waistcoat

Morning! Tho I don't feel fully awake to be honest. I've taken the day off my Blackpool job so I can catch up with some other bits, and mainly get ready for the birthday weekend - cleaning, wrapping presents, making cards, icing a cake etc.
I'll give myself the kick up the bottom in a moment but for now I'm resting on my laurels for having successfully got my youngest off on his school trip in requisite Victorian costume. We were informed waistcoats were usually "handed down from the master" which was handy when I was explaining that I'd be making his from an old velvet blouse of mine. Last night. I used to be so much more organised. Still,  we were both pleased with the end result fortunately. I'm still sad that one of his friends didn't turn up on time for the coach, which had to leave - is it wrong to hope he's ill and not just late?
Right, house isn't going to clean itself...

  1. Already powering through the list so ok to get sidetracked by this, incl the song at the end :D http://www.susannahfishburne.com/index.php/me-mine/suse/lgbt/566-makingmeme
    I don't want to hijack the important point about God loving us without any issue over our sexuality, but I could relate to it for myself too. Sometimes my own path seems cliff top like for different reasons, and how reassuring to know we're not alone up there, but are delighted in.

  2. Often have an overactive imagination when one of my kids goes off on a coach, so seem v teary today about the thought of losing anyone I love. So amongst the cleaning am trying to cheer myself with uplifting music. Like...Spongebob:
    Here, Let me help you...
    F is for friends who do stuff together.
    U is for You and me, TRY IT!
    Plankton: N is for Anywhere and anytime at all.
    Sea Creatures: Down here in the deep blue sea!
    Plankton: Wait...I don't understand ...I feel all tingly inside...
    Should we stop?
    Spongebob: No! That's how you're supposed to feel!
