{a little bit of this and a little bit of that}

My goodness we certainly have some weather changes here in Ireland

you could never say it was boring

blue skies and sunshine one day and  pouring with rain the next!

 Monday's sky

H A P P Y   D A Y S

but later during the week, rain, rain and lots more rain

and what day did the  school pick to go

on their trip to County Wicklow?

Beautiful scenery but viewed through a haze of raindrops!

and later it got worse and we couldn't see the scenery at all!!

The field behind our house is so  PRETTY   at the moment

it is full of beautiful golden yellow buttercups which glisten

in both the sunshine and the rain!

This guy lives there

he isn't the friendliest or the prettiest

but he  is very nosey!

and finally, I have been challenged by the lovely Heidi 

 to tell you five random facts about myself

so here goes -

 *   when I met my husband it was love at first sight

something just clicked inside my heart

and hasn't stopped since

he made me laugh and still does....

*   I am  what style experts describe  as an "apple shape"

wide shoulders, slim hips and store my weight on my tummy

yep I'm a  jelly belly!

*   my favourite drink is  red wine

 and I love the glug glug sound it makes when poured into a glass

I like drinking it too
 oops maybe that is why I'm a jelly belly!!!!

*    I hate that my eyesight is going

once I hit 40 my eyesight started to go downhill

and I needed glasses for reading. 

 It makes me sad that I can't read without them....

plus I am always losing them
- couldn't find them on Friday
but low and behold I opened the dishwasher
and there they were having been through the wash
they were SPARKLING!!!

*  I adore shopping,
I love mooching around shops and picking up pretty things.
I even like food shopping and am a bit like Mister above
 as I look into other people's trolley's to see what they are buying!
blush, blush......

*   I love being a mum

it is what I do best

I met someone yesterday who told me

you are such a "mum"

but sure that's my job

and isn't it a privilege to have that job!

Oops that's 6 things!

another thing is that  I do get carried away at times!!!



I have to challenge 5 others now
but I am going to take the easy way out
and hope that perhaps some of you might take up the challenge
 and divulge some bitsy bits about yourself.
As I said, I'm a bit nosey and so would love to hear about you!

anyone willing?

***

oops and oops again before I go I almost forgot to tell you

that Raindrops and Daisies is now on Facebook

click the badge on the right of the blog to view or here

I would love if you would  visit me as I'm a bit lonely,

 maybe say hi and you could even "like" the page,

so what do you think......

Wishing you all a wonderful week full of happy times
