Day 97 - PASTEL

I struggled with this word whilst I was out all day thinking about pastel colours but on coming home I realised I had a brand new pack of pastels that I have never used!! With the help of Picasa I have changed the colour and surrounds to more'pastel' colours!!
Today being Good Friday and a very important day for a Christian we went to church for an all age worship which was good and then to one of our families for lunch. It has been a cold but glorious sunny day and hope those on holiday this weekend enjoyed today in Hastings

Day 96- WHAT'S THIS THEN?

Our church has done Easter Meditations during Holy week.
This is installation 11) The Road to Emmaus - Luke 24: 13 - 35

Day 95 - NOISE

If I had listened to the noise of the hot tank filling during the night I might have looked for our leak earlier? But our water and heating was set for twice a day over the winter months!

Day 94 TEENY WEENY!

What wonderful weather we are still having in the SE England, once again we had blue skies and sunshine. I didn't get the prompt til late afternoon (thanks Helen xx) so was thinking along the insect line when we stopped at one of DH's fishing haunts and came across these fellows, just love the teeny one, so this is my photo for today!
It was DGC day out with DH and myself. We set off at 8am for DGP duties and finally arrived at the beach at Bexhill for icecream and coffee late am and then we went on for a picnic lunch at the animal rescue place at Raystede nr Lewes. Here is a collage of our day out

Today

As I am blogging the TV news tells me it is 30yrs since the Falkland wars! I was returning on a coach with school children from our local schools having been on a ski trip when we stopped at a rest station in Germany and saw that we were at war with Argentine in the Falkland Isles, we had no idea where these islands where then!!
Today we went to Bewel Reservoir to see how low the water in our area is. They are pumping water from the R Medwad daily throughout April at 2" a day but this shows you how low it is

Our water ban I believe starts this Thursday in the SE England

Day 93 - CHILDHOOD

Well I thought about this early this morning and I could have done DGC and DC too but thought about my childhood instead, Alas all my things from my childhood I have not kept, DS2 has my book that all school children received when Queen Elizabeth came to the throne in 1953. I also had a mug which he also has LOL!
So I looked for photos that I have and made a collage of them.

Day 92 - COSTUME

It has been a cold but lovely sunny April Fool's day. I have had a busy day and I have only just managed to get on the computer and upload a photo for today's word!
Here is DGS Zac in a pirate's costume!!

Day 91 - GAMES

DH is not a games person but I came from a family that played card games like pontoon for buttons, half pennies and pennies at Christmas!!
Over the years we have gathered commercial games to play with the family at Christmas and with friends very occasionally. This game called Cranium we bought having had great fun with friends when we stayed with them in Canada but hasn't been played very often here :(
Last Christmas I bought Cluedo crackers in a sale (yes before Christmas!!) and New Year's day we had a family with older DGC for a meal and we played Cluedo and we had great fun and have kept the cracker box and the pieces to play again sometime???

Day 90 - HUMOUR

I looked this word up in the dictionary this morning and it means 1) state of mind 2) mood 3) inclination 4) whim and it goes on.
Well I decided I am a happy person but not humourous. I don't laugh at slap stick or comedy much but at Christmas we saw 2 of our older DGC and one had an apps on his phone for altering peoples face, this is what happened to DH and myself, now that I did find funny!
Today I continued with my spring cleaning of my craft room sorting all the little containers where I put odds and ends after scrapping. Why don't I put them away LOL! In between I am clearing winter clothes to make room for summer clothes and have a huge pile of jumpers for the charity shop!

Day 89 - DAYBREAK

Sunrises and sunsets are my favourite photos. Getting a daybreak photo is hard as I don't ususally get up until 8ish. This morning I managed this photo at 7.30, daybreak for me!
The times I do get daybreak photos are on holiday. Here is the Nile at 4.30am!!

and sunrise from a cruise to Nova Scotia 2 years ago at 6am

Same scene as this morning but taken in 2011 during our snow week

Catch up time again!

Well I have finally caught up. Have been snapping daily whilst away but no wifi.

Then I came home to chaos in my craft room as it had been decorated by Simon (the decorator) whilst I was away! He actually finished the downstairs and hall on the Wednesday but stayed on 2 days to finish the week doing other decorating round the house which is wonderful. no carpet until April 14th. The 3 piece hasn't arrived from warehouse to the shop yet :( and no curtains made yet either!!

Day 88 - 9AM

Here comes the 9am bus which DH catches 4 days a week to his 'little' morning job! Today I am going to town with him.

Day 87 - DINNERTIME

Just have to have salad whenever I can!

Day 86 - MORNING ROUTINE

No more to say except I never leave the bedroom before doing my hair!!

Day 85 - 9PM

Well of course Sun night at 9pm just had to be Homeland on TV for me! All my retreat pals were busy scrapping but me! Mind you we had just watched the final of Dancing on Ice, so pleased Matthew won!
