Drought...

I am having a bit of a 'dry spell' of late... I am finding it difficult to find anything of interest worth blogging about... I am still reading and enjoying everyone's blog butI have simply lost interest in my own for the moment... But then again tomorrow I might feel full of motivation and be ready and raring to go... Until then - see ya!!!!!

Another sunrise surprise!!!!!
















What is worse than having a full bladder first thing in the morning - a great bloody huntsman spider perched directly above the loo!!!!!

Sunrise surprise...



Look what floated over a couple of days ago. I was laying awake in bed just before 7am the other morning and thought I heard a noise... I listened for a minute then realised what the sound was...

I went outside to discover three hot air balloons making their way over the house...

For me they have magical quality about them and I love to discover them 'sitting' strung out over on the horizon. Huge tear drops of colour gracefully drifting across an immense blue canvas sky...

The 'small child' in me is captivated with delight, wonder and fasination. I think it is to do with their movement and the sense of freedom and peacefulness they invoke.

I have often thought they would look good reproduced in something like CQ - imagine where one could go with that - perhaps I shouldn't!!!!

Would I ever go up in one? Considering I am not very good with heights - I don't think so. But then again - I just might!! I understand that there is a landing site not far from us so perhaps next time we will go down and see them come in...

My angel...

P gave me this one for Christmas. I had seen it a few weeks before and I thought how peaceful it was. One day when I have more time I would like to dedicate a piece of stitching to an angel theme. Why do I like angels? As I have said in another thread I am not a religious person but I have always liked the idea of unseen angels watching over us.

A cutting start to the New Year...

Before...



After much deliberation I have had my hair cut - I think the final straw has been the hot weather - that, and the fact that I got it caught in the car door...I love my long hair - but just lately I have had enough of it - so this morning it went...

After...
