Valentines day sweetness

..harking back to V day for a moment.
Tender love thought seem to come in all shapes and sizes.... THIS is being referred to all over the Internet and adored by everyone (isn't it lovely?) but if your other half isn't quite so well versed thats okay too. Its the thought remember; Mr Britguy got me some new Reeses Pieces... not I admit landmark stuff, but a sweet thought {no pun intended} from an anti-commercial holiday kinda guy :) We're married, grown up ---and we love each other all the time not just Feb 14th.  Aw!

make sure you note

...the newest links in my lists down the sides of here...added some new heavenly places to while away your Internet time and to inspire you artistic types too :) Loving the Skulls site with daily inspirations....
and snapshots of my brain blog, written by a good photographer, should inspire you too.
Oh and Mighty Girl has had her baby {henry aka hank} and hes beautiful. I love mighty girl, her blog, her articles, her book....  :)

Also big fan of city daily photos blogs...a collection of blogs featuring (the name might just have given you a clue here...) a daily photo in cities all round the world. Have always read the Boston daily photo, but recently discovered the San Francisco one. Goodness - the photos are to die for and I can see why its just won a stack of Internet awards. Go see!!!  Anyone with a passion for their city, and photography, can start a city daily blog.... even if your city is already done by someone, it doesn't matter - no two photographers will take the same shot after all. I am tempted to do Southampton I admit, nobody else is at all and that seems a shame with such a busy City and port.... we shall see.  Let me know if you start one; I know so many of you live in such awesome places you should indeed be sharing them.

Also -American friends yawn here, you knew already I bet- found the site  Wondertime and I'm enjoying reading it a lot. If you have children/babies/toddlers/etc you may like it too.. nice to come across a site packed with ideas and info that doesn't treat you as if you're stupid and brain dead because you're a parent of little ones.

Ooooooooooo, before I forget, I found my charger - huge thank-you to KS, who found it all the way from over there, in her own special way...lol

11 things....

about me!

from the other end of the garden......

Few new lens shots to share...

even tho Miss D wasnt in the mood even slightly....

bless her...

have a few of Mollie too that I am saving for a new layout, but heres a sweet favourite of mine....

TFL!

Must just say....

thankyou to Lynn, who prob thought I was being rude (I didnt mean it to sound quite like it came out in your comments -honest! I nearly died when I re-read it this morning....)  Shes a very nice lady :)

Sarah- of course, I forgot your little man chose Mika too - he has great taste!:)

And Happy Birthday to Heather, I hope you have the best day and are spoilt rotten!

New layouts to post later, plus my pictures with that lens but for now may all your Sundays be fabulous, mines already shaping up to be so. Have a good one!

new new new

Seems all to be new round here.... I have a new hire car for a week whilst the slowest repairs garage in the world, (with the crappiest customer service) still fix mine. (grrrrrrrrrrrr...) Its a cute new corsa, and I'm enjoying the nippy size I have to say. only really driven BIG people mover type cars so this should be fun.

  its like this pic... nice pale gold; apparently called Lancelot. (the colour, tho of course its quite suitable for the car too...lol)

also new is Miss Daisy's shoes, her first proper 'real shoes' from {good ol'} Clarks. vereeeee sweet to see her strut her stuff in them I must say.

Also 'new' lens on my camera for the weekend. Its not new I've had it since September (thanks Dad ;) ) but hardly had time to play with it at all, so it feels new.  we shall see what I get to do with it this weekend!

Had mad sudden urge to clear out /move round the entire kitchen cupboards; jugs, bowls, pots etc. Now these urges don't come along often in my case so I went with it and am happy with my newly sorted shelves (we have mostly open shelving - it rocks IMO) and a big bag of  junk.-- very satisfying getting big bag of junk after a clear out.
Now what to do with the sorted out junk....do I donate it to Charity now or hang on to it til somewhere like the Preschool has a jumble sale? can I be bothered to ebay it? (er....no...) or find somewhere to stash it til its warm enough to sell at carboot sales? (we seriously have LOTS of bags of stuff from previous sort outs waiting for a decision. If I could hang on to it alittle longer, I may make a fortune, maybe..) or it may drive me crazy before then........

Now then, I need your help PLEASE ; if you were me, where in this house would you have put your spare camera battery charger that youve not used for a year??....................

singing is good for your soul

*warning, despite trying not too you will be singing and humming this for bloody days. Good job its rather nice too :)

Eat me...

A whole lot of food going on at our house  in this post :)

Firstly, dinner today; heart shaped pizzas. Which made Mollies day!

They had been talking about Valentines Day at her preschool, about how if you love somebody, or if somebody loves you you get paper hearts, or maybe chocolate hearts. (At least, this is what Mollie picked up from whatever they actually DID say...)
This would explain why she spent the entire day saying 'I love you Daddy, I really really do you know'  (success - chocolate heart was indeed purchased for her...lol got to hand it to her, she knows how to handle her Daddy, that one)

Its a shame we don't make a big deal over V Day like in USA.... I honestly do prefer tokens of  love, flowers and heartfelt sentiments  (and I get all three) when they are meant and not when they are dictated by the calendar. Right up until I see all the flowers and gifts delivered to anyone else.....then I get all 'I want some'-ish and just a little grouchy. lol. thats us girls all over tho isn't it?

More food, much baking here yesterday. Its mine and Mollies favourite thing to do together lately. fabulous- because we have such fun and feel like we're learning together. Not so fabulous- because everyone then eats their body weight in goodies....
We made lemon and vanilla sugar muffins and big choc chip cookies. mmm. and no, there aren't any left today......
