I am glad that we don't have one of those cellar arrangements that you grew up with, that really would have scared me!! The training thing sound very complicated indeed, why do they have to make these things so difficult. Perhaps the web designer needs to go on a course but they couldn't find the button to sign up!! I hope that you get on the course and that it all goes really well for you. xxAmy at love made my homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17111180584250029433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-78557830404027511932014-09-22T21:30:55.438+01:002014-09-22T21:30:55.438+01:00Goodness, you leave me breathless with a mixture o...Goodness, you leave me breathless with a mixture of admiration and laughter Christina. You're a whirlwind of action and entertainment. A shame about the dog poo, it drives me mad it really does. I do hope your head is okay now. That is exactly the sort of thing I'd do. Mine would just ignore me now I'm sure. That poor boy with the bread knife and the rolling pin, he must have been very happy to see you. I feel your pain with the online forms, I can't be doing with them either. I hope you have a good week.

I will let you into a little secret, before kids and housework and all the other Sh** I do, I kept a fungi journal of all the ones I have ever seen, all photographed and labelled with some hearty quiet time in my reference books. Not any more, my life is more sitting on swings and banging my head - normally against a metaphorical brick wall! I love your pic you look so happy with life.

I would love to leave near that one. The stitching on your dress is beautiful. I have tried so few of the fancy stitches on my sewing machine so far and I really want to do it soon. I laughed about Sam but I understand as I used to sleep with a huge metal flashlight when I was a nubile young thing and my husband went away for work. Now I'm just happy to have the whole bed to myself for a little while. :)Jennifer Hayshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04685253944514672324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515007843975800463.post-69650654390078571452014-09-22T15:01:45.527+01:002014-09-22T15:01:45.527+01:00Sounds like a great weekend to me.
