Friday fabulousness

After a couple of non-fabulous-friday weeks where the time has escaped me and I have failed to flag-up the fabulous, I am today, finding that I have too much fabulousness to choose from.

Do I go with the beautiful and genius 'sewing free' blankets which were handmade for The Baby and The Eight Year Old by my two creative and thoughtful Sisters-in-law who gave them to us last weekend?

Or do I choose my goregeous nephew who has been visiting from America?  At eighteen months he is just adorable and has been making us giggle with the way he copies words - there's been a lot of "oooops" after the many tumbles and bumps that accompany toddler-dom.  There have also been lots of cheeky smiles and it's been lovely getting to know him better.

Or do I choose the family time we enjoyed last weekend.  These times with the (US) Sister-in-law (usually along with her husband who couldn't make the trip this time around and was greatly missed) and our nephew are as precious as they are limited.

Or do I choose these...



Sometimes it all comes down to the simple things in life.  We may still be without a working bath or shower but we now have a choice of two loos to use as and when the need takes us!  For anyone who hasn't felt the pain of our ongoing bathroom renevations read this.

If I have to choose just one thing then of course the cheeky adorable nephew would win hands down, closely followed by the family time. 

As it is, I don't have to choose just one thing and so I present to you all of the above in all of their fabulousness!

Happy weekend people!

      After two weeks of intermittent loo availability I shall never again take the loo for granted! :)

Misfit

Do you ever get the feeling that you don't really know where you fit in?  I've had that feeling on and off throughout my life.  Sometimes it's been an uncomfortable feeling - during the teenage years at school for example when it didn't always feel easy to slot into a particular group.  Or at various workplaces when my face just didn't seem to fit-in with the 'in-crowd'.  At other times I relish the feeling of being a bit different from what may be expected even if this does mean that people don't always seem to know what to do with me, where to place me, not quite being able to work out who I am.  I also love that I am now in a happy and confident place surrounded by a whole bunch of random lovelies, all misfits in their own special way. I therefore found it to be quite unexpected to be feeling as if I needed to fit-in in a new situation quite recently.   This new misfit feeling began when I started blogging.  I didn't set out ...

'...the notes from the piano...'

... is the prompt for this weeks 100 Word Challenge For Grown Ups - week#73 .   Here is my entry:- He was expecting her.   A gentle push at the already slightly ajar door allowed her to enter in to the hallway silently.    The bitter-sweet aroma of freshly brewed coffee enveloped   her   senses, inviting her further in to the sprawling apartment.    It was as if he knew her already.   Knew how she would respond.   She stepped carefully out of her shoes and slipped off her heavy winter coat before tip-toe-ing along the parquet floor of the corridor that lay before her.   As yet, unwilling to announce her arrival. All the while, the notes from the piano rose in to the air and danced around her head.   ________________________________________________________   It's been a while since i took part in the 100WC.  I've missed it.  I like the challenge of having to stick to a strict word count wi...

Snippets of everyday conversation #17

Bank Holiday Monday... The Husband: "Ok, so now we've sold the (huge, reclaimed oak, gorgeous, heavy, cumbersome) dining table we could sort out the (chipped, scuffed, scruffy) painted floor before we put another table in there.  We could make a start tomorrow.  I'd like to hire a sander though so we can get a better finish." The Father-in-law (visiting for the day):  "You could sand it right back to the wood and varnish it". The Husband:  "Yeah, it would look nice.  We'd need to do the hall and living room though 'cos it all runs into one with having no carpets in any of the downstairs rooms". Me:  " There's no way I can face all that dust, it would be a nightmare.  The only way that is going to happen is if you send me and the boys on a weeks holiday". The Husband: "Hmmm."  Later that very same day... Me:  I've had a rethink.  In fact, I've had a complete change of heart and think we should sa...
