Righty-o then, Wednesday again, and the link to our lovely Julias is in the right hand sidebar. Actually, I'm doing this on Tuesday afternoon, and scheduling. Usually I do it late on Tuesday night, just before I go to bed.. However, tonight we are heading into Birmingham for the Carnival Of Madness tour, to see Shinedown, Halestorm and Black Stone Cherry, names that I'm sure mean absolutely nothing to most, if not all, of you. Lol. Anyway, that will mean getting home late, and possibly a little the worse for wear, so it's now or never. Well, you are here to see my desk, not my social calendar, so here it is:
A Core-dinations pad, and a set of Dyan Reavely word stamps. You can't actually call them sentiments, but there are some really funny ones there to add to cards. Well, funny to our British sense of humour anyway.
Not a lot happened with the UFO box, but I did concentrate on another couple of half made Christmas designs, and they are in the posts below this one.
Last week saw a couple of very strange coincidences, both featuring the same person. You may have seen on Zoe's blog(
CraftygasheadZo), that she had had a new tattoo, and the wording read:
She believed she could, so she did.
Well, the previous Saturday, Beloved Hubby took me up to Pink Tulip Crafts, near us, and I may have purchased a few items.(cough). One of them was an Impression Obsession stamp, pointed out by Beloved Hubby. Guess what it said?
How freaky was that? As if that was not enough, Zoe also posted on FB about buying a blender to increase her uptake of fruit & veg. By another freaky coincidence, she had bought exactly the same one that had arrived at ours from Amazon the day before! I too having decided it was the way to go, as due to my stoma, there are a number of things I'm advised not to eat, as they are hard to digest, and other veg that I can eat, but need to be boiled/steamed very soft such as broccoli/cauli stalks, but as we all know the longer they're cooked, the more goodness is lost. And because I truly loathe most fruit-(unless it is closely involved with alcohol) I seriously would not eat a banana/apple/orange unless my life depended on it, and even then the bananas doubtful. I can eat a kiwi-and I'm the only person I know who eats them with the skin on, but I can't eat the skin now- and will occasionally eat a pear, I like lemons & limes, used to like grapefruit but now they're banned due to Blood Pressure medication. One fruit I can actually say I like is Pineapple. It's a miracle if I eat 5 pieces of fruit a year,honestly. So blending & juicing may be the way forward. As long as there is no cucumber involved. They are right out! Well, I'll be seeing you all later, have a smashing Wednesday all.
One final pic, for those who didn't see it on FB on Monday.Doug happened to glance out of his window, and saw these. We thought at first it was the Northern Lights, but in fact it turned out to be something even rarer than that so far south (Midlands). They are
Polar stratospheric clouds or PSCs, also known as nacreous clouds, and are normally only seen in the Antarctic, and occasionally in the Arctic. In the Northern hemisphere, usually only massive mountain ranges cause the low temperatures in the stratosphere required for the formation of these clouds-below −78 °C (−108 °F). It was a truly incredible sight to see in the evening sky.
