Bedroom Actvities & other stories...

 I'm tired and it's all due to sleeping with Mr. Raindrops

He is a snorer,

a  bad snorer

and
this week he has a cold which makes him even worse

He's driving me crazy

I have tried everything

but

the snoring continues...

I bought earplugs this week

but  I'm afraid that if I wear them

I won't hear the alarm clock in the mornings...

People must think we have a fabulous time in  our bedroom

the walls shake

the lights flicker
the windows  tremble

the floor moves
but the truth is

Fiona is awake and exhausted
while
he sleeps like a baby....

Weather wise it's been a bit of a disaster here,
rain, gales and a lack of  sunlight
I managed a couple of walks in between the showers
and it was lovely coming back,  having cups of tea, and enjoying HOME

Knitting...

Remember this

well now it's this.....

and after all my worrying it looks fine

my daughter even borrowed it the other evening as she was cold
so it can't be too awful!

I am embarrassed to tell you this

but

I am so bad at knitting that

I had to google how to change the yarn when the ball ran out..

oh dizzy ditzy dopey me...

anyway it's done and I enjoyed doing it
and might even do some more!

I still have one hydrangea plant in the back garden

still flowering, still lovely

it must be in a sheltered spot that misses the frost

because the ones in the front garden look like this!!!

I brought some into the kitchen to dry

 and they are looking pretty nestled beside my onion jar.
My Nana bought me the jar years ago
it was the last present she ever bought me as a couple of weeks later she died
so even though it is cracked and chipped. old and worn (a bit like myself)
I treasure it.

the roses are almost gone but I do have one or two around and about...

Well as the weather is wet and miserable even the poor horses are wearing extra layers!

I spotted this handsome fellow in the back field all tucked up for the day ahead!

On the bookshelf...

while it is horrible outside I am staying warm, snuggling up and reading

In pre-war Prague, the dreams of two young lovers are shattered when they are separated by the Nazi invasion. Then, decades later, thousands of miles away in New York, there's an inescapable glance of recognition between two strangers. Providence is giving Lenka and Josef one more chance. From the glamorous ease of life in Prague before the Occupation, to the horrors of Nazi Europe

Two lovely blogging friends,
