Nice shot Babs. We do have some awesome beaches don't we. Your Mum sounds like a kick in the pants. A 'shishi in the toidy' ? what an imagination. Best wishes to her.

PITA shopping ? I love shopping, but have to do it alone, no help, no suggestions, no complaining, no interference. DW and I have vastly different interests. I'm a roam-and-explore and she is a get-in-and-get-out. I'm bored with clothes and she's not interested in tools. We did spend a couple hours together at the big outlet mall getting the kids christmas present.

Dear one has to work today and I have a pottery class tonight so we won't meet till late. If I'm REALLY lucky the tiles will be out of the kiln and I can see if the glazes are what I had in mind. Have to take the backyard plan to be copied in prep for thursdays visit from the landscape designer. There was a thought that this year I could have everything cleaned up and looking like a real home instead of a junkyard. Got to work on that. The carpenter's knee surgery should be healed before long so he can get to those things I'm no longer able to do. Need to find a pair of comfortable flat-soled garden shoes, if there is such an animal. Hate tracking bitty pieces of dirt into the house, and everything seems to have "traction" grooves on th soles. Who needs traction in a flat garden?? Too cold in the shop to do any carving now that the propane tank is empty. Should bake the Jumble dough today too. As tough as it is I might be better off using it in the shed to plug up air leaks. The next attempt will be better.

Sarv, was it thou who asked about a picture of the carving? It's on my diary thing in the Journals.
Mary, hope you get a break from lambing soon. That's a whole bunch of kids. What is the total of you and the neighbors together ?

Everyone else, new visiters,lurkers, Carly, Fancy, Baily, Darby and all the other Sheltie kids, Immy, Tinker and I wish you all the most perfect day ever.
