Minding April and bear repair

Well the year is sure flying by yet again......hello, and just look at this dog.....Trixie whom I had the fun of minding with baby April for a few hours at least over a week ago ☺☺

And this gorgeous Miss April looks like she is poking her tongue out at Granny lol 

She did give me a sweet smile though ♥♥ and this was while I did a bit of ironing for her Mum and Dad while they had a break out for lunch and a movie ☺

A lovely big yawn, and not because I was boring her lol 

And don't you reckon Trixie is almost looking like "what you looking at....this is my couch" lol

I had a lovely time with them and also cat Max who is a bit more elusive to photo's ☺ I will

do more too, but currently my Mum is not so good so have been doing many visits there ♥

In the meantime, back at home and did a bit of bear mending for my girl's partner's old Mr Bear......quite therapeutic doing some hand sewing/mending for a change ☺

And look! Not quite, but almost, as good as new for one who is way over 30yrs old lol and he can see again with these button eyes ♥

He is now strapped in my car ready for when I go to visit my Mum on Thursday (her 91st birthday) and pass back to my girl when I also get to see her ☺☺

Life sure can be interesting at times and we do what we can where we can.....

Thanks for dropping by again friends ♥

Around home, family visit and a blue angry bird lol

Hi again, this is catching up with what were got up to before Saturday......Friday we took a drive to order some new tyres for my car and on the way back along a quiet country road we saw this turtle crossing the road......He would not put his head back out for me to take a pic...camera shy lol 

The man then carried him back to the pond area he must have come from....

We reckon these cattle may have disturbed him and he thought I am out of here, but the road is not the place to hang out.....

We then came across more cattle, this time they were along the road, but they at least had farmers with them ☺

Eating along the way......

I started this blue angry bird for my boy in Sydney for his birthday which is tomorrow (2nd Nov Monday)

I managed to crochet it up quite quickly thanks to the great pattern here  ravelry

Looking good 

And finally got the black tail feathers done ☺

He was put in the mail early Friday so am hopeful he arrives safe by Monday with a bit of luck...

Happy birthday Rex xoxo

We had family visitors and decided to eat tea out at a local La Porchetta.....Here is the mans youngest boy 

He chose Ribs with chips.....gave the salad to someone else as he does not do salads lol 

The girl's guy who I call on here Scotty (from Scotland)

He chose the massive mixed grill lol 

My girls, sorry about the blurry pic ♥

She chose the same as me, pasta Pescatore ( I love seafood)

The man's girl and yep that tongue as usual lol 

Cant remember what her past dish was called but looked yummy......

My girls guy......

He chose Marinara pizza and it is one of my favourites too 

The man

He chose Penne Matriciana 

And of course I better put a pic of myself.....we had a lot of fun and walked down and back so good exercise for us all and could have a little red wine with the meal too ☺

When we got back home we saw this hideous spider and showed Scotty who has not come across one of these before.....they can be sometimes quite massive, luckily not this one and at least it was outside lol 

What is happening in your neck of the woods....
