Here's my UP:  This post reminded me I've got a bottle left from last year in the back of the liquor cabinet!  Woo hoo!!

My nine year old and his team winning their first soccer game of the season. Yay! They were so excited 

Yay! They were so excited 

I LOVE children's excitement.. good for them..

having my GF call  for a belated birthday wish and not realizing just how much I needed  a shoulder to cry on..  It was  a huge relief..went to bed exhausted..

So, share the recipe w/the class then! 

Um .... she did tell me the recipe, but I was slightly inebriated so don't exactly remember it. 

I'll ask her again sometime this weekend and write it down. As I recall, it wasn't difficult -- just a bunch of different liquors mixed together. I thought you had to mix up herbs and let them sit for weeks, but she didn't do that. Maybe hers was the shortcut version? Either way, it was lovely!

being inebriated and finding POP TARTS

Animals!   In the 1 hour between 5am and 6am this morning, i saw the following animals:

my dog
my neighbour's horrible bully of a cat
2 mallard ducks sitting on my front lawn
2 oyster catchers and their eggs... they'll be hatching soon!
1 dove
1 big fat wood pigeon
2 jackdaws
1 badger (dead)  :\\\'(
a field of cows
1 Highland cow (the ones with long hair & big horns)
a field of sheep w babies


 

I think one of the most beautiful sights is Highland cattle when they leap and skip on the fields.  Love that fringe, too.

Sunshine again! Starting to feel spoiled with all this lovely sunshine everyday this week but I love it!!!

WOW!  That is so cool!  I would be so happy if ducks were on my lawn!!  (ooo, Id jump for joy if frogs were there too!)

sewing circles in the most oddest places:

I take 2 buses in my 2 hr journeys to work and I've been taking advantage of that time making my dress ..there have been two lovely freedom pass ladies on my journey giving me tips not to mention they have been bring me things to get my dress finished (hook and eyes , interfacing , piping cord) I've got the hem to do but I've got it done ...today I found a cute sequin shrug that matches so I'm chuffed
