Sunshine After the Newcastle Floods

Well it was sunshine best part of today but you can bet your bottom dollar there would will be a massive clean up in progress, I think it’s all the rain that must have inspired me to get this made.

Floods in the Northeast (Newcastle)

Jeepers we had some weather going on in Tyne and Wear, late afternoon the sky turned black at work, we all even went outside to look at the sky, it was weird, so heavy.

These are some of the latest pictures from our area.

Tyne Bridge

Over Newcastle

Metro trouble

Stay safe my friends.

Behind Closed Doors–The Bar

Another Behind Closed Doors by La Pashe  to wet your decoupage appetite

This one is the bar scene

All I did for the background is used an 8 x 8 card and draw some bricks in a black fineliner.

The holly is from some Christmas twine that I bought at Asda last year and the bell is from a loca haberdashery

Girl with Sign - Make your own sentiment

This is a great way to add the sentiment of your choice, it doesn’t even have to be posh writing, in scrapbooking I was always in the frame of thinking that if you hand wrote your journaling someone is more likely to read it, I think that would work here too.

Girl with Sign by Mo’s Digital Pencil 

I love pink and green together it make such a sweet card.

My headache is subsiding into a dull ache after numerous steaming. Thank Goodness.

Hair is cut neat and tidy again another thank goodness.

My hospital appointment today was with the skin specialist for my psoriasis, I used to go to these appointment in absolute bits, worrying what treatment I would get next, not really liking the specialist that I was under, I used to get very weepy feeling that he didn’t listen or have a clue to my feelings.

However this year I was given a new doctor after a change around in the department, I can say with hand on heart he is the best in the country, no more worries before I see him, he listens and he explains and he chats to me as a person not a number, he asks my what I want and gives me options in treatment, he is one in a million so no more re shuffles please. The new nurse is lovely too, mind you the original nurses especially the sister were lovely, very kind.

Not Quite Steampunk

You know how it is, tablet after tablet, wanting to rip out an eye with the pain, staring at a computer all day as part of your job when all you want to do it lie in a dark room and sleep it off.

My headache started Saturday and know matter what I couldn't shake it off, Monday Morning came and I had a blind spot in my right eye, I got through a whole packet of Neurofen trying to shake off the pain, taking off my glasses and adding pressure to where it hurt most.

Rushing home knowing I was headed straight to bed, Chris made me dinner and I got back up, more tablets needed, and then I reached for my trusty friend.

A bit of steampunk and some menthol crystals then back to bed.

So this morning it is back to a dull ache, thankfully no work today, hairdressers at 1:30pm and hospital to see specialist after that.

I think another head steaming before I go.
