Hi my Friends
I'm sorry it's been such a long time since my last blog. I'd like to say that I have been recovering from my knee replacement operation, but that too was cancelled again. I now have a date for the 23rd June, I've had my pre op assessment already and have a blood test on the 16th June and maybe the op on the following Thursday, but I'm not holding my breath. So I have been feeling a bit low and in a lot of pain, hence no cards, but I gave myself a good talking to and made two cards. One for my brother-in-law and one for my friend up north We always try to get up to Yorkshire to celebrate our friend's birthday but with the pandemic and isolating because of my operation we won't be seeing her again until later this year, knee permitting. Anyway enough of that, how are you all?
We are at the moment recovering from dog & cat sitting for Claire while they went on holiday with the outlaws! We collected them from Claire last Thursday when we looked after Phoenix as Claire had a day trip to a farm with her class. Then on Saturday Craig said could we have his dog Bentley over night as he had an early start for a bike ride around London as all the roads were going to be closed. So Saturday we had 3 dogs & 4 cats in the house. Our three cats have not ventured out of my work room. Figaro ( Claire's cat ) is no problem she was living in the dining room and was enjoying lots of attention. Half Pint has been stuck to me like glue as the other dogs are bigger than her, well anything is bigger than Half Pint, even the cats. The 2 boy dogs have been quite enthusiastic in their play together and have on occasions got quite excited and have peed on the rugs in the hall, so we went on line Sunday and bought a Vax carpet cleaner. Things have become a lot calmer now that Bentley has gone home. PHEW! what a weekend. Indiana Jones & Figaro went back home on Saturday and peace has reigned at Drakes Field once again. Having a manic weekend/ week it makes you realise just how quiet your own pets are. It was good been fun, don't get me wrong and I loved having them stay but I don't think we'll do all of them together again.and I can now get up in the morning without 2 more excitable dogs saying good morning. In a funny way I miss them.. My three cats are now enjoying the run of the house, so happy pets all round.
Here goes!
- Well that's all for now.
- The next card I need to make is for my sister-in-law for a special birthday, so thinking cap on. I don't envy Paul as I will be making this card post op and won't be able to climb the stairs so he will probably be running up & down stairs with things i have forgotten for her card. I must try and die cut and have the mat & layers, the sentiments, inserts & box ready so I can have that to work on when I get home.
