Today

Today I celebrate how far I have travelled in this troubled year.

And I celebrate something else that I am not yet able to discuss.

At 8.30pm tonight I will celebrate with a drink and sayings "cheers" to me. Join me at the same time if you are able

Blogger comment moderation

I do not like the new blogger comment moderation!! I cannot read the letters! I tried three times to post a comment on someone's blog and have now given up as I got the letters wrong every time.

Just delete comments you don't like. I have not had comment moderation for a few years now and have had no problems (knock on wood)

An Award!

From Lainie

The Liebster Blog Award is meant for those blogs in Blog Land that have 200 or less followers. Liebster comes from German, meaning dearest or beloved but can also mean favourite. This award is such a wonderful way to show appreciation for those people who do beautiful work and inspire you but have a small following. As part of the tradition the award is passed along to five other blogs that have motivated and inspired you. To accept the award you must:

1. Link back to the person's blog who gave it to you and thank them.

2. Post the award on your blog.

3. Give the award to 5 bloggers (less than 200 followers) that you appreciate and value.

4. Leave a comment on the five blogs you chose to let them know.

Awarded to:

1. Jenny E (no not me!)

2. Shell

3. Katrina

4. Penny

5. Hilary

I could have chosen a lot more because these people all inspire me - crafty or otherwise!

More than a month later!

I feel like so much has happened yet so little

My eye op was a great success and I'm seeing better than I have for many, many years. The downside was I couldn't lift anything heavy for three weeks. Actually, the boys had to carry the groceries and the only time I was affected was I couldn't take much to scrapping two weeks ago!

Didn't matter though because I wasn't really in the right head space. I did two l/os neither of which have journalling yet. Maybe tomorrow when the weather bomb is set to hit

Both boys are enjoying school and coping well. My classes are settling down and I am enjoying most of them

It's my mom's birthday on Monday. We're going to SweetPea on Sunday and I have ordered flowers for Monday. She is struggling to settle but it's early days yet

And apart from that, not much activity in our house!
