Where To Begin?

A good nights sleep has been elusive this last week thanks to a persistent cough.  I'm sure you know the one ... the minute you lay down to sleep the tickle begins and won't let go until you cough and then you can't stop. Day time isn't much better either.

Add in hearing and then watching a car roar away from your home late at night and coming to the realization that it's your car and someone has just stolen it. Thanks to the swift response of Police we were lucky to have it found dumped at a service station in the next town but ours was only one of a string of goings on. It's very hard for the brain to comprehend what the eyes are seeing when it's thinking that's not possible. Gave up on sleep that night.

Thankfully with the bad there is good to make us smile. The next morning this beautiful little girl had arrived into our world.


Today is getting back to 'normal' with washing on the line and another load in the machine. Might put a loaf of bread in the maker shortly and there's a half knitted scarf waiting to be finished too...think this one is number 11 of the ruffle variety.

May you find some time to be creative this weekend.

    Not a nice feeling when someone is sneaking around your house at night
    We recently had our quad bike stolen. The police found it damaged on the rail trail the next night
    To make matters worse it was taken by our next door neighbours son. He does not live with his Mum In his 40's He is currently in jail for traffic offenses
    Hope things get better in the sleeping department

  3. It amazes me that there isn't a roller coaster of the super scary kind callled life. I am glad you got your car back and what a sweetie to make things all better. Sometimes even laundry seems like a good thing. Hope the cough goes away too--really soon.

  9. I can relate to the time lag before the brain recognises that your car is driving off and you're not in it and that can't be possible...came out of the pictures at a shopping centre one day to see the car driving down the road...so not a nice feeling...like yours it was recovered but it's horrible when it happens...hope your cough has gone away and you've got some good sleep with no more disturbances...The new addition is a pretty little filly...

  11. I so know that rotten cough. I hope you can shake it soon. What a pain about the car. It outrages me that people think they have a right to take what others have earned.
    The foal sure is cute. I love baby animals. I have been a bit lazy the last few days because the sunny weather has been so nice. Sitting in the sun is so therapeutic .
