Diary of an (old) pampered pooch!

8.00am - still in bed, cuddled up with blankee...

9.00am inside, on duty, protecting red cushions

10.00am Front door patrol

11.00am lamenting my unmade bed

12 noon patrolling at back door

1pm back to keep blankee company

2pm back in side, green cushions to protect

2.25pm oops, nodded off, protecting green cushions

3pm back to her best, this time noting my now made bed

4.00pm, will they be home soon?

5pm no one understands the trials I endure!

On this day 10 years ago........


Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments.

Love is not love

Which alters when it alteration finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

O no! it is an ever-fixed mark

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)

Yep, 10 years ago we said "I do" and we have (so far) lived to tell the tale! There have been some great times and some not so good, but it is important to focus on the good stuff. Above is Shakespeare's Sonnet 116, one of our readings during the ceremony, and still a favourite of mine. The groom's not to bad either!

Yep! Another one!


So yes, DD2 had another birthday party to go to yesterday afternoon, so I made another pencil roll. I am getting rather quick at whipping these up. If only I had a supply of pencils and colouring books, I wouldn't need to leave home.





So to make up for the Mr Incredible fabric I went with a Ben 10 colouring book, think that shows that I am kinda up with the times. And yes this is another one! I used different ribbon last time. :) I am feeling more confident about Homemade gifts now. Thanks for your response.

Cross Country.....

She didn't come first. She didn't come last. She lined up, ran her best and FINISHED. Can't ask for more than that.
