1966 and all that.

Hello my little bloggerettes.

The weather has been awful today. Non stop rain. Poor little Billy did not get a walk, because I don't like rain and he doesn't either. So I have been entertaining myself. Making a lovely veggie stir fry, plus a pudding. Half a banana with a generous dollop of fresh cream. Then I had a soak and a scrub in the bath. 

I recorded a video this morning, to cheer myself up. You might like a little titter. 

Extracts from my diary. Memories of a skinny teenager. I was 16. I worked in a grocery store. I hadn't a clue about boyfriends. I lived with my mum. We had no hot running water and I washed my clothes in the kitchen sink, after heating the water on the top of the gas stove. I was into pop music and fashions. It was a simple life. We had nothing but we were happy.

I have almost finished the mandala, just got to sew the back on. It looks pretty chuffing fabulous. I'll take some photo's tomorrow. 

Now I am going to relax and watch some videos. James is near Barrow in Furness, Ruth is on a remote Scottish island learning how to knit, Liam and Janine are touring the US, Emily and Louise have left their cottage in Ireland and are now touring in the van once again.   

Thanks for popping in. Toodle pip.   ilona
