quite a few in the past few years.

Today they are visiting us here, at our home.

Funny thing, M is associated with our village in an official capacity.  He's the one who had to mediate over our 'shed issue', and he's the one who ultimately said we had to remove it!

I certainly do not hold him responsible.  It was the shitty neighbours, through and through.

So, it will be really neat to have them over for lunch, I'm making cheese scones for them, as M just loves scones.  😋😊

Did I tell you that Stew came up with a name for those shitty neighbours?

I used to refer to them as the C*#TS, but Stew came up with the MOC's.

MOANING OLD C*#Ts.  Works for me.

I'm very tempted to make a 'name' plaque for above my clothes line  (facing them):   URMOCs.  But *sigh*, I probably won't.

ABOVE: LOST!  One of the hearts Steve 'n' Bex gave me... and they noticed it wasn't on our heart wall yesterday.  I have no idea where it is, and now...I'm going to spend every spare moment trying to find the bloody thing!

I'm a bit anal when it comes to that sort of thing... I have to find what's lost, or it drives me nuts.  *sigh*  😖😕


ABOVE:  Lily arrived at ours yesterday afternoon, sound asleep.  So adorable.  She was TOTALLY out to it, nothing could wake her for a good hour.


ABOVE: Steve managed to get the shelf unit on the wall in the smallest room in the house.  I then put stuff on it, or course.  

It's time I got outta bed and start the day.  I've got to get yesterday's washing in, make the bed, tidy the house, watch Stew vacuum, and then make scones.

Catch ya later.

**********
... well its been a busy morning getting the housework done and scones ready for the oven.
Stupidly,  I feel nervous that they won't come out right!
Like, I've made them successfully for years right? 🤣😊
2.50 pm, and whoop!  The scones came out beautifully, and our visitors arrived and we had a really, really lovely visit.
So much conversation, it just flowed.  Stew and M work in similar fields, and C and I also worked in similar places (Schools).  We actually have had HEAPS of things happen throughout our lives in common, so it was really neat to yak about life and what it can throw at you. 
I am sure we will continue to grow our friendship, outside of seeing each other at markets.  I'm hoping a really meaningful friendship develops over time, we are already well on the way.  😊 
And now... we shall put our feet up and continue to have a lovely day.  
It was rather cold this morning, with some rain... but now the sun is out and it's gorgeous again, albeit a bit windy.
I'm thinking for our dinner we will get something in, I'm feeling lazy. Decisions on what to have will probably take up half me brain function for the next couple of hours!  😂😅

6.30 pm, and we decided to have some chinese takeaways.  We've not had that in a very long time.  I'm looking forward to it very much.

OMG I have missed  having Chinese Takeaways!  It was soooo good.  

I'm now watching Pitch Perfect 2, which I've seen before a few times, and still love so much. Probably not as much as other people, sorry other people.  😂😅😖

    Nothing drives me more crazy than something that is lost somewhere in the house, garage or vehicles.

    Wish I lived closer. Your scones are amazing. If they don't work out, post them to me in an ice cream container and this Pig will eat them. Lol. Enjoy your visitors. Kj

    Did you ever get Stew to stick his finger in Coco's mouth to see if that was causing the stink lol

  5. Ahhh, no I didn't even think to ask him, and he didn't offer. She's missing a few teeth now, being OLD... so is bound to have a stinky mouth. Not that it stops her chewing or eating her food!

    I like the shelf, I think you need to take the dog to the vet to have her mouth checked , she is may be in pain, animals always hide their pain...would be good for you to know if all is ok or not....Peta

    Of course your scones were the very best. I love scones. Haven't eaten one in years. Glad it was another great day in your home.

    I am wondering if the new shelf is mounted too high - ?

    Is the one at the end of the kitchen counter similar? Is it mounted all the way to the ceiling?

  13. OMG. People are so weird. The shelf looks just fine. And even if it didn't... Who cares? It's a friggin' shelf.
    I am glad the shelf police are not scrutinizing MY house.
