Bits and Pieces

Finally posting another sketch layout that I did earlier in the month - kept forgetting to copy the picture to upload. Once again it's of Chelsea Flower Show, and once again it's pink! I really must find some pictures that aren't pink to scrap. I really love doing the sketches 'cos it means i don't have to think too hard about what I'm doing. I've now found a fab LO by Cathy Z that I really need to have a go at, and already have 2 subjects in mind ... more on that later if it works out.

Lynne confirmed that she is going to come and stay with me in Spain for the last week of the holiday (actually she confirmed this a couple of weeks ago now, but we went for a drink at the Robin Hood on Wednesday evening to discuss it more and generally catch up). It's nice to know that I won't be alone for the whole time, although of course I'll have the dogs and Carrie & Bill will be coming to visit. And of course I still have access to the internet, so not exactly cast away ...

Last night I met up with Lisa (Quincy) and we went for a meal at d:alto in Bluewater - very scrummy it was too, and nicely relaxing, sitting outside by the river (apart from the spiders - and there were LOTS of spiders!) It's been absolutely ages since we got together and it was really fab to see her. Chatted about a million and one things and of course there was a little sadness at the news that 'The Hoff' has cancelled his pantomime appearance, which we were obviously all geared up to go and see, and her devotion to him, even in the face of his recent troubles is very sweet. Lucky girl has been busy watching Guns 'n' Roses and getting involved in all sorts of strange work things involving gay people and baby blue t-shirts (yep i have pics). Hopefully we won't be so long in getting together again.

She very rightly reprimanded me for not keeping my blog up-to-date (not the first one to do that either) so I am going to make a concerted effort to find time to blog regardless of how busy I am. Just wish I could find the time to get my ATC swaps and my CJ entries done too!
