Sunday 19th April


Week Four

Well how are you all dear readers?
What have you all been doing?

Bluebells as seen on a walk

I have been doing things but really not anything to show yet.
Any body else like me?
If I "Show 'n Tell" I tend not to finish what I am making....


My birthday cake.
Made by my friend Val's husband Mark.
I shared it with them

It was my birthday on Wednesday 15th April.  I had lots of lovely messages cards and gifts which arrived on time and cards and gifts which arrived late.  I don't mind gifts arriving late it just means my birthday lasts longer!
I still have cards and gifts to come............
I will show more next week

bag of lovely goodies from Denise
choccie biscuits from Jane B
handmade pillowcases from Jane C
My pretty flowers
Left to Right - Pink  Alstroemeria from Val and Mark. Roses from Robert and Anneka (Bloom and Wild), Lilies from Sarah (her blog is here) and yellow Alstroemeria from Marianne and Brian (my late husband's cousin) (Bloom and Wild)

Strange phenomena my pictures have all disappeared from my last two posts and boy did I struggle to do today's post.........
I haven't been on the computer for a few days hope it hasn't taken offence!

Busy Doin' Nothin'


La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

We're busy doin' nothin'


Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We're busy goin' nowhere

Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time

I have to watch the river


To see that it doesn't stop

And stick around the rosebuds

So they'll know when to pop

And keep the crickets cheerful
They're really a solemn bunch
Hustle, bustle
And only an hour for lunch

La-la-la-la-la-la


La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're busy doin' nothin'

Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We're busy goin' nowhere

Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
I have to wake the Sun up

He's liable to sleep all day

And then inspect the rainbows

So they'll be bright and gay

I must rehearse the songbirds
To see that they sing in key
Hustle, bustle
And never a moment free
We're busy doin' nothin'

Workin' the whole day through

Tryin' to find lots of things not to do

We're busy going nowhere

Isn't it just a crime
We'd like to be unhappy, but
We never do have the time
I have to meet a turtle

I'm teachin' him how to swim

Then I have to shine the dewdrops

You know they're looking rather dim

I told my friend, the robin
I'd buy him a brand new vest
Hustle, bustle
We never do have
We never do have
We never do, never do
Never do, never do, never do have the time
Never do have the time



From the film 
The Court Jester ~ circa 1956

  1. Belated Birthday wishes, Julie. You've done well with your cards and gifts, mine usually gets forgotten :D
    One or two blogs I read yesterday had photographs which weren't showing. I wonder if there's a gremlin in the blogger works? X

  5. I'm sorry I missed your Birthday Julie. I've been busy doing nothing! I am glad that you got some cards and gifts and a lovely cake too! My Birthday was a non-event! I've heard a few people saying that their blogger photos went missing. Hopefully they will come back. x
