We Remember all those who were lost and all those who were left behind

Light a Candle in Remembrance

The above picture just about sums up our Politicians on both sides of the Houses of Parliament at the moment including The Speaker!  In fact their behaviour over the last few months and in particular the last few weeks has been more like a Monty Python Sketch than elected officials!  I would say that the Reception Class at our Village School are better behaved than this lot!

I really try very hard to avoid the news but the bits I do see I can honestly say I am ashamed of how people in my Country are behaving..  Also all the other news where people are having a go at each for no reason, country leaders are accusing others of all and sundry and every day we have someone crying “the sky is falling” literally!  I really do think the World has gone mad!

There was an old campaign slogan by one of our Political parties years ago saying that if the other party gOt in “would the last person leaving the country switch the lights off”!!!!  It was a great slogan and that Party subsequently won the election but with all the chaos at the moment, it really does feel like that now!!!!

Having had a very busy but productive week last week, not so much this!!  It is one of those taking two steps forward, four back!!!!  Hey ho.

All Treacle is worried about is the continuous supply of her Bonios!!!! 

Youngest has tablets from the Doctor for his chest infection and is beginning to feel a little better but Treacle is happy that he is at home for snuggles.  However my dryer will not be fixed now until a week today as the part has to come from Germany and then the engineer cannot get here until next week, Grr.  However the weather is supposed to be nice again at the weekend so hopefully I will be able to get all the washing dried outside!!!!

Yep it’s definitely one of Those Weeks!!!!

So last week was a long week but the weekend, of course, flew by!  I went to help DH on Friday evening whilst he was setting up all the sound equipment for Saturday.  It was a long evening and we didn’t get home until 10.00pm!

I spent the whole day in Nottingham shopping on Saturday for various Birthdays coming up in the next few weeks.  It wasn’t as busy as I was expecting it to be and then I met up with Fiance and her sister who were also there shopping! 

Sunday DH was again out at swimming things so I got to do some quilting but then Youngest came home ill!!  He had not been feeling very well since Friday evening after work but got worse over the weekend.  I took him to the Doctors today and he has a stomach upset and chest infection so is now on tablets!!!!  He was also up in the night and so were we, so am really tired now!!!!

I think I am going to have one of THOSE weeks!!!

Tonight DH is out again at the swimming club meeting so I will be able to carry on with my quilting, whilst nursing the poorly sick person!!!!  I just hope I don’t get!!!!

I hope you all have a wonderful week.

Yep we have made it to Friday!  You know how usually the weeks fly by, well this week for me has been very, very long!  I don’t particularly know why; I have been very busy with work every day and then doing Home jobs in the evening as well so I suppose it is that.  I have also had a few late nights as well as early mornings so that could also be the reason why!!!!

I got all my cleaning done today (I always look like the above when I am cleaning!!!) and tomorrow I am off to Nottingham.  I have quite a few Birthdays coming up which need presents for so that is my job tomorrow, whilst DH roasts at the swimming pool all day!!!! 

DH is out again all Sunday with swimming so I will be quilting!!!!

I hope you lovely lot have had a great week and will have a good weekend.

Hugs, Susie xx

I feel like Snoopy today!!!  It has been a very busy work day and I have only just finished at 6.15pm!!  Still have dinner to cook and a basket of ironing to do!  Plus my tumble dryer has broken!!!  Grr

At the weekend we got quite a few jobs done in the garden and it is starting to look tidy ready for it’s winter snooze!  We had a lovely evening with our good friends Val & Dave who came for dinner on Saturday evening.

Treacle has been spending all day outside whilst the weather is still nice, so at night she is absolutely zonked!!!!  Doesn’t stop her from using the WHOLE of our bed!

You know that I love Christmas but I am already getting bombarded with emails, mailers etc about Christmas!!!!  I know there are three months to go but honestly!!!!!

I hope your Monday is going okay and have a great week.

Hugs, Susie xx
