Can't Think Of A Title!!

Well it never warmed up yesterday ... or brightened up.  And today looks like it's going to be a similar day.

I did end up having a short walk in the end, thoughm,, as my boss called me in, as I am going to be working full time for a short time starting next month.  Ali, who works afternoons/evenings is taking a year out.  She has become guardian for her cousin's daughter's child (the 15year old was date-raped, but didn't want an abortion).  The process has been going on for many months now ... but it's all coming together rapidly.  So until things get settled, or confirmed, I shall be covering her shifts, as well as the ones I already had booked.  As it's only for a shortish time I am looking forward to the pressure.  So I walked a slightly longer way round toget home.

A bit later today I shall go out as I want to pick up a few things from the supermarket, and again will walk the long way round to get there ... killing two birds with one stone!

Yesterday I did make some icons, as you can see.  They are for your_favourites, with a Valentine'd theme.  So we could pick 4 things we love.  I thought a more open theme would be easier, but it wasn't!!

So ....
I love classical music, especially by Beethoven, so this is the opening of his 5th symphony.
Cary Grant is a great actor, and I love most of his films. This comes from "Arsenic & Old Lace", which if you haven't seen, is a must.
What's not to like about the old Hollywood musicals? And Fred Astaire was a dancer beyond anyone else, wasn't he?
Then, look at my username ... yes, Spike is a great character, and despite his flaws, I still love him.

1.  2.  3.  4. 

I have a few more sets I am working on, as well.  Sometimes I get frustrated, as I said in my colourblindness post, but basically am glad to be stretched, as that is often the only way to learn.

Well, I still have the ironing from yesterday to do ... and the shopping to get, so had better get on.  As ever, thanking kazzy_cee for the questions -






18. Enzo Ferrari was born on this day in 1898. Have you ever driven or ridden in a Ferrari sports car?
No ... but if someone offers, I wouldn't say no!





Let's catch up with you all, now x

She has become guardian for her cousin's daughter's child

Wow, good for her... and you. That's a life changing experience and challenge all around.

She stepped up immediately. It has been a long legal process, which I think (& hope) means she knows exactly what she has taken on.

I know that the child will be sincerely loved & supported in the coming years

I love classical music too and opera. I am a huge fan of opera. Our slushy snow and ice has given way to colder weather again during the sunny day, but so far this is THE DRIEST winter we have ever had, with the least amount of snow. Oh yes I have ridden in a Ferrari...there was a man I dated briefly who had a red one, but he had an attitude to match and I can't justify spending that much money for a car.

I don't know much about opera, as I played in an orchestra, and although we did exerpts, we did work on longer symphonies, etc

Yes, I couldn't actually spend that much money on a car. After all it just gets you from a to b ... so does mine!

The day was like that here, too, and today is no better. I am sitting out in the conservatory at the minute as it is the only place in the house light enough to see without the lights on. This is not for economy reasons, as I have the heater on, but because it is so much kinder on my eyes :)

That poor young girl - but it does sound as if both her and her baby will have a strong, loving family around them.

You know, now I think about it, I don't think I have ever been in a sports car of any sort at all.

I have the light on here. I decided that working on a computer, I wanted more general light in the room. It's rare I need it here though.

I owned a coupe for a few years, and that was a nice car ... but it's a lot of money to commit if you go down the sports car route (even if you just think of the insurance!)
