Day 2

Now being an odd (some would say.... extremely odd!!) person with plumbing in the house, challenges... it's difficult to remember to blog the TIAS here!  So... here's days 1, 2 and 3!!

The tatty individual that runs the TIAS thinks I'm odd... she's right! I may just get this published as the next one comes out.. the weather outside is 'orrible... we've had rain, rain, and more rain since early December... odd days when it's dry and then it's freezing! Not good for floor tile laying near the back door!! Yesterday we lifted some that were put down a few days ago because the adhesive refuses to set and seal! We had to clean both the tiles AND the floor!! Door had to be open and it was snowing! Later it was raining so now we have wet, slush! Revolting!! Think I'll hibernate with knitting or crochet or tatting!!

Today we sealed the floor with glue and we're now waiting for it to dry! We've had to buy a gas bottle for the heater to dry the floors!  Now to tat, crochet or knit.... lazier time methinks!!

Anyway... any thoughts on what the TIAS is this time.?

Chat soon 

A bag full of...

Tea!!

Those of you that read Jane's blog will have a slight inkling about this...

Last Friday we took MIL out for fast food lunch... chicken place...

Now you get the chicken, chips, beans, coleslaw... she (and I) don't particularly like fizzy drinks, so she got weak, milky, cool, sweet tea... me? Black coffee! Paid extra for them!

Ate the food, and showed her how far I'd got with that monster doily that hid from me earlier in the year! Well, that and 2 Rachel mats were in my bag in the tatting bags from Thursday when I'd been working on them.

Put them back in handbag... MIL picked up her tea, dropped it and it tipped.... over me and into the handbag! Tatting has survived thanks to helpful staff and fast reaction by yours truly! Bags now in washer and tatting is dry! 

MIL? she didn't remember 2 minutes later! Yes she's ok, my clothes are in the washer too! She's where she belongs- at her home!!

I'd show you but I was too busy getting tea out to get pics, and it's splashed my phone as well!!

Where had the doily been? I'd sorted the cupboard with clothes in, winter jumpers forward and summer tops back... the bag with the doily decided to masquerade as a winter jumper! Hid there till after Tenerife! Then, of course we have the water issue... least the loo and the shower work now.  We've also just laid 3 rows of floor tiles in the hallway, so we have to keep off them for a short while. That should be fun trying to get out tonight!!

So... I'll chat soon, and send pics... promise!
