There was a queue of cold birds waiting for breakfast this morning. I'm glad to get back inside, and am now typing with frozen fingers. But there's some nice warm rain on the way for tomorrow.
Spent yesterday afternoon watching daytime TV. Some of the shopping channels had products I'd never been aware of. I was impressed by some fantasy images painted by one Josephine Wall...
The idea is that you buy these and similar images on sheets of paper (or print them out on a computer) and cut them up, and make things with them. It's called Decoupage. This is a decoupage sheet...
They also had decoupages for fantasy cottage garden designs, from different painters...
Junior Apprentice tonight. Tonight will be the penultimate episode, so expect a major bloodletting.
Good morning Dove, Gary, Jo, Pam and anyone else who's about.
I was up early this morning after a really good night's sleep, unusual for me.
That fanatasy picture is beautiful, will look at link in a mo. Very cold here this morning, cat refuses to go out, but who could blame her
Ironing planed this morning then visit to Mum, called on Tuesday to see her only to be told she was seeing Nativity play at local school with some of the other residents she's 99 and still gallavanting.

Morning forkers,

Catch you later.

Morning Dove, sorry didnt reply before, glad that you're improving. Daughter is also up & had a small breakfast & watching breakfast TV!
Gary- those pics very reminisant of 70s- that dates me!
Have rebooted pc, had oodles of updates installed etc & so far so good. Really brass monkeys out there today -4C!
Ooh, breakfast allowed now. J.
This is the one that really caught my eye, I think she is lovely
Morning all. Still cold here but not much frost.
Alarming to hear how well people are doing with their Christmas prep. I really ought to buy some cards...
Gary, nice, I may have to change my avatar again. Jo, I see exactly what you mean about 70s.
I always think decoupage must be more fun to do than to own. Like beautiful knitted toys that you can't play with. But that's just my opinion.
Geoff, choccy glitterball.
You could spend hours looking at them. Well it beats M&S!
Oh drat. normall tablets now before I forget......J.
Went to fairy pic website, first thing I noticed was errant apostrophe. Must be an Apostrophe Fairy somewhere about
See what you mean Flo
Jo, you've just reminded me to take my tablet.
Still to get upstairs! Daughter gone back to bed, plus bowl- just in case!
Have managed to deice the back gate lock, so could take fresh water & food for birds. WD40 now on lock which will keep 'twiddling' as the day goes on.
Right, really need to get my act together. No, I do not need to go looking for a new top for the w/end.......... J.
I typed 'apostrophe fairy' into a tax-avoiding search engine and, believe it or not, found this:
By the way, Dean is like a greengrocer, he has a dispensation to use them wherever he like's
And I promise I'll stop going on about it now.
