In Between Days

Wednesday.

Wash day. 

I set to and batch made Walter. Then I made a few things like a snow globe, and a card or two... 

Great fun, bar a bit of swearing! Tim's small dies are beautiful but can be a little frustrating to put together. But I do think batch making is the way to go... 

Thursday.

Although it was dull, we went on the bus, Kev using his bus pass! To the embankment and then the walk down to Lady Bay. Plenty of rest stops and a hot chocolate at Greggs and a sit down in there to boot. We started at Hobbycraft. Must say I get more and more disappointed with them. Nothing out of the ordinary and apart from their own brand basic tools and packs nothing new and exciting. At one time you couldn't drag me away, now sometimes I can't be arsed to go in... 

We went in the food warehouse to find those ginger oaty biscuits zero sugar ones by gullon. And yay! They had them... 

There is a one below where pound stretcher was now, so we popped in there, got some more candy cane style baubles for the tree, and a gumball machine that we have a joint project planned for... Watch this space for updates... 

Got home as the rain started to come down, and luckily the post came after we got home with my set of books I'd ordered from Waterstones. The Mayfair Witches, as they were some of the ones I couldn't replace on kindle after having to sell them when we left the pub. After watching the series on I player I wanted to re read them again. So I got all three for £15 brand new with free p&p. So when Kev went in to watch the football I sat with Willow on my knee and started reading The Witching Hour... Old books you've read before are like seeing an old friend. A gentle reminder of the parts you've forgot, and bring back some very poignant memories. Like the last time I read this one was one winter when we were living at Grafton Road in Burton. In those days I spent a lot of evenings on my own, as Kev was on nights, and would curl up on the sofa with Rouble and Molochai and read for hours. Both beautiful cats, sadly gone but not forgotten. None of them are... We've had some amazing cats, all with their own unique personalities...
