Poor me

PS  Called this Poor me then didn't say I was suffering from a nasty cold, runny nose and heavy chest etc.  Not sleeping very well because can't breathe, everything takes such an effort at the moment. Sure I will be ok soon.  There is no other reason for me feeling sorry for myself as I am sure you must have noticed by now.


Have had a busy few weeks, it only seems like yesterday our new grandson was born, his mum has had her ups and downs but all are doing fine now.    

Went to Kent to spend a few days with them and a few days with my daughter and her husband.  They bought me a ticket to see Billy Connolly in Brighton, it was a lovely treat.  Had pizza for dinner which I shouldn't eat because of the wheat but I enjoyed it - spoilt myself, it made a lovely change...... I love Pizza, had olives too which are gooooood.  The Man himself was amazing, all the rumours about him walking off stage were just that - rumours.   Spent the night crying with laughter.  I don't know how he manages to find himself back in his first joke to finish it after wandering off all over the place but he does.  Amazing as I said.  

I am so proud of my daughter, her dad promised her a sewing machine for birthday and Christmas, she has made all sorts of things, starting with cushions, a waistcoat for her husband, made a couple of tops and modified her dress  Well done my Darling, proving as clever as we knew you to be.

Mother's day was spent with my mother, son, daughter-in-law, grandsons, daughter and her husband so that was lovely day.  Only spoilt by the drive back and work the next day.   Work hasn't eased up, everyone is feeling the strain.  We are four people down but they still count so we can't have any extra staff to help.  Ah well, I work with fantastic people - they have to be to cope!!!!!!!!!

I have finished the tea cosy and will post pictures after Easter when I have given it to my mum-in-law.  My husband likes it so I am sure she will.  Looking forward to going to Pembroke for Easter, our son is coming too so it will be nice to have time to spend with him.  The question is - which of my many projects is easily transported can't lug sewing machine up. Have started on my Somerset daughter-in-law's surprise present; very happy with it so far. 

My youngest daughter has been working on her neice's project, she is pleased with the way that is coming along so will be able to post pictures of them too soon.    Not sure what I have done to deserve such talented children, they are all so clever.  I am so proud of them.  My eldest son has several odd jobs to add to his main occupation, which is fantastic and brings in extra money.  Please are happy to get him to do things because he is trustworthy and honest.  Such a good father to my grandsons too, coping brilliantly when his wife was in hospital, not many men would cope so well with a week old and a two and a half year old, as well as not knowing how his wife was after being carted away in an ambulance in the middle of the night.  My youngest son is doing so well at work, people are finding out what his many talents are and letting him get on with all sorts of work knowing it will be done perfectly and on time.  He also enjoys cooking as well as doing up their home.  If I say it myself he has very good taste, a good eye too.

All my pictures are posted long after the event.  I should make myself something then I can post it as I go along.  

It is a lovely day today so need to peg washing out.   It is beautiful after what seems a long winter.  Must make the most of the summer this year.  Camping here we come, as a family too. - we take up most of the camp site.  Expert sons and sons in law at BBQing, just the rest my husband and I deserve.
