Freshly pressed

Proudly flaunting his freshly ironed shirt ironed  by mama's own fair hands....

( thought I'd exert myself as he was getting his diploma.... :0)..)
 Photo nicked from one of his pals......( many thanks...it makes excellent blog fodder...   you know how i like to have a pickie at the top..)

Days have passed so quickly since i last wrote in here.... i guess that means I'm having fun....  which in my case means I'm happily exploring new things.. and as i do so realize i have in fact been standing still for longer than i thought...

 Here we are in September..  and i've practically forgotten what a blog looks like...
I think its good to take a break sometimes...
( well that's my excuse....!!!! )
...if nothing else it will have given my voice a rest....  and for for those of you who may have thought i wish that woman would give it a rest.. it will have been a pleasant respite...

 Deliver us from evil..? Oh surely its not been that bad.. but one drone sounds pretty much like another i guess...

Maybe we should consider awarding a medal for bravery to anyone...  who happens to come this way....

Apologies to Elaine..  who has been trying to comment i've probably switched something off i should have.. will see if i can fix it.. thanks for  remembering me... :0)

Had a lazy day today art wise..  though on the positive side at least it gives the paint time to dry.. so shall attempt to fling myself back into it tomorrow with great gusto..

I'm now sat here in the dark.. as the sun has run across the sky and left me still sitting here...

and i have to get up early tomorrow.. so am not sure whether I'll be going to bed at all before that.. it may be easier to crash on my return..  rather than sleep a little and then try to drag myself out of bed...

All for now...

Shall try not to leave it so long next time... xxx

Thanks for the new bed ma'

I've soooooooooo been looking forward to showing you this...

Behold the above photo showing my new ironing board..  truly blessed by the worshipful pose of my beloved cat Jo..(  alias Josephinaki )

So far the only thing the new ironing board had been used for is a bed..and the iron is still in its box though i did peep at the instructions today...

Summer is drawing to a close at least i hope so... the weather the past few days..has been heavy... so am really hoping it breaks soon...

Alexander collects his diploma on Monday..  So my younger son Ari has wandered out into the depths of Athens to find out where exactly it is... so far ...i've managed to discover that its in the center in the national gardens and the actual building itself has quite a few rooms ( almost 30..) so it would be a good idea to find out which room we're supposed to go to..  then we dont have to poke our head around every door...

Its one of those affairs where they wear a cap and gown.. ( which one rents for the day for a small fortune...  So I'm envisaging him resembling something out of Hogwarts..  so yes we will be armed with a camera....  though am hoping there will be professional ones done too.. as its not something you do very often....

We're still waiting to see what happening with Ari this coming year... where he will be going...  what he will be doing.. i suppose that applies to both of them...

I still have a collection of things out on the balcony... the weather here has been dry for months.. which is why they're still out there..

When it rains here it really does pour down.. so its only a reprieve.. sooner or later the skies will open.. hopefully i will notice  and will drag everything inside.. if not well i suppose i shall just have to leave it out there to dry.... xxx
