Dogs drool and Cats rule. and other things, I'm rambling again.

nice old purse, quite roomy considering it's got all my cards and a small amount of money in it.

I love it and have promised not to paint it...........yet

bag for work

bought it because it was cheap, not sure what to do with it

And this is a good part of the road

there is always a Portaloo if your caught short on the way home

Church further back the road, it's just holding on since September

On the way home from work, these shops have almost gone today

I have in my own defence been busy, sort of, so I haven't blogged for over a week. The photos above are my buys and some I took going home from work, a little Tiki tour down Stanmore Rd and beyond. The shops above and the ones you can't see around the corner (funny that not been able to see around corners) were almost gone this afternoon when I went passed.These are the shops we use for things required for work, and my special PO shop with the  best mags in town. He is still there and operating, people died in this group of shops, how terrible is that to be working in the fish shop and being a customer and then a earthquake happens.  We had two decent ones on Tuesday and one of the staff said ( this was at lunchtime and it went on for a few seconds) "Jim ( the boss) Jim should we get up under the tables. Jim we should get everyone under the tables now", and we all said " Hell no, it's not a bad one, and we wont be asking  Jim whether we should go under the bloody tables we'll all be there", we were all laughing at this because she lives in the country and doesn't feel  the numerous aftershocks out there.

this will remain a mystery till I finish it, it's for the car ????? can't say more

As you can see picked up some things, the bag is a decent size and holds everything that I need in my daily life, I won a prize at a quiz night for having the most things in my bag, which I was proud of because you have to be prepared, don't you. The cute purse has two compartments and I love it, have put my stuff in it as I sat in the car after buying it, the magazine rack came from the same store which I'll post about at a later date when I get some good photos. I think I'll paint it, but not yet, when "the men" have forgotten about it, they like it how it looks now, but I think a little white paint would look good. The wool came from the cats shop and cost $2.00 for 5 balls so I had to give a cat a better life by buying it, what a wonderful person I am..............Actually I do love cat's and I see Britain has become a nation of dog lovers over the dear old mogs, what's wrong with them,( the British, I mean not the cats), I would love a dog but only if Dave was happy with the arrangement.  The boys favourite movie when they were young used to say "dogs drool and cats rule", it had Sally Field as the cat and Michael J Fox as the young dog, can't remember the old dog .............(.thinking time there) it was called The Incredible Journey, what a brilliant movie, we all loved it. Dave isn't as agile as he was, poor old man, hope this winter isn't too tough for him or us, it has been cold and wet the last few days, I'm wearing 2 layers so that should tell you something. Have to go and do something vaguely useful..........yes I mean housework.......Love Aunt Bee.
