First
of all, I had passed on some photos of my flat, as so many
have asked to see pictures of the finished product. Well,
here they are, and I hope that Chuck has had success with
receiving them. I must say, I sent the photos, and then
I realized I could possibly send them a quicker way, and
so I did. Thus, he's probably wound up with two sets. You
all know I'm dangerous with electrical things! Enjoy!!!
Our weather has been rather unsettled and cooler than previous
weeks. It seems as though winter just wants to keep teasing
us and holding on for as long as it can. We had some cold
evenings, and days, this week, then it warmed up, then cold
again!
All week long I'd been searching for a Bundt
pan. There is a cake I want to make, and I had so much
difficulty finding it. I eventually gave up and just ordered
one online. Well, on Saturday I was in town and went into
Barnitts,
and there was one. I'd called to ask if they had one, but
was told no. I had described it, as I thought it might have
a different name. Anyway, I was speaking with the salesperson,
and I asked her what she would call it. She didn't have
a clue! Oh well, the one I'd ordered online was much cheaper,
and at least I have it. Now, I can make the cake.
On Friday after work I'd gone to get my nails done by Louise
who runs Lawton
Henry Nails & Beauty. We hadn't seen each
other for some time, and it was so good to catch up with
her. I left there and headed to do some grocery shopping,
and then it was back home. I'd been feeling a bit "head
stuffy" all day; so I took some of my sinus medicine
and had an early bed. Next morning, I was as good as new.
Saturday I headed to town, going to Barnitts,
as I said, to a few other shops, and of course, into Newgate
Market to see Teri Rhodes and her mum at their stall.
We had a good visit, and Teri was relating the latest problems
with her home remodeling. British workmen! The stories we
could both tell, as could so many others, but there's neither
time nor space! Suffice it to say, they are behind schedule,
haven't turned up when they said they would, either call
at the last minute or don't call at all, etc. I could certainly
sympathize with her.
I headed
home after our visit, and then I wanted to get things together
for the evening. I was joining Peter Gibson and Gareth for
dinner at the home of Kate Addy and John Coulson. What a
good evening we had! However, I'd printed off Oscar
ballots, as we thought they would be on that evening. The
red carpet ceremony was to be at 11:30pm, and then the show
would start at 12:30am. Wouldn't you know it, we got all
settled in to watch, and no show! It's on TONIGHT!!! What
to do? We just visited and drank some more, and then we
all headed to bed.
This morning Kate had prepared a delicious breakfast, and
then we three were headed home. I came home and did a wash,
and then did some ironing, etc., and have rested. I am headed
back to their home, as Kate and I are going to watch them,
and well, we will just be tired tomorrow for work!
So happy Oscar eve to you all!
Love,
