life as it is

my son will not get his results for his exams till friday, as his school sends them out by post. and he needed his results by then as he needs them for college. as on friday he needs to go to college with them. i tried phoning the college but as it was very busy i was unable to speak to i wanted to speak to,so i had a brainwave i went to the college and was able to talk to the person i wanted to talk to. he said still come friday  and explain about the results not coming till friday or saturday and they will be able to fast track my son as soon as he gets the results and he has to go again to the college next week with them. my post doesn't come till after 10 most mornings ,and his appointment is at 10.

1.peanut butter ice cream. yum yum. 2.spent sometime with my grandson who i do not see much of. it was really lovely to see him and we shared some laughs and jokes. 3.getting on with my squares for the blanket . i just love the pattern. the photo of the finished blanket does not give the squares justice,the bobbles and twists and turns.

1.choosing a pattern for a blanket my grandchild to be . i chose a pattern with bobbles on. haven't done bobbles for a long time. and the wool is a soft white. i have got enough in my stash to complete it. i got the wool at a bargin price well over a year ago. 2.finally finished clearing out the cupboards in the kitchen.they are now nice and tidy. 3.son finally came home after being away for most of the week. have to make the most of him at home, as soon he is off to college.

1.went to see my friend of 94 who has been fighting breast cancer. she is winning the battle. good news. 2.my friend is also doing knitting again after so many years of not doing it. she is making squares in blue and pink, to be made into a blanket.brilliant! 3.still decluttering. as you can gather i am a hoarder. it was difficult at first, but now it's getting easier.

1.feeling the autumn chill in the morning and evening now. 2.thought i lost my rose bush due to the hot weather, but no, not 1rose but 2 roses on my bush. 3.still haven't cluttered up my kitchen since doing it last week. feels great to walk in and see it tidy. 4.make that 4 roses on the bush,just been out to hang the washing out and saw the 2 new roses.

just saw my daughter's scan of pickle no 3 . a very happy nanny. very happy.

1.the new freezer is in place. the kitchen is looking good, had a very big clear up session. 2.had coffee with my mother ,i haven't seen her for a while. she is looking good.. 3.had a good day yesterday took grand daughter out and she had a very good time in the adventure playground and sand pit. had loads of laughs with her.  mimics her mum very well in whats she says.

1.got a new freezer. i really did not want a new one, but i was told i needed one. my old one has not been working for so long , that i have managed without one. a new fridge would of been my no 1 priority . 2. the next thing my other half said"i have ordered a fridge"that is fine with me as my fridge is so old , to be honest i don't know how old it is ,at a guess at least 25 years . 3. finishing work today for a 2 week break. we are closing for a short holiday. as much as i enjoy my work, i do need the break.

1.enjoying the thunderstorms.i know that lighting can be so dangerous, but it is so beautiful,especially at night.and this comes from someone who use to hate storms when she was younger.i know that there are some people who hates storms, my daughter for one.so a big hug to you all. 2.nearly finished my shawl. hadn't done much crocheting due to the hot weather and other things. 3.my grand daughter wanted to see her grandad but was unable to as he had to go out , so she said that he had to sit on the bottom stair till he could next see her.
