I've been doing quite a bit of shopping recently, big and little. I've been spending too long on e-bay treasure hunting but have found a new passion...old Tuck postcards. There is something about their cute, peachy,cherubic faces and the lovely colours that make me never want to stop gazing at them. It's not just angels I like as the old Christmas postcards are just as beautiful but I have them hidden away until I decorate the house. Whilst I was hunting I came across these..
..they are cigarette cards and are very cheap to buy. There are various 'collections' but the floral ones are obviously my favourite. Even the print on the back is beautiful! I have these dotted around the house, in my printers' trays etc, and the rest I keep held together with a sparkly clip earring.
Now, on to family news..
Alfie. Well yes!
I walked into the kitchen and happened to glance to my left - he had somehow managed to jump onto our shelf..nearly knocking off my mugs in the process! His tummy was better for 2 days..but this afternoon it started all over again and I have just come back from the vet. This time I have to keep him longer on the boiled chicken..sigh..when will it ever end I wonder!? He and Posy are very sweet together. He runs and chases her, wanting to play, but she rarely joins in preferring to watch in a more lady-like fashion.
Today Anth got reading glasses!! It's official - he is turning into an old man. I can see the odd grey hair too..he might agree to a photo of himself in his new glasses so watch this space! Alice auditioned for a part in Grease for her school..we are still waiting to hear if she was successful. Lucy is stressing over her coursework..her Grammar school really does work them hard and some of the work she is doing at 14 is stuff that 18 year olds do. It is all beyond me! Tom is also finding the work at sixth form harder so getting a slot on the computer these days is quite hard!
Thank you for all those lovely comments about my cushions - I appreciate the time and effort it takes to leave comments and I love reading them (more than once if truth be known!)
