Day 73 - SHAPES IN NATURE

When I saw this prompt I immediately thought about tree shapes! I had no opportunity to take any photos of this prompt today but coming home in the car I began to reflect on the bigger picture of shapes of mountains I have been lucky enough to see around the world, then I thought about the different flower shapes especially the daffodil around at the moment and animal shapes expecially underworld creatures. This makes me more aware of my belief in God did really create our wonderful world!
I have cheated with an Autumn photo taken at Sheffield Park on an Autumn day 2 years ago

Day 72 - GARDEN

What a glorious start to the day, after breakfast and shopping with DD I came home with the intention of going out into the garden and tidying up and cutting back for the first time since Oct!
Well first I just had to PVC clean out front door and surround as the sun showed me how neglected it was! After lunch DH mowed and I pruned and then we set to to rake all the moss we could out of the lawn, they are in a bad way :( By then the lovely warm sunshine disappeared behind the damp rolling mist from the sea so we came in and I then cooked and ironed, a very busy day for me!!
We were asked today, "what is happening in our garden", well I did managed a photo of a part of the back garden that needs some TLC later this week but the crocuses and daffs are in bloom and tulips will soon flower follwed by irises

Day 71 - HIDING

Gosh I thought this word for a photo today was really difficult!
All day I thought on and off about what photo to take and then finally forgot and then we went out tonight for a birthday meal with friends to celebrate DH's birthday which was yesterday.
As I took lots of photos of DH opening presents and cards, I realised that I had today's photo...
DH deep in hidden thoughts about the 'flies' for trout fishing that friends bought him!!

He was hiding his thought...Wonder really what he was thinking, .....we will never know!! but I will have a good guess LOL!!

Another plant!

Having just uploaded my plant for today, my late neighbour's (dear Kay who died very suddenly 3 weeks ago) son Andrew has just popped in with this plant for me as a thank you for our support and some chocolates for DH who is 77 today! He is trying to lose weight and has received boxes and boxes of chocolates today, guess that is what you buy an older man LOL!! I didn't we have tickets to listen to a 12piece swing band with supper on March 30th from me :)

Day 70 - PLANT

It is has been a beautifu; warm spring like day today but I haven't been outside! I have been busy prepping for retreat I am going on in 2 weeks time. I am getting excited!!
So my plant today is not from the garden but my kitchen which is still OK! These 2 poinsetta's seem oblivious to all the house problems and continue to flourish since mid Dec. One from M&S and the smaller one from a prison where my DstepS is an officer and the inmates grew these last year!

Day 69 - FUZZY OR FUZZY!

A collage today about FUZZ LOL!! I went to Sainsbury this morning to get 2 cakes for DH's birthday tomorrow, gone are the days when I proudly make cakes since we don't eat cake so happy to buy off the shelf for family :) Decided to take photos of products to get rid of frizz on hair, I don't have that problem!
Then I realised I was off to have a pedicure, waxing and removal of facial hair(electrolysis) too so lots of fuzz to be removed :) So todays photo is a collage :)

Day 68 - BATHTIME

We have a bath which neither of us use so bathtime for us is a shower!
This is what DH uses for his shower. I like to use a tablet of soap!

Day 67 - FLOOR

DH and I have been out all day so I text a friend re the photo prompt as we drove this morning to Eastbourne to a larger B&Q, for our lounge emulsion paint and wallpaper for our hall. DH thought I meant 'flaw' when I told him the word LOL !!
Well we then went to the cinema pm to see The Exotic Marigold Hotel, a really funny,enjoyable feel good film and hen tonight I had housegroup meeting and totally forgot about the photo until 10mins ago!!
Instead of another photo of marley tiles, I thought I would take a photo of our landing floor which has now been without carpet since the end of January. The hall in now a work in progress so slowly we are getting there!!

Day 66 - WHAT'S COOKING?

Tonight's dinner was all in one veg and beef casserole made yesterday, which we have just eaten. It was yummy. Not sure if it looks very yummy cold? Photo taken before reheating it!!

Scrapping update

This week the WC week1 in March has been set by my social group The Crumblies so I did this LO for the group several week's ago
We had a sketch to follow, had to show distressing and use 5 different papers.
I am looking forward to see other peeps on UKS's interpretation of our sketch.
Last week WC for week 4 Feb we also had to follow a sketch, make our own flowers, add butterflies and show some sewing, I'm afraid I forgot about the sewing until I had uploaded! So only earned 25 points. This was a LO for my Egyptian album 2011

Now I am off to continue with my jigsaw pieces, photos to come after our Crumblies retreat on 23rd March :)

Day 65 - ARRANGED

A good word for my photo for today. Always on Mondays the 'girls' [DDIL, DGD and DStepD] and I have breakfast at Sainsburys. We call it breakfast club and it started when DDIL had maternity leave for DGD in 2010. Sadly this arrangement will stop this week as DDIL starts working on Mondays from next week.
This also could be my photo for today. Xanthe has Auntie Jo's phone and she looks as though she is arranging her day on the phone while eating her toast!

I am off to upload some LO's I did in February, not a lot of scrapping got done that month :(

Day 64 _ CHAIR

I have been at an all day crop today and this is the chair I have been sitting on from 10am - 5pm. Now I am home and have been sitting on another upright chair but off to lay on our bed and have some comfort to watch TV for the rest of the evening!

Day 63 - FLAT

Well I seem obsessed by our leak but really things are going well and I promise soon I won't mention it!!
Today with the word flat I thought about our floor which seems flat but the water pipes and cracks underneath cannot be flat since the wall and skirting at the otherside of the room has also got wet in the last month. The 4 de humidifiers drone on 24/7 and last night we collected 8litres again, the water is not receding yet:(

Day 62 - COMFORT

Well am I comfortable in my home at the moment? No!! I wasn't aware of DH taking this photo a couple of nights ago! Even our 2 cats are uncomfortable and don't know where to settle!
Normally our home is my COMFORT

but really the only part of my home I find comfort at the moment is our bedroom. This is where I hid away from the mess and upheaval!!

I have decided to record unusual and lovely sunsets this year and this was our sky last night

The grass photo was a neighbours garden with a pond! As you can see we have very little grass anywhere in the back garden! Only a small lawn at the front, easy maintenance :)

Day 60 again? - GRASS
