Spread your wings and fly away

I did do some exercise.

I went for a nice brisk walk to the local shops to post a letter, and then to pop into Tesco for some inspiration for tonights tea. Whilst in there I saw these cute little pots of hummous, yummy. So now I am sitting here with some chopped up carrots, celery, tomatoes, radish and cucumber and dipping it all into the hummous before I eat - wonderful!

We (youngest and I) walked the long way home from the shops so I am feeling a little virtuous at the moment lol!

Dusting

It's not what you gather, but what you scatter
that tells what kind of life you have lived.

There was I in the land of nod, lovely dream when I was awoken sharply by a cursing husband because he was late for work and there is a pile up on the motorway again!

Like the dutiful wife I am, I mumbled as I came down the stairs, half asleep to head for the kitchen to make him a cup of much needed tea.

Half term and I should be tucked up in bed!

Am I appreciated for it? NO he came downstairs still going on aboujt incompetent ppl who drive cars like idiots causing accidents, great start to anyones morning!

Feel wide awake now and marvelling in the few quiet moments. That time when you get to yourself before the kids descend! They are both sound asleep - bless.

Didn't get to bed until 11.30 last night. Yes I was stitching all that time only taking a break for something to eat. Dragons head is done only have to outline it now and then I can start on the wing - slowly it is beginning to come together - thank you for your kind comments.

I love Cross stitching. I find it very therapeutic and relaxing. While stitching I can hold a conversation, or watch telly, or just contemplate on my day,life or what needs to be done. Only problem is I tend to lose track of time, hence what is a late night for me! the other thing about Cross stitching that I love is that I don't eat. This is a major thing for me, not having a snack or searching the cupboards for snacks as I am engrossed in my task.

So plans for today include taking son round to a friends house - his friend is 15 today so Simon promised to spend the day with him which means he will be wound up by this evening. His friend is a worrier. He has a tendency to want to be the first one to do everything as well. His parents spoil him, whenever there is something new that comes out on the market they will buy it for him, and he will boast to Simon about it. Simon might get it eventually but we tend to buy things for Christmas and Birthdays, any other time they have to save their money and buy it themselves if they want it. He drives Simon up the wall and it is clearly obvious that he needs Simon more than Simon needs him, but they have been friends since they were 4 years old so Simon feels obliged to keep it up.

I also plan to do some exercise today, though in what form I Haven't made up my mind yet - may go for a walk depends on the weather still have the youngest child to drag with me. Then I will do more stitching in between coming on here lol!
