Going Gothic

Well my light fitting broke so I went on the search for a new ceiling light, the one I had was lovely, 5 lights and little glass shades around each light.

I couldn't find anything similar so this is what I got, 8 lights to the back room is like Blackpool illuminations. I quite like it though.

The Family

I meant to share the summertime pictures with you earlier but the blog has been so busy I just couldn’t squeeze them in, this is what Jack loves best, playing with the water in the garden watering the flowers and indeed mostly drowning them ha ha.

I love the concentration on his face. The middle top photo is so funny, he looks like he couldn’t stop a pig in a poke.

The next one is from today with his older brother Kyle, he is staying with them for a week and jack adores him.

A pub lunch and a play area for the children they had a fabulous time.

Memorial and Kite

I had a really sad day Monday, very weepy, since no longer working with dates I forget all kinds of things, I often don’t even know what date it is, I know a round about date but I always have to check the exact date when asked now.

I knew that Friday was the day I was demoing for Letraset at Create and Craft and I ploughed myself into getting lots of prep done for that date.

Today a song came on the radio (Rod Stewart Sailing) and it stopped me dead in my tracks, I suddenly heard myself saying “oh my God, what date is it?” This song was released shortly after loosing my brother Russell he was lost at sea when he was in the Merchant Navy, a young lad of 17 years old with the world at his feet. I franticly looked at a calendar and realised that I was one day late for his memorial, I’m devastated, I never miss it or forget, I hadn’t even rang my Mam, well the tears started falling and just wouldn’t stop. How on earth could I forget, I think of him every single day, why did nothing trigger my memory.

Of course I rang my Mam and couldn’t apologise enough, and of course she was fine about it but I still feel utterly ashamed at myself.
