Granny and the short news.

Hello All.

Just reporting in to assure you I am still alive.
And kicking.
Ok…not kicking.
Just shuffling.

So what have I been up to?
Not much.
Mex and I went to a park last Sunday.
Art in the park.
Hmpffff.
A great place to go if you want someone else’s unwanted ornaments.
Or lots of second hand books.
Normally, I would come back with books.
But I am right off reading.
And there is no space here for one more book.

Mex has stopped making his mosaic mirrors for a while.
Now he is into mosaic clocks.
The man has time on his hands.
Sorry….couldn’t resist.
Actually, they are great.

 

Today would have been Wendy’s birthday.
Damn I miss her.

I have lost nearly five kgs.
Damn it has taken a long time.
Hmmmm…11 lbs sounds much better.

My hair is getting greyer by the day.
A new experience.
Right now any experience is good.

So…all my news for now.

Oh no wait.
I had a weird dream last night.
I was going to a wedding.
Have no idea who the bride was.
And I was wearing a dress.
With no sleeves.
Not a dream….a nightmare.
I do not do sleeveless.
Old skin is wrinkly.
And very ugly.
Eeeeeeeeeek.

  1. It has to be really really hot for me to wear anything sleeveless these days! I know what it’s like to lose a good friend, makes a big hole in your life *hug* I like the clock.

  3. So “Art in the Park” is the new name for flea market??
    Mm, I’m also thinking of making a clock. Just one, though, for the newly weds in the family. I want to give them, rather belatedly, a self-made gift.
    Remember the good times with Wendy today.

  6. New follower – via Tilly’s blog – I like your take on life: if you don’t like something, moan about it!

    I so agree about sleeveless dresses – though maybe the weight loss might change perceptions!

  9. Welcome back Granny! Good to see a post from you. Losing a friend or loved one is difficult and hardest around birthdays and holidays….I know it’s not easy. Losing weight however is a good thing no matter how much or how little, congratulations on that news! Take care.

  11. I’m glad to see you back again. I know you miss Wendy terribly. But you’re doing great on your diet. You’re right. 11 lbs. does sound better. You should be in the States where we use pounds. But then again, it sounds like we have so much to lose at the beginning of a diet. Mex’s clock looks great. I’m into mosaics but I make nothing useful. Only make pictures. Well, I did make a jewelry box and a tray. I guess those are useful. But most of my stuff isn’t useful. Missed you.

    • Hi There Maire…have missed you too.
      Mex is having great fun with the clocks and they don’t cost too much to make.
      I agree…we should start the diet in kgs and then lose in pounds!

  12. We went to an “Antique Show” last week
    Like your “Art in the Park”
    More trash than treasure. 🙄

    I guess sellers sell more JUNK when they call it Art, Antiques, or Junque.

  14. Well done on the weight loss. Art in the Park in Ireland is usually a focus for sculptors with their work set out before the wonderful backdrop of the Botanic gardens in Dublin, or the 5* Culloden Hotel high above Belfast Lough. All the pieces both large and small, are for sale through a professional agent.

  18. Hubby complaining about all my books was the very reason my daughter bought me an e-reader last year. I have 32 books loaded onto my reader right now & it’s still as slim as ever! Have you thought about this? I got a Sony e-reader because I an borrow books from the library if I don’t want to buy & keep a book. Although I can say there do seem to be slightly more books available on Amazon for Kindle, I can’t speak for the quality of the Kindle.

  20. Really like the clock – please tell Mex. The year is almost an an end Granny and I really hope that 2013 will be a whole lot kinder to you than 2012.
