He fixed it, but it is only temporary. (I think he stuck a toothpick in it or something) It is also making the most ungodly noise, (I think it is the toothpick) so I feel I am typing this, while perched in a flying World War Two plane. In battle. That's wHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE!! Sorry, I keep yelling over the noise.
Well, because the computer was on the brink, I once again found time for other activities, which was super, so it wasn't all bad. I did miss you though. But only you, don't tell anyone else.
I got stuck into the last of my gardening. Well, when I say gardening, I mean lots of pots on a windowsill.And I have to do it on the kitchen floor tastefully covered with a bin liner.
Pure class. It was either water or garden when we moved and the water won.I have no more seeds left expect pumpkin seeds and I just can not get a pot big enough. I do not think it would be fair on the seeds actual potential, you know? Like if I tried to grow one in a pot and it was only small I would always blame the pots. In the case of what have I planted so far, I am not quite sure, I am a terrible one for planting some seeds and not labelling things. But some lovely flowers they have been producing!
I like to garden by the rule of the moon, and it seems like the right time.
Isn't she lovely?
I have also been getting back to my camera. I started taking wee photos with my glass ball
and experimenting with some themes
When I thought these next ones could be used to my advantage. If I got them blown up and lamented, I could use these for flash cards to communicate with Big fella while the World cup is on as he is referring to grunts, eyes beadily staring at the football on the telly. Sad. This one below would indicate that I predict that it is his turn to make a cup of tea.
But of course the option for him is to answer me with this, indicating that "I predict that you know where the kitchen is" flash card.
I might not laminate that one.I having also been reading some books!
while looking through the window of the house in the clouds.
I have also noticed that my blog seems to be all muddled up, my "third column" as I so proudly set up one time has been messed up by my fair hand no doubt so I will have to try and sort that out. Might actually give Big fellas wee mate a ring. Now, I got to go play catch up with you, thank you for your patience, speak to you soon! All the best!

Hello out there, can anybody hear me??????
Hello everybody, hope this post finds you well! I am so sorry for my lack of posting, once again technology and I are at war. This computer is knackered and has proceeded to switch itself off in 20 minute intervals and with such precise timing, such as blogging, you would swear it was doing it on purpose. So this is very quick, just to say sorry for not being in the blogsphere and coming to yours for a visit to see how you all are, but I am thinking of you and I am in the process of booking some time off just to read all the back log! I will be back very soon! Ta Ra! (Sorry to leave so soon, I am worried the computer will go on the blink again!)

Wish Cast Wednesday
What do you wish to leap into?
This is the wish cast Jamie weaved for us today.Well, as some of you know I have started a journey into thirty list of thirty things to do while I am thirty.( OMG how many times did I just type thirty?! Again!)
So I wish to leap right into that. Having completed No. 15: Sleeping under the stars, which was a absolute delight, I wanted to continue on my quest, as with all starts to a new month I fail to remember it. I will still think it is May until the 22nd and be one of those people who annoy you by repeatedly say "I cant believe it is June already!" Time is flying by and this does not help matters for me.
It was actually camping that brought me to my next challenge, No.27: Looking after a caterpillar and watch as it turns into a butterfly. On the last day of camping, just before we left I took a quick pit stop to the ladies and on the tile floor was this guy:
Munch.That's his name you see, it suits him I think. After doing some extensive research (google) it would seem I have to be very wary of this wee fella as although he is rather cute and furry, his furriness can cause bad problems with humans. So I am all gloved up and being very cautious around him.
He will either be a moth or butterfly but either way, I hope all goes well and I hope I am taking care of him properly. Another thing I put on my list was snake handling. (what was I thinking?) I am very frightening of snakes but it was a true thing to put on my list, so it stays. Not all fun and games, this list you know!
I did have a look into it, but to no avail, so I was going to swap it for Shark diving for charity instead. (I know, I know, I am a walking contradiction.)
I am definitely going to do the charity shark dive at some point though, I will give you more updates as I receive them! Anyway, back to the snake thing. I had hit a dead end with it, when today I got a picture message on my phone from a dear friend with her brand new pet, a 17 ft Boa constrictor! Very muted yay. I was kinda hoping for a corn snake for my snake encounter, But I started this list and life just seems helping me along nicely ,it would seem. Myself and Mr constrictor, (ohh what a apt name!) are meeting in the very near future. Ekkkk!
Oh, before I go, I want you to meet our new housemates the house martins. These flock of wee birds have chosen to build their mud nests just by the window,just above our heads and under the rafters.
and who could blame them? Look at this wonderous view unfolding before us this morning.
It was so perfectly still and peaceful, with only birdsong to fill the air.
But beware, never get on the wrong side of these birdies,
they know exactly where to aim.
Toodle pip!

Happy Camper
Hello campers! How are we all? Thank you for coming to visit me, so happy to know you are here! I am back from the great outdoors adventure! I have officially started my journey in thirty List. 15. Sleeping under the Stars: Completed! Yay! May I say, it was just the most amazing time ever! Last Thursday, Big fella and I got up at the crack of noon and bundled everything into the back of the car and scooted off to our destination which I knew was somewhere in Wales but little else. After about two hours lovely driving through lush Welsh mountains and spectacular views, we arrived at our destination.
The sea.
It was the most wonderful campsite ever! It was situated on a cliff face and below it, the sea and behind a fierce growling mountains with sheep, horses and cows all perched nicely on it.There was also a railway line and occasionally a train would go whizzing by.
This was our view each morning from inside the tent.
The beach below us was filled with pebbles
and seaweed, trinkets and treasures such as the mermaids chair,
or perhaps a message in a bottle getting washed up on shore.
Good friends of ours who live nearby, came up with their beautiful children for the first couple of days and it was just idyllic, basking in the sun with the sound of laughter, love and some tall tales wafting through to the airy night.
When it was the twilight hour, we would build a camp fire
and set off paper lanterns
with wishes written on them,
floating them away to the stars.Up, up and away.
The only time we spent indoors were to go into a shop for some ice cream! Oh, I have to show you this, it made my heart smile. We were walking through the quaint wee village situated nearby and I saw this wee sign on a shop window.
Aww, sweet! No honeymoon though?
Big fella and I had a wonderful time and we are going to go again in August for the meteor shower!
The sky was so full of stars at night I spent hours just lying down gazing at them. I would happily live like this.
It was wonderful.
But of course it is bang back to reality. I can not seem to get out of doing nothin mode. I just about wrote this! I will have to go for a good run after this and shake myself up a bit. I have so much more to tell you and so many of you to visit I do not know how to get it all done! I have a major awards thanks backlog which I am ashamed to say, I have not gotten round to. Some of you I did not even thank! Shocking I know, so I thank you ever so much if I was honoured with a award by you, I really appreciate it and I will do a shout out soon! Thanks again! I will hopefully pop by soon to see you all! Oh, before I go, look what appeared in my coffee that big fella made for me this morning.
Can this man do no wrong?
All the best now and cheerio!
