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

Sunday 12th April

Week three

Easter day

Beginning to wonder....... 

will 2020 be referred to or remembered as the year the 

world forgot
but it won't be forgotten for all the wrong reasons

or
the year 

everything was cancelled!

Because we are social distancing been looking a lot on social media, Instagram

I saw this saying and seems very appropriate at the moment

"Bloom where you are planted"

What have you been doing this week...............?

I have a friend who went on the Extinction Rebellion march so I knitted her a

Greta Thonburg doll

The Three cornered leek

Simone and Julie  look for the flower and feel the stalk it is triangular.

I don't have an Easter Egg but I do have a chocolate Santa so I will eat that!

The wall I passed the other day

A week later............  

how things change........

It's the same wall!

I am going to have a quiet day today, watching films and eating chocolate, knitting or sewing
I suppose I better go and watch this as my son was the SFX Producer.
My son also has a credit on the Fantastic Beasts - Crimes of Grindelwald
