Peacock Gift Bag!

Good Sunday Afternoon to Everyone,

I hope you are well and are having a good weekend, whatever you happen to be doing.  The weather is not too great, rain and sunshine, but pretty cold.  I do hope wherever you are that the weather isn't too awful.
It's been a day of sport here in the abode and Alistair has full control of the TV zapper, our local team, Caley Thistle are playing Hearts in some sort of Cup Final, and then its the rugby with Scotland and Ireland, I don't mind the rugby, but cant be bothered with the footy. It however leaves me in peace to get on with important things like blogging.

We went to see 12 Years a Slave last night and what a powerful film it is, awful to think human beings can behave that way to other human beings. I can see how it's up for all sorts of awards, worth going to see, if you can stand all the violence towards the slaves, I had to close my eyes at those bits.

We are waiting for a friend to come over to help Alistair with the computer, I cant' fix what he's done so Linda is a whizz with the word processing as he is an admin person.  
Alistair is writing the story of his accent and decent of the Matterhorn called "The Day the Rope Got Fankled", This was many years ago when he was a young man, and it's a really funny story where the rope really did get fankled.  I'm not allowed to read it until he asks me to edit it, however he is a pain with the computer, he keeps pressing keys and icons without knowing what they do, this will be the second time Linda will come to the rescue.  The things that are showing up are way beyond my skills to fix.  If he ever becomes a full time author, I'm sending him on a computer course.

I've got a little something for you today;

You will more than likely recognise a similar creation from a few weeks ago, which was a card for my Daughter-in-law's birthday, well this is the gift bag I've made to pop her present into.

Moreen's birthday isn't till next Friday, and as it's a significant one she is having her family and Alistair and I for a little get together.

The last time that happened Moreen's sister-in-law and I thought there was going to be a big announcement about a wedding, we were convinced of this as Moreen and Damian are not the sort of couple who have family parties, but we were wrong, but I swear that Damian did that deliberately just to get us going, as he kept grinning at me all evening. Anyhow it will be lovely to meet up with her family again.

Thank you for all the kind comments on my last card, I really do appreciate your visit.

That's me for now, keep warm and cosy and see you soon,
