It may be Spring according to the calendar and all the adverts are trying to convince us it’s Spring but the weather isn’t! It’s really cold again!  Of course Treacle is feeling it having had all her coat cut off!!!!  She was curled up in her basket today in the smallest ball you can imagine!

We had a great weekend.  We saw our friends on Friday night for dinner at their home and then had friends round to our home for dinner on Saturday.  It was really great to catch up with everyone’s news.  Sunday was busy too with haircuts for all before our vacation and tidying up after our dinner party.  Of course I didn’t get any pictures!  We all went to bed early last night as we were all tired!!!!!

Treacle trying to creep round Daddy to get another biscuit!

Please can I have another biscuit?

I didn’t have time to do any quilting on Saturday but I did do some on Sunday.  I was quite happily sewing away and dropped a piece of fabric, bent down to pick it up from Eldest’s chair I was sitting in when it decided to tip up completely, dumping me on the floor, the back hitting my back!!!!!  I also managed to knock over my ironing table and dump the iron on the floor!!!!  No one was in the house at the time and Treacle just looked at me as if to say “what are you doing now”!  Having picked myself up and righted everything DH appeared (he had been in the garage with Eldest fiddling with his car!) and decided it was because Eldest’s chair wheels are small so as I moved forward they moved backwards!  I won’t be doing that again!

Today I have been working all day and tonight I am going to get our bags out and try and get organised for the weekend.  I am also trying to keep up with the washing and ironing so I don’t have lots to do at the weekend!  Well that’s the plan.

I hope your Monday is going well.

Last night here in the UK we saw Episode 6 of Season 10 of The X-Files and they left us hanging!  I mean really!!!  I do hope we are not going to have to wait for another year before they make the next six and lets face it, the die-hard fans we really need more than six episodes. 

I have read a few of the critics comments and some like and some don’t but for me the writing was just the same and they were good.  It was also good to see the “older” characters as well, especially Mulder’s line “I don’t do stairs anymore”!  I loved it! 

The weather is still spring like but it has turned cold again and today is overcast, but we have seen the sun for a few days which was great.  Treacle spent yesterday on our bed.  Our room is at the back of our home and gets the sun from 11.00am until evening and it was very warm through the windows, so she was basking!!  She will need it from tomorrow as it is her spa day!

Work took up all of yesterday and the whole day was busy and frustrating at the same time.  It started first thing when my hairdryer decided to break!  Fortunately I had finished using it and today I was going to get it cut but my hairdresser called to cancel!  So I will have to have a trip out to get a new one.  The rest of the week looks busy too as I have to bake cakes tomorrow for Thursday for the swimming club’s Sport Relief fundraising, a bake sale.  DH is out at a meeting Thursday evening but has to get back as it is also our Head Coach’s 30th Birthday on Friday, so the Club are giving him a gift and we have a card signed by all his swimmers. 

Friday we are going out to see friends who we haven’t seen since the beginning of the year for dinner and then Saturday we have friends coming to us for dinner and we haven’t seen them since last July!!!!!  So looking forward to this weekend.  I will hopefully get some pictures of our dinner on Saturday.

Still busy quilting things for the stall, some of which work and some don’t but the pile is growing 🙂

I hope your Tuesday is going well.

Having done the school run in the fog I thought it was set to be like that for the rest of the day but as soon as the sun appeared it burnt off the fog and turned into a lovely spring day.  Cold still but at least you feel that Spring is making itself felt.

I have spent the day grocery shopping, cleaning and generally tidying everything in sight, including Treacle.  As the day was so nice she spent quite a bit of it outside until I caught her digging!   She was then brought in and sent to her basket, after having dried and got the mud out of her paws!!!!!

Whilst I was out shopping today I got the various Easter Eggs which we give.  Usually with the children I get a small egg and then a book, which we always did with our Boys.  They also got the small eggs which we used to hide for the Easter Egg Hunt but as they are now twenty and sixteen they don’t want to do the Hunt anymore!  So they have small eggs and Eldest has a half bottle of champagne to share with Girlfriend and Youngest has asked for a new jumper!  Better than lots of chocolate. 

My Easter Egg is always some fabric from the quilt shop of course!!!  There is a quilt shop in Beauly near Inverness and it is lovely.  The lady who runs Patches Corner has her shop on their farm and she carries a large range of fabrics so DH always goes with me and then pays!!!  Over the weekend I will also be getting some more things done for my stall. 

I hope you all have a lovely weekend and the weather is kind to you wherever you are.
