Superb Olympics

I was thrilled with the opening to the Olympic games, it depicted the English history and told a story, I sat glued to the TV, I had a few near tears when we remembered those that were no longer with us and Emeli Sandé sang Abide with me,Joyous that children were a major part of the ceremony and a big shout out to Sir Tim Berners-Lee the inventor of WWW as without him I couldn’t be writing this now so I thought very apt that he was there too.

Very sad that Muhammad Ali, a 1960 Olympic gold medallist , came back for the Opening Ceremony and looked so frail (God Bless)

The Olympic cauldron was simply amazing,it was made up of a copper kettle representing each country that was taking part in the games and each kettle was petal shaped and once lit they all joined up to make the cauldron.

You can see it in it’s glory here

Wherever you are in the world good luck in the games.

Potpourri Gardener

My Husband simply loves Sage and Onion Stuffing…. yuck. I think it’s the sage that I dislike but I’m not sure, at Christmas time he cons both My Mam and his own into making him a bowl of the stuff and he eats them all to himself. Christmas gone he even made some himself and of course had to have a practice make but we did have problems buying extra sage to add to the mix.

My Mam is an avid gardener and on Monday produced a large potted sage plant for him to dry his own. There is no escape I tell ya.

This newly released image from Just Inklined is right up my Mams street, Potpourri Gardener.

Souvenir Digital Scrapbooking

Well it was a funny sort of night last night, I wanted to get a card made but after making 2 dinners and two lots of washing up it just wasn't going to happen.

I then remembered a picture that I had wanted to share with you all.

Jack is such a funny fellow now, he even knows how to kid you into things and knows how to have fun winding you up, little imp that he is.

This is the fun loving little man on his holidays have fun on the rides.

His smile is infectious no?

So I have started trying a little exercise each morning, nothing major just enough to raise the heart rate a little, so every morning I have a date with the Wii fit, aerobics step, hula hoop which should be hidden from the public eye ha ha, and then a little jog. Today however it didn't happen, nothing was working on me this morning so I won't miss out, I intend doing it tonight when I get in from work.
