Snow, da fu

So yesterday i climbed to the top of the siddlaws in the middle of a snow storm, i say storm, flurry, i dunno. 

but i think i have the cold. ugh. shop window has been changed.

planning lots of things, my head is sleepy, just wanted to chat but this seems super disjointed so i dont know. Lets keep the momentum going! 

Garlic

Why does garlic make everything taste better?
Smear it on a pizza...boom...done

flare obsession

So i aquired a bit of an obsession about flares, but not your little boot cut nonsense, i mean flare from the hip flares, will catch everything on the ground and soak up all the moisture you come in contact flares. I have searched forever to find a pattern that would fit my size 20 ass....so i tracked down this pattern on the wonderful ebay. but its for a size 12 if i am lucky, so it has been on my to do list to scale this pattern up for AGES now, and work on a twall! 

So just after a quick google i have found some sites that let you know how to grade up a pattern. just going to leave them here as my pinterest is cluttered as it is. Then end goal is something like the below photo. mmmm cosy chords for winter! END GAME!

Sleeping with the mutts

there is just something really conforting to have something so little (arth) snuggle into your belly and share his heat with you. They are so adorable, i like ossy when he lies at my back, they really help me relax and eventually fall asleep and i focus on their breating and how cosy they are. These dudes just make me so happy. Yes the bed is always gritty, and yes we had to upgrade to a super king size, but i dont care. people who dont let their dogs in the bed are missing out!

Swim swim swim

Met this little babe today. She is adorable, and quiet, soft and cosy. Doesn't make me want one....I want another puppy. Ha! Not anytime soon. 3 dogs...mental.
Swam 30lengths this eve...feeling good, my waterproof mp3 player kept me going limp bizkit break stuff is quite a good choon to swim to, unless you get caught singing....oops....sorry golden girls!
Right now food and knitting, will this shawl ever end? It's not that I hate it, I adore it but I want to cast on something new!!! Ahhhhh

Zzzz

Can't sleep, look at my dog!

DD1

Had a good business meeting with the  DD1 peeps. Seem like a good group. Met the owner of papa Joe's and the apex and McDonalds. Nice guys. The overgate marketing lady was super nice too!
Swam 31 lengths. Got all my bits done, then I slept till 7pm oops. Dunno what's wrong with me. OH bought me dominos. My aisling is taking forever to finish. However it is a huge shawl!

Bed time
Started flesh eye. Forgot how Mich I like reading.

And I'm done for the day

So i managed to clear the coal bunkers and clear all the glass from the path at the back, swept the access path and the close. Poop picking up another day!
Now we have a chippy and I do some knitting!

Project fix the stupid garden

So as I have mentioned before our back garden is a communal garden shared by three blocks of flats. It's a state. People just dint give a crap, it's literally full of dog poo and rubbish and stuff that people Chuck out their Windows. I'm sick of it!
Everyone at knit night is talking about working in their gardens, so I have decided to claim this awesome space as mine! And I will report all the dog poppers and shout at children and be a grumpy old woman!
I don't know if you can see but that mess in the corner next to the metal grate is away to be binned...thank God for Euro bins! If I have time I will pick up all the poo and rubbish, sweep the close and back path. OH is away to walk the mutts so I'm on my own :( but it's breezy and the washing is out.

Do you ever feel like there is so much to do, like I want to achieve so much, but I dont have the capacity to do it all!

Best stop moaning and get started!!
