Monty Q

This week has flown nothing special but gone quick.

My lovely cousin has returned from his boating, yatching holiday. Visiting so many special places and seeing our family in England. I am catching up with him and his girlfriend "LL" soon. We normally do a curry dinner or something so maybe this will be in order. I have a couple of recipes that I need to try out so they are great at testing them for us and giving good feedback.

I need to do a couple more things around the house so that they notice a differnce... a few things sold on ebay would be a great idea. I ABSOLUTELY have to get motivated and do that asap. Maybe this weekend would be a good time. MAYBE!!!!!

The weather is amazing at the moment. SO COLD! Hard to get motivated to renovate, clean up and organise when I have to go outside to do some of these things. I will we had a hard rubbish collection soon as I have a few things to get rid of, not really enough for a skip but enough to bother me. It just seems to add to the chaos. ROLL ON HARD RUBBISH COLLECTION.

I have been trying to do another scarf for myself in grey however I have unraveled it 5 times now not happy with the pattern, I have changed my mind, now I am changing the needle size to see if this helps. It had better come toghether soon, I think I have it in my mind what I want however it just not turning out that way. Maybe I will stop and think about it for a bit.

Long weekend this weekend... I hope everyone does something nice. Speak to you soon.

PS I forgot we aquired a new member of the family this week too. Myredheaded hurricane as been calling himself MontyQ instead of Ron and his sister does not like the name. So yesterday we purchased a bear from Build-A-Bear for him, something that I promised him a while ago as his sister got one from England. He has been very patient and waited 2 years for his and in spite of a tight budget this had to be included so now we have a snowflake bear names MONTYQ! He has adjusted quite well and slept through the night last night inspite of being cuddled far too tight by the redheaded hurricane. SO CUTE!

One of those WEEKS!!!!!

I know I am wondering why on earth I am blogging today, it has been one of those weeks and now is probably not the time to write in this frame of mind and with EVERYTHING going on and on there is a lot going on.

So instead I will focus on the good things and write about that and try to forget that anything is happening. So off we go, I went with a FABULOUS friend to see King Lear this week. I have never seen a play of shakespear and this one had me totally amazed and captivated. I think there was some tears at the end, being a tragedy I think this is alright. The mistakes that parents or a father in this case and King can make.

I also had a shopping expediction with another FABULOUS friend. It was good to meet up with her as always, I look forward to seeing her and I was hopeless that day trying to make decisons, it was not a decision making day I think however I did find it easy to decide to have a white chocolate hot chocolate. YUM. I am being told that this is not real chocolate but as I am not a big chocolate person this did me just fine, it was a great sugar hit.

Off to the farmers market today, I especially enjoy doing this. I am thinking that it will be a hard day.... most have been lately. I will just take it slowly and keep my head up high.
