Have been very lazy and not done any blogging at all.... think it is a protest to myself about being back at work, I just can't get out of the holiday mode.
Luckily work has been quite quiet so I have been easing myself in slowly. I did go and see some post natal mums today and had my fix of new gorgeous babies, so I am back in the zone now!!
GLASGOW SCHOOL OF ART
The house is beginning to empty out... Strange as it has been so busy this last year. Sam left for Glasgow about 10 days ago. He packed all his room into the back of the car and Ian and him set off one Friday evening. I got a call at 10pm to say the car had broken on the M6 . The AA couldn't start it and to cut a long story short the scrap man came yesterday to take it away for us. That's 2 cars in 2 weeks.... not bad! We are now driving a clapped out old golf which is also bound for the scrapman as soon as we get a new motor!! The bank balance is not looking so good!
Anyway Sam is up there now and feels miles off, he seems happy enough but obviously it will take some time to settle in. He was either drunk or hungover last week and now the course has started so not such a drunken week.
Becca is off on Friday to Leeds and then its just Charlie and Jo left. Charlie is trying to find some work to save for Australia trip so he is not around so much either. Poor Jo is just left with us....
We have some lodgers to fill the empty rooms next week and to fill the empty bank balance......
TREATS
Am really feeling in need of a pick-me -up (stupid really as just had 6 wks off) so have booked myself in for a massage as my shoulders are solid and a friend has just completed a massage course. Also going for my regular session of acupuncture which is also from a friend. I just love it and it really boosts my energy. I find it very helpful pre menstrually as it keeps me more rational....!!!!
KNITTING
Well the season is upon us to start in earnest and I am getting some requests already.... Have gone snood knitting mad and have several lined up in waiting. Also just finishing a pair of gloves for me ...It feels pretty cold first thing when I am out with the dogs at 7.30am. I have a LOT of wool to get thru so need to get those needles clacking. I am tempted to have another go with a patchwork blanket as Sam's came out soooo good!!

HOME FROM HOLIDAYS
HOME AGAIN....
What an adventure we have had.... Went on a camping holiday to Italy, the lakes which was fabulous, beautiful towns, great markets, clear blue water in the lakes, amazing light in Venice, lots of fun with the boys,wonderful food... I could go on but then..... the car blew up... yes actually had steam coming out of the bonnet and liquid bubbling out into the road, quite impressive really. Thank God for the AA as we basically rang up as if in UK and they sorted it, more or less..... The radiator was shot to bits and the garage couldn't be sure that it would work even with a new rad so we decided to ditch it..... Didn't think i was emotional about cars but I felt sad walking away and leaving it behind, poor old thing had done its best to get us all the way there and drive us around until the last 2 days but it died!!
1ST DAY HOME
As usual woke early thinking about how much washing I had to do so no lie in for me, also had a rotten headache as didn't have much of a chance to drink yesterday and was very dehydrated. Put some washing on , only to realise 3hrs later that I hadn't actually turned it on so didn't get as much done as I had hoped. Looking after a friend's 2 dogs so have 4 to walk , feed etc. 2 found a rotting carcass in the garden and rolled in it, the smell was unbelievable, I washed 1 dog twice,cleaned her teeth, still vile, later realised it was still on her collar, even after a good wash, that still smells, must say I am off dogs at the moment!!
Off to do a private ante natal class which is always an effort to leave but generally fine when i am there, very nice woman, so we had a good old natter and the fee goes into my envelope under the bed for my special treats.....
Haven't uploaded my photos yet but will do so shortly and stick a few up here.....
