Hello my lovely readers and welcome to this instalment of my little life blog!
Things have been busy at Bramble Cottage, hence the lack of posting....The fact that my pictures are all on my ipad and i still can't seem to post from it, isn't helping.
So what's going on? Well, the kitchen windows are finally in and I noticed a difference in temperature immediately. It is too hot now. I'm often in pants and a tshirt as it's sweltering in my little kitchen. My neighbours are grateful for the kitchen blinds.
Bento-mania is in full swing. Here is a little selection of my latest ones -
As you can see, some lunches are healthier than others, but salad just doesn't stay fresh when I flying all over the place, even with little ice packs in the cool bag.
My cousin and his wife have had a baby, so I leapt into quilting mode and made this for baby Max! Of course, I posted it off to Germany, before I took a picture of the finished quilt. You get the idea from the picture though!
I bumped into 3 people at work this morning who all commented that I haven't posted my blog in a very long time, so here we go! It's nice to be missed....
I treated myself to Netflicks for Christmas. I'm not a huge fan of TV, but love watching films, so for £6 a month, I thought, why not? The trouble is, I'm addicted to RuPaul's drag race!! 12 drag queens compete to become America's next drag superstar. It is tacky and bitchy and I love it! I've watched all 5 series now and feeling down until series 6 starts up.
Work is.........well, work. Until my dream of becoming an international recording artist (can hold a tune, but it's not going to happen), an infant school teacher (more probably), or a fabulous drag queen (I have the lips, cutting wit & facial expressions, apparently), flying will pay the mortgage on Bramble Cottage for a bit longer. Plus the thought of 'tucking' is slightly off putting. *offyouallgotogoogle
Just done a lovely trip. A day in Frankfurt with good food and great company, plus an afternoon in Sweden for a spot of fabric shopping! Need I say more?
The hens are fine, only the two new girls, Oona and Myrtle are laying. Oona is still completely bald on her back, no feather pulling that I have witnessed, but she is fine. She can always be found in the middle of the chicken scrum in the Eglu, so I'm not worried about her being too cold.
The wonder dog is fab. We are still going to training on a Monday evening when work allows. I am seeing progress and he seems to enjoy the classes, although it could be the extra treats that he looks forward to.
In his special Christmas bandana -
Just look at that face!
Time for me to head off to bed now. I'm up at 2.40 for work tomorrow, yes, that's 2.40 AM. Not happy, but the public need me to serve delicious (vom) snacks and deliver the best customer service at 37,000 feet. Clearly they haven't met me.
So, with 3 alarms set, I'm off. Sorry it's been so long, but I've been busy and well, erm, nope, no other excuses really. My next blog post will be about my kitchen windows, a saga, and my mortifying experience of lying on the cold marble of the Sheraton hotel lobby in Brussels, surrounded by overweight and ancient United airlines stewardesses. In ugly shoes. (Them, not me). Bet you can't wait!
