Good evening all.    It was an early start for me to day had to pick Gordon up.  A 10 minute drive took me 35 minutes town was grid locked. We went to lunch club. The entertainment was excellent two singers with a wide range.  I won a prize in the raffle. We had roast beef with all the trimmings followed by apple sponge and custard. I dropped Gordon off  at his flat as he had some work to do.  I went home fed Brodie and intended putting some washing on, however I nodded off.  I was woken up by a phone call. Gordon had sat in his chair and nodded off also. Neither of us did any work. Oh well there's always tomorrow. I'm going to have an early night.

Evening all. Had a busy day today had to go to Southampton, traffic was nightmare, bumper to bumper. Speed traps everywhere. Vowed never to go back. If I'd known the place we were going  was near Romsy I would have gone a different way. Going home we were following the road signs when our destination disappeared off the sign posts. We saw a sign for Winchester, took it and found ourselves on the M3. Fortunately I managed to get off the M3 and then it was cross country. We eventually got back to our area and to celebrate had a delicious cream team.  Gordon came home with me as I'd managed to get a desert bowl stuck in a glass dish and couldn't free it.  He tried everything finally giving up, where upon the glass dish split into two and smashed - glass everywhere. His face was a picture - if only I'd had a camera. It took ages to pick up all the glass.

Hello everyone. Its been dry all day today. I had the hairdresser earlier and was wondering whether I could make it walking or would need a taxi because of rain. But I walked in the end with hubby. He's been in a snappy mood all day today and I wished I'd gone on my own and had a bit of space.  So when I got back I had lunch then have been upstairs loosing myself in crochet and pretending to count whenever he comes near! 

Good morning everyone, vrey dark here. I've been awake since 6 and it was pitch black out then. It was supposed to be a good day today and sunny. George will be coming over one day either at the w/e or early next week to help me put up the wires for my winter flowering evergreen clematis plants. I had one where I used to live before here and it was so cheery in the winter to see the pretty white flowers with red speckles on, and something with lots of leaves on. Although I do have quite a few evergreens, bamboos and the tree fern amongst others.

I'll be making more stock for next Saturdays craft fair. My 'friend' in St Austell has let me down yet again. She left me a private message on Twitter last night to say she won't be attending as her husband only gets one and a half days off at the w'ends and thinks its better if they spend the time together. This was the excuse last time. We were a table down as one was broken earlier in the summer and she was going to bring her own table, so at least there won't be an empty table stood there, which looks awful, just a space. And thankfully she was next to the doorway so it won't be quite so obvious. I could advertise the space but wont bother. It's too late now really as most people are all booked up anyway.

This means I will have to put all the tables up and around the hall, 25 of them as well as put all the signs up outside all by myself. Then set my own stall up. By the time i get to do my stall everyone else has finished setting up and I'm all hot and bothered and rushing. She's really let me down again.

I've not put my decorations up, I think I'll probably just get my little fibre optic xmas tree out and decorate that nearer Christmas. To be honest it's just another day to me really. 

Good morning everyone, it's a bit nippy but not really cold, and the sun is beaming down. 

Yes Starry that 'friend' is no friend really, she's very unreliable and had the cheek last night to send a message asking me which other craft fairs I'd recommend for her to go to. Pffft..... 

Today I'll be finishing off my pocket teddies. I've made 18 so far, and just got a couple more colours to make, so there's a nice selection. Then I'll get cracking on the orders, 3 fur fairies and 2 christmas angels. 

No sign of the neighbour, the Housing Assoc are building a case to evict her but have said it will take months to go through the courts. She's only lived there 2 days since October 2018, she came one day and left the next. My place would be easier to keep warm if someone lived there, but it's like having an empty garage next to me. 

I'm making a mushroom strogonoff today for lunch. I've made a few over the last month. I just replace the steak with mushrooms. It's really tasty and more healthy. 

Enjoy your trip to Wiltshire Starry, it's a pretty county. 

Enjoy your Sunday folks. x
