Hello friends
It's Friday and it's another chat day.
It's Friday and it's another chat day.
I knew you would all understand last week's excitement at having
new interior doors fitted, it funny what makes our lives pleasant.
(Hazel - I also appreciate the thrill of visiting the tip and
getting rid of lots of stuff!)

Talking of things that make life pleasant, each day
I afford myself little treats, not always the edible kind,
sitting down with a coffee and viewing my favourite
YouTube videos or accounts on Facebook/Instagram.
I've decided to share the love this Friday with my go-to list:

I've decided to share the love this Friday with my go-to list:
Dean and his rescue cat Nala on a bike exploring the world.
He has a lot of followers and I was over the moon to get a mention this week,
well it was Bella really but close enough!)

The adventures of Moss, a German Wirehaired Pointer living on Dartmoor.
New home with a Goldendoodle puppy.
It all started with Albert, a sweet little quail that hatched from an egg
bought in the supermarket.
Bit of an animal theme I know!
So if any of these take your fancy, let me know what you think.
Calligraphy update - I've been practising.
Unfortunately I never did shorthand (Lesley asked last week),
that would have been handy for learning the thick/thin strokes.
Instead I learned to type on a manual typewriter at school with a teacher
who hit our fingers with a ruler if we dared look down -
sounds Victorian now!
This is one of my worksheets, I keep thinking that
changing pen colour may help!

Family news:
My Mum is out of hospital, still quite poorly and needs to gain weight
but lovely that she is back home.
It was my Dad's birthday last weekend which was a day of food.
Starting with cooked breakfast and then Chinese takeaway and birthday cake.
Here's the man himself looking very happy.
And finally a sneak peek of a Scrapbook Adhesives project that
will be on their blog on Monday. I'll be sharing it on social media
and hope you can stop by.
they are uploaded daily.
This weekend I am going to the theatre to see Hamilton.
Special friends are treating me as an early birthday present -
(very early as my birthday is in November!)
I've heard some wonderful reviews, let me know if you have seen it.
Take care friends, have a wonderful weekend and I hope you can join
me for a chat again next week.

The quail looks so cute. So glad to hear your mum is out of the hospital. Hope she gets better soon. Nice to hear you all had a nice birthday with your dad. The writing is coming along practice makes perfect. I have fetched my crochet hooks and yarn out of storage and been having a practice. You inspired me to have a go again with all your beautiful crochet. Have a great week xx Hazel
Great news about your Mum being home, hope her health improves.
Glad your Dad had a great birthday-nice photo.

Hello Christine
Glad Mum is improving and was home for Dads birthday!
Keep going with the writing practice makes perfect!

Hi Christine, great news about your Mum (hopefully her recovery will continue). Your Dad does look to have had a very happy day. A few of us went to day release classes at a local college whilst at School to learn to type but the only rulers involved were to ensure we were reading the correct line of text to touch type. Keep going with the calligraphy; it will click. WakeyL
