Going
through my cupboards I came across this coffee set, they have been sat in the
cupboard for around two years. I came
into their possession when his lordship went to help a friend clear out his
deceased mother’s house.
They are not
really my usual choice, in fact they are quite ugly and I doubt I will ever use
them, but they belonged to an old lady and although that old lady was not my
mother, she was some ones mother, hence I cannot bring myself to throw them
out. I am not sure what the animals are
that make up the handles on the cups, milk and sugar pot but I have a sneaking
suspicion that are young bears. Anyway not sure what to do with them so “back
in the cupboard with you”
It was one
of those kinds of days, you know, when you have loads to do but the body is not
really wiling. Doesn't help that his
lordship has contracted “Man Flue” and is busy coughing and wheezing like
nothing on this earth and feeling very sorry for himself. I have experienced man flue before but no one
can pull it off better than an Italian, honestly you would think that he had
something serious and not just some seasonal cold. I sent him to bed reminding him that “winters
coming, there are logs and twigs to sort out and that Mother Nature doesn't
stop just because someone has the sniffles”.
Still I am making him chicken soup in my slow cooker for supper that’ll
buck him up.
I spent
most of the day outside with the birds and in between twigging I tried, to get
a decent photo of the Farone, tricky little buggers to sneak up on and they squeal
like a couple of queens. His lordship
has named them Dolce & Gabbana.
Oh and I
found a suitable home for my cushions covers that I bought back, I call it my English
chair, ok so there is a bit of tartan in there but it is red white and blue.
