Good morning Friday

[Osc]

Morning all, bright, sunny and cold here. I will wrap up and get out for a walk shortly, then there is hand washing and some ironing to be done, plus other h/work if I can be bothered Mr Osc has gone to play golf. Have a good day everyone

Happy to read that you've got a lot of pictures to post Jen, what with me being a bit on the nosey side Really hope the weather is in your favour today so the drive gets finally finished!

Kaz, that's a lovely idea to go back and get the ornament for D! I've sorted out a couple of gifts for the boys this week. A canvas for Tom of a photo he took while in New York and one for Joe of the players celebrating after his favourite ever goal (Anthony Martial v Liverpool last season - sorry Ton). It's so hard to buy fun little surprises for them though now but I'm pleased with these.

Bill walked me for just over 4 miles this morning. And I was wearing the boots that make me swear too. They make me swear because they were flippin' expensive and despite being a perfect fit, waterproof, warm and comfortable in the foot, the left ankle rubs terribly. I covered it well with a dressing made of micropore and lint this morning but I've still got a blister.

This is the photo of Tom's that I've had made into a canvas for him.

Jo, that is such a fab photo - It'll be super impressive on a large canvas; nice one!

Thanks Ria, it does look good but was quite a chore to get it done as I had to go through his Facebook pics from his week there and try various ones on the website to see which looked the best and he'd posted well over 500

Love that pic Jo!! Will look great as a canvas!

Gorgeous sunny and cold day here - I'm not long back from town, made a start on the C pressies, and then have bought a couple more at a better price online when I got home! I bought Lily a dolly so it's here when she comes to visit, but none of them are very pretty these days.....I remarked on this to an older checkout lady, and she agreed with me! Got Lewis a couple of games...anyone remember Spirograph? I got him a replica of that, I hope he'll enjoy it as much as I did when I was little. And a guessing game. Got J a veggie cook book and some of her fav perfume.

Currently waiting for the d/washer repair man - again!! Dont' ask....hopefully this will be third time lucky, although I am collecting Lewis from school at 3.45 so will be out for about 20 mins.....*sigh*

I have some ironing to do between now and then so I'll get a wriggle on....

Have a good day everyone xxx

Oh I loved spirograph Gal, I would play with mine for hours!

Jo that will make a fantastic canvas!!!

Well we went back, but the little ornament had gone - I bought one that was very similar, so I hope she likes it! It was much more pleasant at the market today, the sun was out, and the skaters were on the ice I also bought myself a new handbag, with my own money (earnings) which is a nice feeling Might put a pic on the Boutique board later as it is seriously gorgeous Becks popped into the hairdressers down there (Headkandy) to discuss having her hair coloured after Christmas - she fancies something a bit different. So it was a pleasant afternoon

The docks are such a lovely place

pity about the ornament, but I'm sure D will be just as happy with what you've chosen

Thanks Ria, and yes I agree - we are lucky to have them right on our doorstep
