this is just a post

I really have nothing people

no rants

no raves

no pictures of beautiful things

not going to discuss world affairs

and stupid nasty raving lunatic men

not going to

so

what then

I found these photos on the camera

and that's what you're going to get today

:)

I will, right here and now,

say thank you for all the lovely comments you made about the

snow people

...

over on Flickr too

(I know some of you come here from there...so thanks for that too)

the Missus has been invited into two groups

which is kind of neat 

and I will say I am not going into production

I have sated my need to have them and they will sit

on the shelf together where I can see them

and smile

maybe every now and then I will make a new 'at for them

but maybe not!!!

 I baked another cake the day before yesterday

which is why you see two broken eggs there

I wanted a Victoria Sponge

I looked for my recipe and couldn't find it and then remembered I had thrown all those oily greasy floury pieces of paper, that I called my recipe file, away

so I had to look it up on line

I found one

and I don't recommend it

but I will eat it

even though it isn't the best

but I didn't know that before I baked it

which is why

this goofy thing was done

I took photos of the washing up

.....

aren't you just too too excited

.......

I think my camera objected because there were more but they all turned out blurry and bad

and it also objected to having cake batter all over it

oh the trials and tribulations of being a photographer and a set designer

!!!!!!!!!

we woke up to a dusting of snow yesterday

and cold returned too

but the sun came out and it felt like Spring again by afternoon

I, on the other hand, was truly disappointed when the needles I ordered

didn't arrive in the mail

and I do so long to try them out

the old ones are just making me crazy

I undid or tried to undo

a big tangled mess o'yarn

was able to wind half of it before this happened and I gave up

yesterday was one of those days you wonder why you got up!

But I did make my self a really yummy dinner

as a reward for not biting anyone's head off or throwing them in the lake!!!

I made some fish, which I sauted, with green beans, corn

and rice.......

no I didn't take you a picture!!!!

I thought about it but the husband walked in and I felt really, really silly!

:)

maybe next time, because this week I'm eating fish and steak

every night

no not together

with lots of veggies

and

CAKE!!!!

the husband doesn't do real food the way I like it

so he's on his own

or he has to put in his order for whatever it is he feels like

but in time enough for me to know

I'm like that!!!

Something else I did yesterday was try to do a new stitch

 that Dear Sweet

Nilla

has been trying to teach me

from her blog and an e-mail

long distance knitting lessons

ain't life grand!!!

Right before I started writing this

I was sat here

 ( as they say in the North of England and I love it)

  needles in hand trying to do what she shows

here

this sweet woman has two sick kids and she isn't feeling that great either

 but she

sent a photo with instructions

for me to follow

Nilla, I am trying as hard as my brain will let me to figure out what a

hank is

I will let you know if I do!!!

If you go to her blog and I hope you will

you will see her explanation of where this pattern comes from

so

"tack så mycket!"

Nilla

I really appreciate the help

:)

and that is all I have

today

I am trying not to think about the needles that didn't arrive

I hope they come today

I hope they aren't stuck in the snow somewhere along the line

so how's about a cup o'tea and a small slice of

CAKE!!!!!!

and I will leave you with this

a sneek peek at what popped into the brain this morning at

5 am

when I awoke

and then I'll have to go and hunt down a video place where I can watch the end of

"V"

because I fell asleep while watching it last night

silly silly silly show

but I watch it!!!!

see you later

all you lovely people you

:)
