Am I a silly cow or what,I got Grubby to do some drilling for me last week,he went to move a nearby coat and I said no don't worry any dust will brush off.....Well it didn't so I foolishly put a full length waxed duster coat(Don't tell anyone but I have a cowboy hat too) through the machine on a cold wash thinking it would be OK.....I have just ordered a can of Barbour Thornproof Wax Dressing .Do you know what a long winded stinky job re-waxing a coat is?I had a jolly good chuckle today,maybe I am just not sporty enough,but can someone explain to me why whole troupes of people are strolling round the village in hiking boots with ski poles in their hands ? I live in East Anglia,you know the flatlands,g-d help us if some of them are actually practising for skiing,I am a big girl and some of those women dwarfed me.....I know, I know, they were Nordic walking,but it looks dead comical in 20c and in an area where a molehill is almost a mountain.
Well,we have a government,it wasn't an option on my ballot paper,but I will wait and see what 'toffs united' think they can do to heal the countries woes.
Oh and all the fuss over
I was wandering round the V and A website when I came across a fantastic quilt,go take a look Canals,coal and cotton.
Oh on the cityscape subject(well vaguely) did you know that the London underground is the habitat of a unique bitey mosquito ?
Sarah had a copy of the letter from the hospital about her scan, if you click on the piccy it should be readable,who would have thought a VSD(hole in the heart) could be a good thing.....so fingers crossed.
Sadly Cleo the cross dressing hen has gone to the great dust bath in the sky,but she was twelve,a damnably impressive age for a bantam .

Silly cow is a bit harsh! I have never re-waxed a coat - didn't even know people did such things!!
Sounds like hopeful news for the little one. :-)
The news about baby just keeps improving,so fingers and toes crossed.
ps,sometimes I really do feel like a daft old moo.......
I offered to move stuff ........ really I did !!!!
Anyway you've got a good curtain poley thing now, that you can hang from :)
A daft old moo doesn't sound half as bad and you won't feel so daft when I tell you that I once tried to put up a curtain pole, totally ignorant of lintels and stuff; no sooner had the drill hit the wall then I was tumbling off the ladder with the whirling drill in my hand! I swear I still have the bruises - now that's definitely the mad cow zone!!!
Whatever the outcome, one thing is for sure, the little lad has inherited both courage and determination from his mum and his nanny. xx
Oh and P.S. No, you don't want a nasty ciggy!!!
