Friday Chat Day

Hello friends

Hope my nattering finds you all well.

This week has flown by, no sooner was I dreading Monday at my desk

Friday arrived.  In fact the whole month has sped by which truthfully I don't mind -

January certainly isn't my favourite month.

Highlights of my week: Bella got a haircut.

This is what happens when you have techy sons - you send a nice photo of her

in her car seat and they slap an image of burning buildings in the background!

It did make me giggle though.

Not such a highlight was the news.  

So very sad to hear about the loss of Meatloaf.  

His music has played a big role in my lifetime.

My Dad is a fan and I grew up to Bat Out of Hell belting out of the 

speakers on a Sunday morning (or the 1812 Overture - very diverse!) 

I subsequently introduced his music to the boys and Elliott has

spent this week revisiting his songs and loving it.

Back to positive:

Crochet

I've had a flurry of blanket sales - perhaps it is the nip in the air?

I have in fact only got one cushion cover and a Sweetheart Blanket left for sale.

More details, photos and their bargain prices are in a blog post here.

I think this gives me the perfect excuse to carry on crocheting and ignore

housework!  I am still working on my Cath Kidston colour inspired blanket -

still being rebellious with not sewing in my ends.

And I'm really close to finishing this bunny rug/latch hook cushion.

I really love it but I NEVER want to make another one - 

goodness it is time consuming.

Telly

I have been guilty of watching telly rubbish/mush for the brain this week.

Do you get those periods when you just don't want to concentrate too hard?

Disney Channel - Agent Carter

Life changes for Peggy Carter after her boyfriend Steve Rogers (Captain America) 

is feared dead.  Now she leads a dual life by doing administration 

for the SSR (Strategic Scientific Reserve) whilst going undercover.

So having seen all the Marvel films this is one of the telly spin offs.

Quite a lot of British actors feature - Hayley Atwell, James D'Arcy, Dominic Cooper.

It really is quite farcical, Peggy has a zillions lives - being impaled on metal rods

one day, up and about dancing the next!  

Well, who doesn't like a bit of escapism now and again?

I'm mid way through Season 2 so yes, I've binged.

Before I go, just in case it was giving you sleepless nights but that is possibly just me(!)

I made a decision on the worktop - going for the lighter colour.
Bella is still very bored by it all.

And that has been my week.  

This weekend I am catching up with family and we also have Mitchell's 

birthday on Monday so some celebrating.

Take care friends, wishing you a lovely weekend.
