If we were having coffee:The weather is getting distinctly wintry, fogs, rain, frost and cold so lets all go inside and be comfy by the fire. I can still entertain you all with tea and coffee from all over the world not to mention all our cakes and muffins and as Paul calls them sweets! Every single one is calorie free! Plus of course we now have spirits and liquors to warm the coldest of you.
If we were having Coffee: I would remind you that there are lots of other coffee mornings all shared and organized By Diana and Gene’O over at,Part time monster
If we were having coffee: Again I will have to say there is no post from our beloved Sunday guest contributor Paul Curran. Despite myself , Mark Bialczak and Outlierbabe emailing him there has been no word from him for at least a fortnight. Lets all send him good vibes and hopeful wishes. All Paul’s readers are welcome to join us !
If we were having coffee: I offer you another cuppa and ask you to help yourselves to cakes and biscuits. I am keeping my distance this week as I have an awful cold and cough and I don’t want any of you to catch it so as much as I want to, no hugs or kisses!!
I think now I must address the elephant in the room, I posted twice yesterday about the terrorist murders in Paris on Friday 13th….. those who planned the attack are obviously superstitious!I will not say too much as I have already set out my thoughts on the subject. Evil is rising up in our world and none of us are safe anymore. Here are the appalling facts.
If we were having coffee: I would have to tell you that now the kitchen is finished, apart from one one problem with the work top by the sink, that we have started to personalize it with a my favorite painting of a flower in a vase and a new ( though it looks rather old ) clock…we went for big!
New Clock
Beloved Painting
The next things will be matching shelves in sage grey for Hubby’s cook books and a large picture for the blank wall by the door.
We also have the table back in the kitchen making it the same social hub of the house that it was before. I mentioned the work top by the sink well the join is not good in fact it is so bad that even I spotted it. We did have someone come out to fix it but unfortunately he made it a hundred times worse!! Well the big boss is coming out on Wednesday. We await the out come but we think it will have to be replaced. Below is a photo of the join but I could not manage to capture the true extent of the problem
The offending joint
If we were having coffee: I would say come and have a look in the downstairs Loo, cloakroom or bathroom to some but to me it’s a loo. Why, well the plants in there are going mad. I have a plant in a terrine, some Cacti and a Bird of Paradise ( a very young one ) here let me show you.

The Terrine and the Cacti
If we were having coffee: Let’s have another cup and then we can have a look around the garden before it gets too dark. It is ready for winter now the hubby has given it it’s last cut and now it is ready for it’s hibernation. The Rowan tree and the bushes , except the holly are all laden with red berries for the birds… a sign of a hard winter to come .

The ‘Dwarf Firs’ no one told them that they were dwarfs!
Now that is about it for this week, I am sorry if I have have whisked over the horror of this weekend and thrown in domestic ups and downs and trivia but sometimes when the big world is floundering and falling about around our ears, trivia is what is called for . So beware, be safe and please stay and take your ease and chat . Thank you all for coming and I will see you all next week!

It’s the perfect time for me to fill my cup and join you for a coffee. My heart is full of sadness today. Our world is coming apart at the seams and nothing seems to help at the moment. I thank God for good friends and feeling safe when they are nearby. My love to you.

You haven’t had it so easy yourself, my friend. The other night I was reading one of your blogs and I’d just hit the like button and was prepared to send a brief comment and then Tom needed me. That was the end of my computer time for the day. Give yourself a gentle hug for me, okay.

Thank you for the cuppa. Kind of hard to fully enjoy while worrying about Paul. I hope he feels all of the good thoughts out here for him.
Kind of nice to sit with a cup, and try to gather our thoughts this week…..
Nov 15, 2015 @ 22:54:51
It is a worry about Paul but if good vibes can help he will receive them. It has been s bad weekend for humanity. xxx
Nov 16, 2015 @ 11:34:13
Very bad indeed. I hope Paul, and those who need it, get the vibes being sent.
Nov 16, 2015 @ 12:06:13
God is good and they all will.

Very nice kitchen upgrade, I see what you mean about the bad adjoining slab so near the kitchen sink. That may cause potential leak problems which may lead to cracks within the granite. The joint should never be near the actual sink, it’s visually unappealing as well. Let’s hope they can resolve it correctly.
Prayers going out to Paul, hope he’s doing well. Have a lovely week ahead!

Yes I hope the the work top can be resolved to our satisfaction, you seem well versed on granite work tops. O hope Paul gets in touch soon. Have a good week too. xxxx
