Haiku Monday (actually on Monday..)

Rain falling lightly
Clouds descend enveloping
Swimming through the mud

Scotland

Harbour, frost, me and Ck and Stealth in no particular order... x

Hey,hey,hey

Hey, I'm back!! Although I missed Haiku Monday - again.... Happy New Year to you all!
Our trip up to Scotland for Hogmany was lovely, marred only by the untimely arrival of psycho sister in law. No, truly she is psycho, I have never known anyone like her - she made her husband (Carnelian Dude's brother) drive all the way up north after a 2000 mile driving trip to the alps 2 days before all because she couldn't stand the thoughts of us having a family get together with her not there. Her exploits are many.... too many to document infact, unless you were a social worker or some sort of prison worker! She managed to split the family up for about a year or so by spreading vile lies through the grape vine and now resorts to petty weird things like pretending they can't find one of the kids hats as they are leaving only for me to find it under a cushion when we get back inside - what's wrong with that you ask?? Firstly Carnelian dude checked under all the cushions and secondly she just so happened to "forget" her coat and have to nip back in while we were all stood outside freezing out nips and nads off... Then hey presto the hat appears. She is a psycho schemer. Nuff said.




C.Dudes family live in a very rural area so it was just beautiful with a really hard frost making everything glisten snowy white.


New Years Eve was wonderful & I kid you not we had a BBQ outside when the temperature was around minus three degrees c.




The company was wonderful (apart from psycho bitch) and Likkle ol' me didn't go to bed til 5am on New Yrs day ( which is unusual as I loves me bed!) Not bladdered I might add, even though everyone else was!

Ah, Scotland the brave! We love ya!

Yee ha!!!

It's finally here- Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, joyous greetings to your midwinter festival!!!
I hope you all have a wonderful time sharing space, time and love with your loved ones.

Haiku Monday 'n stuff

The Solstice morning
Sun arose late from darkness
Deep midwinter light




So, newness??? CK had some colour in her hair, it looks like an electric turquoise yet should've been vivid blue. Reason why - having lovely black asian hair, the bleaching process just wouldn't take. So instead of a white blonde all ready to dye it was a nice yellow blonde. Blue dye on yellow blonde = turquoisey colour.





Friday night was show night for CK and Stealth, I went along to watch and as usual it was awesome. They have a wonderful youth theatre and always work really hard on any productions they do. It was a montage of lots of dancing and show tunes... Fame, Me and my girl, Les Mis to name but a few. As carnelian dude was at work I had to go alone and felt really nobby no mates as there were only 3 seats left empty in the auditorium and yes - they were next to little ol' lonesome me..at the interval I could almost feel a panic attack descending so with quick thinking and a pocket full of change I went to the bar and downed a bottle of cider and hey presto - panic attack averted!!! Not something I'd normally do, self medicate with alcohol but last thing I needed surrounded by 300 people was to dissolve into a gibbering wreck! lol.

Saturday night we went out for an indian meal with the adults from the martial arts club that CK goes to. No comment except interesting. As there were a lot parents there it was just like being in the playground at school with lots of cliques - I cannot abide playground mums with their keeping up with the jones' attitudes and bitchiness.


And now Christmas week is here. Gifts are wrapped, turkey is bought and I have a little twinkle in my eye that probably means trifle...

Love, light and peace guys, love light and peace. xx

Stealth and the pirate

Here is a picture of Stealth and the Pirate dog. She is a proper pirate, what with the pillaging and general rudeness associated with most pirates. She is cute but drives me to distraction and I cannot wait til New Year when her and our other pooch are off to stay in kennels for a week while we traipse about visiting ungrateful people who we/ they don't want to see....
Families- who'd have 'em.



Sooo not my house....
Yule/Christmas shopping is done and things are wrapped, which is always a plus considering I am mostly intellectually challenged at this time of year. Bring it on I say - at least my bloke might make an appearance - and no, he's not Father Christmas, he works for a global distribution company, so we wave good bye to him on 1st of Dec and expect him home sometime on Christmas eve. Hang on a minute.... maybe he is Santa!!! Indian Santa...

Haiku Monday, a day late....

Magic in my house
Does not sap my energy
Calm and feeling safe
