Sighs.  How totally exasperating and upsetting.

GOOD NEWS!!!

BEAUTY has been found, is well and re-united with her owner.

What welcome and happy news!

Happy Crafter, Susan :)
 

WHERE'S BEAUTY?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-birmingham-15115530



This story of John Hemming, LibDem MP's crazy wife maddened me so much I had to write.  The RSPCA should be involved in finding out from this madwoman what she did with the little kitten and where it is.  Since she's so 'forgetful' of what she did, get the best hypnotist on the planet to help out. Failing that she should be sent to Battersea's Cat and Dog home, accompanied throughout, to muck out the premises on a daily basis for the rest of her natural - or until she owns up to what she did with Beauty!

Another Thought Bubble

With a progressively rotten memory, it’s a good idea not entirely to rely on braincell to remember passwords.  Now all I have to do is remember where I wrote it down.

Thanks to lack of energy, not been too busy with crafting lately and seem to have lost my mojo to do anything. Invested in some Promarkers, so hoping that will give me the kick-start I need.

Hubby’s out fishing, enjoying the run of good weather – all of 3 joined-up days’ worth! Temps have been unusually low, even for this part of the world. Have a spooky feeling that our weather has changed owing to huge earthquakes knocking the planet off its usual axis.  Goodness knows.  I do know my thermals are still on in June! And we had hailstone showers a couple of days ago.  If the temp reaches 15c I think I’ll need to take up residence beside an open fridge door.

Had an interesting time filming Pilot Whales, that wandered into one of our many sea-bays recently.  A couple died and it was thought the entire pod would beach itself.  Very vexing time.  But the rest of the pod swam off and as yet I haven’t heard anything else about them.  The weather was wild the day we filmed, so climbed a small hillock to shelter behind it.  The exertion was such, I slept for 2 days afterwards haha  But it was worth it to see these beautiful creatures.  You can view films taken on the My Photography link – in an album called Poignant Pod.  The last film is very noisy as I couldn’t climb the hill any more, collapsed in a heap and began filming quickly before the gates were closed to the area we were in.

Taking things easy and just filming feathered visitors to our garden, through a window.  They’re a lot of fun at the moment, with fledglings learning to feed for themselves, but still standing fluttering their wings and tweeting loudly for any neighbouring bird to feed them.

We’ve nearly finished (huh hum, hubby has) repainting all the rooms.  They badly needed refreshing and the place looks brand new.  Putting things back where they should be is a bit daunting and so far I’ve been putting it off.  Aurora is loving the extra space and taken to frequent runs round the house on wild chases.  It’s a case of just sitting still, eyes and ears wide open, wondering where she’s going to come to a grinding halt.

Until the next ‘thought’ or creative result, happy crafting :)

A thought bubble

Hmm, just highlighted an entire post and the whole lot vanished and cannot find it anywhere! Now what on earth was I rambling on about?

Well, just a few thought bubbles floating around at this unearthly hour of the morning. Had a lovely surprise visit by my young nephew yesterday. My, but how quickly they grow - or I'm beginning to shrink.

Weather promises to be sunfilled today, so we will likely take a drive down north, or up south (as we say hereabouts), armed with cameras to capture some views. Would be great to get to the 'Enchanted Place' where there are trees that still might be gripping to their leaves. For sure they'll be blown away next week when the next round of gales are due in. These past couple of weeks we've had more sunshine than through the so-called summer - still waiting for that to arrive in earnest.

Aurora can't understand why the sun is not up yet and keeps pestering the curtains and blinds in an effort to find it haha She'll be a little happier next week when the clocks change - daylight will arrive earlier.

It's nearly time to don hubby's outdoor footwear - looks terrific with jammies and housecoat - not! And no, am not taking a piccy. Though I should take one of my hair each morning since getting new goosefeather bedding. Not being one to glance at mirrors these days, it came as a real shriek-emitting experience to see the many directions my long hair had travelled through the night. Looked for all the world like I'd spent hours in a hen-house with them all trying to create their own version of a new hair do. Lovely way to start the day - with a right good laugh.

Think it's time for a fresh froffy coffee before braving the great outdoors. It's so calm, my ears hurt, but at least I won't get blown about the garden looking like some demented banshee in a white housecoat. And maybe ... just maybe ... I might get to do some crafting later on. Have a good day and happy crafting y'all.
Susan :)

Ahaaa!

Well, s'been a while since having a Blog scribble, thanks to forgetting my way here and other of life's little trials and tribulations. Despite that, the creativity bug is still busying away, so hopefully will add bits and pieces on a more regular basis. Aurora has taken up oodles of my time and I'm delighted to say is thoroughly settled and got us well trained haha Right ... back to the drawing board ... catcha soon and happy crafting.

Introducing ...

Aurora!

This is my beautiful new cat, a Ragdoll Blue Colourpoint, weighs a ton and is really a fluffball on legs. She arrived at the beginning of September, escorted all the way and been treated like royalty ever since.
Since losing Cassie, there was nothing for it but to fill the void (in both brain and house haha). I found this beautiful cat needed a home and after much communication with her foster-mum, Aurora was finally in the air and on her way.

Not being the strongest person in the world, and with my extra-strong friend Arfur (Arthritis), I wasn’t able to lift Aurora in her air-carrier. Many people milled around willing to help, asking what breed she is, oohing and ahhing in chorus at her fascinating blue eyes. Her foster-mum overheard a couple of pilots commenting on the lovely dog in the carrier, prior to Aurora being checked in on the aircraft. Yep, she’s big!

She’s been slowly introduced to the various rooms – sounds like we live in a castle – eh no – and has taken a great fancy to hubby’s chair, especially when he’s due home from work. Getting her special food has been nothing short of a nightmare, but success prevails and thankfully her appetite does not match her size, so what was sent with her, is still on the go, supplemented with the nearest we could get in the meantime. However, today we collect the big order of her special food and can breathe a sigh of relief.

Aurora certainly fills the void with her gentle giant personality, but is not into kitty kisses, sitting on my lap or putting her paw on my face. I’ve already taken many photos of her, but this one I found particularly touching. Hubby was fooled into thinking he’d been adopted by her when honoured with her presence on his knees for about half an hour! Then we realised it was a serious hint that he was sitting in HER chair haha

The vet is very impressed with her too and gave her the once over while we registered her. She’s in tip-top health, with one draw-back. She doesn’t announce (with one of those special meows) the imminent hairball deposit, so my toes are developing eyes haha

I miss Cassie, always will, but am so glad to have Aurora and day by day we’re learning each other’s personalities. She is truly a beauty.

'Raggy' Crafter lol :) Susan
