So Far, So Good

     My intention of keeping my home fifteen minutes away from how I wished others to see it is so far (touch wood) going well. Yes yes, I know it's only January 3rd but I actually started this in late December and am rather pleased with myself. I confess to becoming anally retentive though, as after the first morning of tidying and cleaning and stopping to rest my back, I found myself stalking from room to room, checking all was as I had left it. I have an Andy who claims none of the chaos is ever down to him and Boo just looks at me with pure innocence, so I assume it must be pixies and if I am ever so quiet, I might catch a peek.
     Our friend and his kiddies didn't make it here on new years day due to car troubles so they have rescheduled but we do have company any day now, no idea what day mind you, which rattles me somewhat as I feel on edge not knowing, but I am happy with how the place looks for visitors   The dining table has remained clear and I no longer find a bucket of bike cleaning paraphernalia in the bath and as I had to go out unexpectedly today, with Mr Boo to the vet, I was pleased to come home and be able to rest my back which slowed me right down on the walk back and know that I had nothing to do but let Boo out of the travel pod and put the kettle on.
     So yes, off to the vet with Mr Boo I went as he has been very lethargic all morning and this is a bunny who is always on the move and gets very excited whenever I go near the kitchen (or even stand up) so we were concerned. I popped him in the pod and set off along the river to the vet. Boo was very vocal in the quiet reception area which caused a few curious looks my way and then he proceeded to molt all over my red coat and then alarmed Matt the Vet by jumping from the vet table onto my shoulder. Cue gratuitous picture of The Bob -

     In other news, we watched 'Bunny Lake Is Missing' which is a rather wonderful film indeed and I had my hair dyed to brighten my mood.
     Speaking of hair, mine seems to have a memory of its own and I can put it up without ever looking into a mirror these days and once grips are removed, it stays put. There is nothing holding my hair up in this picture, it's simply defying gravity, impressive, eh?  Of course, if I went out I'm very sure that the wind would play havoc with it and I would look like a Georgian strumpet having just been ravished.

     I have also decided on my January sewing project, a sleeveless blouse from an original fifties pattern, as I have some lovely fabric which I purchased to make a skirt from, but due to a buying mishap, didn't have enough for said skirt and as I need more tops, it's ideal.

     For now I shall away, as I have to start thinking about dinner but I shall endeavour to pay your recent posts a visit tomorrow. Toodle pip!
