What?.....

I've spent the past seven days with my right ear completely blocked.  I have a cold too and as my mum had the same thing the week before and hers cleared as her cold did, then I haven't yet gone to the docs.  My cold is still here along with my blocked, buzzing ear so I am giving it the weekend and then going to have to go and pay a visit to Mr Doctor.

Even if I hold the phone right close to my right ear, I can only just about hear them.  One of my most common words this past week has been 'What?', as in 'pardon, what did you say?  Can you repeat yourself as I am ever so slightly deaf in the one ear'.

Anyway, I'm not after sympathy as on the scale of things I am OK :-)  Not got any crafting done this week, infact not got much of anything done.  Darren was home all week and decorated the bathroom and the dining room which now look gleaming after a spot of fresh paint.  He was on about doing the kitchen next week too.  The need for Spring cleaning affects even the male species, lol !

I have to get and craft plenty this weekend though as I have CJ's to do and a DT package arrived at the beginning of the week.  Recipe cards to do too.  Oooh, a bit off tangent here, but isn't it nice to see some sun!  Its been so dark and dismal this past week and raining loads, but the sun is streaming through the window at the moment and it does lift the spirits, doesn't it.  Sooooo looking forward to the spring and warmer weather now.

This is a pic I took from my desk window.   Cheeky little squirrel hanging on the gate up the garden on his way to next doors elaborate bird feeder. You can just about see him bringing attention to the fact that a slat on the gate is loose.  He was actually making that swing so he could give himself extra leverage to leap off!  I do love seeing them although I know not everyone does.  A pesky squirrel indeed keeps planting nuts in my parents flower pots and chucking their bulbs out!  I find that quite funny and sweet but my Dad has a few choice words for it......... :-o
