Feeling Quiet
"I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG"
HE-HE HE GOODBYE DECKCHAIR!!!
GOOD GRIEF WHAT A PERFORMANCE INSERTING PICS I HAVE HAD.
I'M SORRY IT'S TAKEN SO LONG TO SHOW YOU ONE OR TWO SNAPS WHAT IV'E DONE.
LIKE THE DRAPES I TOLD YOU I WAS MAKING COR BLIMEY THEY WEIGHED A TON.
I HAVE TAKEN LOTS OF PICTURES BUT I CANNOT GET THEM HOW I LIKE.
SO AFTER TODAY IF NOTHING CHANGES PHOTOBOX CAN GET ON IT'S BIKE HE-HE.
YESTERDAY I WENT AND BOUGHT CUSHIONS AS I SIMPLY COULDN'T FIND.
THE ENERGY TO MAKE MY OWN JUST NOW BUT I SHALL DO ALL IN GOOD TIME.
HERES A FEW PICTURES OF MY TINY ROOM YES I TOLD YOU IT IS PRETTY SMALL.
BUT KNOWONE TO PLEASE ONLY MYSELF SO I DON'T NEED A MANSION AT ALL.
IT'S LESS TO CLEAN AND LESS TO FURNISH AND LESS TO POLISH AND DUST.
AT MY AGE I THINK IT'S PRIORITY LESS SPACE TO ME IS A MUST.
IV'E THINGS STILL TO PURCHASE TO FILL IT UP BUT FOR NOW I JUST TOOK A FEW SNAPS.
TO GIVE YOU AN IDEA OF WHAT IV'E BEEN UP TO YES ME OLD LAUGHING KATH.
HERE IS THE DOORWAY INTO MY KITCHEN AND ON THE RIGHT DO YOU SEE.
ANOTHER DOOR WELL THAT WAS A STOREROOM BUT NOW MY POOTER ROOM. HE-HE.
WHEN NOT IN USE IT SHUTS AWAY SO KNOWONE CAN SEE THAT I OWN.
A COMPUTER IF STRANGERS LOOKED THROUGH THE WINDOW AT ALL WHEN I'M NOT AT HOME.
IT'S MY LITTLE NEST I CALL IT IN THERE I INSTALLED A LAMP IN THERE TOO.
BY MAKING A SMALL HOLE THROUGH THE WALL WITH A SCREWDRIVER TO THREAD THE WIRES THROUGH.
I INSERTED A TUBE OF PLASTIC TO RUN THE WIRE THROUGH AS WELL.
TO MAKE IT LOOK NEAT IT'S A PLASTERBOARD WALL AS WHEN I KNOCKED I COULD TELL.
WELL INSIDE MY KITCHEN DOOR YOU CAN SEE MY LITTLE BOY WHICH I PUT .
IN THE GARDEN IN SUMMERTIME BUT FOR NOW HE'S INSIDE WITH MY DOOR SHUT.
IV'E RE-STAINED THE DOORS AND SKIRTING BOARDS AND PAINTED ALL THE WALLS.
AND THESE ARE MY CURTAINS I MADE CAN YOU SEE THEM I DECIDED NO TIE BACKS AT ALL.
I BOUGHT A COUPLE OF SWAG RINGS DRAPED THE CURTAINS OVER THEM.
THEN LOOSLY HUNG SOME SHADES OF RIBBON IN WARM COLOURS THIS MOTHERHEN.
I FIND THESE EASIER THAN TIE BACKS AND I THINK THEY LOOK NEAT DON'T YOU.
DON'T I FUSS AND WHEN I GET IDEAS I DON'T HALF MAKE A TA DO . HE-HE.
WHEN THIS MOTHERHEN GETS GOING AND PLANS TO DO THINGS HERSELF.
NOTHINGI LET STAND IN MY WAY I'M NOW MAKING A DECORATIVE SHELF.
FOR OVER THE GAS FIRE ON THE FRONT WALL AS I'D LIKE A NEW ONE OF THEM.
BUT THERES MORE IMPORTANT THINGS I NEED FIRST THAN A NEW GAS FIRE AMEN.
YOU WILL SEE ON ONE PICTURE THE STAIRCASE LEADING DOWN INTO MY TINY ROOM.
THE MIRROR I SPRAYED GOLD AND LEADED MYSELF I'LL GET THERE I'M SURE QUITE SOON.
CAN YOU SEE THE SMALL WINDOW AT THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE THATS THERE.
WELL THATS THE VENETIAN BLIND I FITTED MYSELF SO KNOWONE CAN STARE.
IN AT ME FROM OUTSIDE WHEN I'M SNORING ON MY SETTEE HAVING NAPS. HE-HE.
OR IF I FALL ASLEEP IN THE EVENING WHEN IV'E DRANK MY YUMMY NIGHTCAP. HE-HE.
THE CURTAINS HAVE A SELF PATTERN OF A TINY EMBROIDERY SQUARE.
BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW UP MUCH ON THE PICTURE IT MIGHT BE THE LIGHT SHINING THERE.
NOW FOR THE LITTLE SETTEE WHICH I BOUGHT I DIDN'T WANT IT IN CREAM.
I THOUGHT THE MINK COLOUR MORE PRACTICAL AS EASIER TO ME TO KEEP CLEAN.
NOTHING ELABORATE AS I SAID BUT IT'S COMFY AND PAID FOR SO WHY.
SHOULD I WORRY WHO DOESN'T LIKE IT AT LEAST I AM GIVING THINGS A TRY.
IV'E WORKED REALY HARD THIS LAST FEW WEEKS AS YOU KNOW SUCH A LOT TO DO.
STARTING FROM SCRATCH ISN'T EASY AND HAVING TO BUY ALL THINGS NEW.
HERE ON THE WALL FOR NOW IS A PICTURE I BOUGHT YEARS AGO IT'S NAMED.
BEARVOYANT AS MOTHERHEN CAN TELL FORTUNES AND LOVES TEDDIES AND I LOVED THE FRAME.
IT'S WALNUT BUT LATER THIS PICTURE WILL GO UP ON THE LANDING ABOVE.
UNTIL MOTHERHEN SEES ANOTHER PAINTING FOR MY LOUNGE YES ONE WHICH I LOVE.
I'M STAINING THE GLASS DOORS THIS WEEK MY FRIENDS SO BUSY AGAIN AM I.
ALSO TRYING TO DO COMMENTS AS WELL AND POSTINGS I'M GIVING A TRY.
IF I HAVN'T GOT AROUND TO YOU YET PLEASE HAVE PACIENCE I'LL GET THERE EVENTUALLY.
LAUGHING KATH DOESN'T GIVE IN EASILY AS YOU WILL CERTAINLY SEE.
I'M ALSO TRYING TO SORT PHOTOBUCKET IT'S BEEN A PAIN OF LATE.
TODAY AOL PICTURES WERE HAVING NOTHING AND PHOTOBUCKETS NOT TOO GREAT.
UP ON THE DELPH RACK IV'E PLACED MY PLATES OF THE "CHILDREN OF THE WEEK".
I CANNOT GET USED TO THEM BEING UP THERE THOUGH WHEN I TURN MY CHEEK.
STILL THERE OUT OF THE WAY AND MY DAUGHTER THINKS THEY LOOK GOOD ON THE RACK.
HERE ARE THE VALANCES WAITING TO BE HUNG WHEN FINISHED BY LAUGHING KATH.
I WAS GOING TO PUT THEM ON DOUBLE TRACKS BUT THEN I DECIDED NO.
IT WAS EASIER TO JUST THREAD THEM ONTO THE POLE AND EASIER TO LIFT DOWN SO.
FINALLY I THOUGHT I'D HAVE TO SHOW YOU THE FAMOUS OLD DECK CHAIR.
WHICH MOTHERHEN SAT ON FOR ONE MONTH NO I DIDN'T EVEN HAVE A PAIR. HE-HE.
I COVERED IT WITH A DUVET AND THEN DRAPED THE CLOTH ON TOP.
WASN'T I HAPPY WHEN I GOT MY SETTEE IF BEEN WOOD I'D HAVE CHOPPED UP THE LOT.
HE-HE I'D HAVE GIVEN IT SOME REALY HARD CRACKS WITH MY HATCHET I'M PRETTY SURE.
NO KIDDING I WOULD HAVE GLADLY THROWN IT THEN STRAIGHT OUT THE FLIPPING DOOR. HE-HE.
MY BACK USED TO ACHE AT THE END OF THE DAY AND MY BACKSIDE WAS ALWAYS NUMB.
AM I MAD I KEPT SAYING TO MYSELF EACH DAY OR JUST STUPID AND SILLY AND DUMB. HE-HE.
BUT IT WAS MY CHOISE TO COME AS YOU KNOW SO SUFFER A WHILE THAT I DID.
IN THE OLDEN DAYS WE HAD VERY LITTLE SOMETIMES NOT EVEN A QUID.
SO IV'E BEEN THERE BEFORE AND I CAN TAKE IT THE BAD WITH THE GOOD THAT'S ME.
EVERYONE CAN HAVE THERE LUXURIES BEING HAPPY 'S THE MAIN THING WITH ME.
I NEVER HAD MUCH AS A GIRL MY FRIENDS SO THIS WOMAN IS BACK IN THAT CLASS.
BUT I AM HAPPY NOW BEING BACK HERE BORN AND BRED AS A WEST YORKSHIRE LASS.
LIKE I SAID I WILL GET THERE I KNOW I WILL I HAVE ALL THE PACIENCE AND TIME.
SO FOR NOW BYE BYE AGAIN ALL MY FRIENDS FROM KATH AND
" MY SIMPLE RHYMES".
