A few days to be catching up on today. Friday we went to the funeral and all went well, sad but nice to see family. Saturday we had friends come over with their baby for the night. William was a bit freaked out by the whole experience and spent all his time either hiding under a bush in the garden or hiding under a bed. Sausage was more relaxed about the whole thing! Sunday we went to the park and Alice really wasn't that bothered about the swings! However, Pete and I both had a go on the big kids swings and he *just* managed to get a little higher than me! I'm cursing Fran and Pete as they decided that rather than repair our TV we should really buy a new LCD one before we have kids. Damn them! Pete and J went off to get a TV while I caught up with all the gen from Fran and did some of my knitting. I made Fran get on with some knitting too! Here's what she made this weekend...I might start sending her random items in the post that she has to make something with!
Today was dry and at times sunny! We decided this morning to crack on with what we lovingly call the great plum massacre. Between ours and next doors front garden there is a massive wild plum hedge and every year it needs to be controlled so it doesn't get tangled in the phone line. Last year J's dad helped with this task, today was J's turn to get up the ladder and he did a great job.
Before and After - much neater!
I have done quite a bit of sewing this evening but its now too dark to take good photographs. I made a batch of penguin brooches, rabbit brooches and almost completed a batch of robin brooches. We also got the PS3 out of its box!!!!!!!!!!!! We've had the bloomin' thing for almost a year and never really had a reason to get it out, but now with a new HD TV J decided it was time so we can watch DVD in much better quality(?!). I was holding out until THIS GAME gets released - I can't wait!!! I'll leave you with this shot of the internet on our TV.....It's my blog! How cool?! (I'll just add that I'm a bit of a technophobe, I have a phone I have no idea how to use and I'd only just got the hang of our last TV remote! J deals with all that sort of thing, I just agree the budget!)
Back tomorrow with lots of crafty photos!
