My Dad the hero!

Not a very exciting weekend for me but my dad found a young girl and boy wondering alone, bare foot and in their night clothes. I don't know the full story yet apart from he gave the police a 3 page statement and was told if the case goes to court he may be called as a witness. Gonna buy him a nice cool beer or 2 when were next out cos I deffo think he deserves it :o)

Crying at a bus stop (Part 2*)

Just had a text message from a relative asking if I was OK as she saw me crying at a bus stop yesterday...

1. I wasn't crying, I was warm and 'glowing' so I was just wiping my face
2. She saw me 'crying' at 5pm yesterday and she only text now to see if I am OK
3. Why didn't she come up to me yest to find out what was wrong and if she could help?

I guess thats why they say 'Friends are the family you choose for your self....'

* Not put part 1 in to words yet

Feck! How slack am I???

I was watching Emmerdale tonight with Mr Maisie, dad & Irene when Mr M said 'Where do we know him from, he looks familiar?' talking about Declan's dad Dermot. Irene piped up 'Father Ted' and me and Mr M both had a jaw dropping moment and then a chorus of 'it is, it's Father Jack!' How I had not spotted that before I have no idea but I do know I prefer him in Father Ted, DRINK!

One - Nil to the birthday girl, Feck!!!!!!

Happy Birthday Irene!

Today is my friend Irene's birthday. We had a lovely tea at a local pub with just a little tipple of alcohol (Irene doesn't drink very much at all but I will soon get her round to my way of thinking lol) While we were waiting for our food to arrive totally embarrassed her by singing happy birthday (why do we all get embarrassed by people singing happy birthday to us??) but she soon came round when she opened her presents!

Irene's fave flowers are poppies so a poppy birthday card I had to make!

This is a kilner jar I decorated and filled with her fave sweets, jelly babies!
(Yes a few did escape)

A little box made by my own fair hands containing a small silver poppy charm.

She loved her gifts and the birthday cake I had waiting for her when we arrived back home went down a treat too! So happy birthday Irene, I hope you have a lovely day :o) xx
