Ooh the sun has come back!
Amazing how a bit of sunshine lifts the mood. Feel a bit better, not as down as I was. The return of summer time has definitely helped. Bit of an icky day yesterday, but have let that go...
Also starting to delve into the family tree. Have been watching that programme, HeirHunters, what a fab job! And then a friend asked me for a bit of help with her family tree, not sure why she asked me cos I've never done a family tree. So appetite has been whetted, and I've begun digging. Found my grandfather was a grocer, he was also a very good cake decorator, and my grandmother was a laundry maid. So no rich relatives so far.
Got the golden wedding box finished, would have taken photos, but it contained photos, so thought it best not to take my own and post them. Posted it yesterday, it was well packed, so it had better arrive intact. Was a bit daft yesterday, did the usual supermarket shop, then went for another walk in the afternoon. Mistake, leg was really sore, had to sit down on a bench, mind you I quite enjoy watching the world go by. The young girls, all of 10, who passed me trying to look oh so grown up saddened me, at that age I was still very much a tomboy and enjoying myself, I wasn't even thinking about make up. But there they were, all toting handbags, with makeup, trying to be grown up... why can't we allow children to be just children? Then there was the teenage clown who almost crashed into me, he was busy trying to show off to a girl, not that she was interested, and then finally the drunk that staggered out of the pub, he flopped down beside me. My cue to leave... how can anyone get drunk mid afternoon?
Being 'disabled' is also illuminating, the unusual suspects are those who get out of your way, hold open doors or offer to help. The others... well last week an OAP just about shoulder charged me out of the way so eager was she to get ahead of me in the post office queue! As it was there was no queue. Then there was the ignoramus on a bike... he was lucky I didn't knock him off with my crutch! And a big thank you to the young lady who saw me but didn't bother to hold open the door for me.
More crafting tomorrow, got a RAK to knock off and a swap card.... cupcake! Memo to self, remember to get robo to cut out that cupcake template!
Thanks for meandering by... muchly appreciated.
