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
Come on in it is nice to sit and have a chat after all the hustle and bustle of the past few days. 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 have to say what a sad week this has been in the music and entertaining world . Both David Bowie and Alan Rickman dying of cancer at the age of 69yrs with just a few days between them.
David Bowie was a huge influence and icon to me in my youth and still was up until his death. His music, clothes, lyrics are what have coloured many decades of my life. Enough has been said about him to fill several books so I shall let his music speak for him!
He was my hero.
Alan Rickman a wonderful actor who went from stage to screen, Shakespeare to the silver screen with ease. Truly,deeply, madly, Die Hard, Harry Potter, Robin Hood Prince of Thieves to name but a few!
Truly he was a lovely man.
If we were having coffee : I would offer you another cuppa or a treat of some kind would you like something stronger maybe it is very cold here today we even woke up to snow and the temperature is a very chilly 2c/ 36 F so come on lets get nearer the fire.
What have you been up to this week . I have been very busy shopping and housework. I have been to the new class of Pilates again and this week my friend L came with me she found it very hard but also excellent so we shall both be doing the course together. As for my core class on Saturday …my that is so hard . I think the two months plus I was away from the gym is taking it’s toll. I am hoping for improvement soon!
If we were having coffee: Sadly I still have not got to see Star Wars yet! I don’t think there is much chance of me seeing it this week either. Monday the men are coming to refit one of our kitchen worktops ( they have made a holy mess of the long run under the window and put an abysmal joint by the sink! Right in eye line as you enter the kitchen). Also I have a scan at 11am and so the hubby will have to stay home and make sure all goes well in the kitchen. In the afternoon hubby has to take his mother for a hospital appointment so I shall be on workman supervision if they have not finished the task! Tuesday is a possible but Wednesday is Pilates in the morning and we have a funeral to attend in the afternoon. Thursday we have an upholsterer coming to fix one of our sofas. I am annoyed about this as we have not had these a year yet and the stitching is coming apart on a part of the sofa we hardly ever sit on!! Friday though I am looking forward to as hubby and I are going for a tour of Parliament !! WOOHOO ! a day in London.
So Star Wars has to wait and goodness only knows when I shall get to see The Danish Woman!
If we were having coffee: I would ask you how your blogging has been this week I have been very busy as it is still January and January means Just Jot It January. This is run by LindaGHill it is hard but I do enjoy a challenge!

Never too late to join in here
If we were having Coffee: I would have to say we are all sill waiting patiently for our dear Paul Curran to rejoin us here at the coffee share but until he is well enough and up and running again we shall have to bide our time!
For now everyone Be well and happy!

Sounds like a busy week, but way too much of it as a result of people who can’t do their jobs right the first time. Hope your kitchen and sofa are good as new by the end of the week.
Jan 17, 2016 @ 12:39:39
Yes it is busy …too busy and yes I agree that nothing is ever as it should be even when they are new! Thank you for reading Deborah! xx

grrrr. Every week when I see your caption, I rush over thinking that maybe Paul has returned and no one told me. Not that I don’t love your posts, as well, but you know – Paul! When I got my year-end WP review over on my site, it was Paul’s posts that had the most views and comments! Grrrrr. Again, not that I’m not proud of him, but you know, I do write, too.
Anyway, let’s both keep plugging along, and hopefully Paul will get his internet back and contact one of us sooner rather than later.
Jan 17, 2016 @ 18:42:15
Yes he will when he can and then he will continue to put us both to shame !! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!

It was a sad day when David Bowie died. He broke all the rules and push music, style and so much more to the next level. Alan’s death too was sad. Both were far too young! I have seen Star Wars yet – I am more of a Trekkie but was going to try and see Star Wars on the big screen. Not sure if we will get to it. We have had some nasty weather come into our area. So staying home is often more enjoyable. 🙂
Jan 17, 2016 @ 22:17:24
Yes it was a sad sad week two great talents gone. We love Star Trek too and that is another film I am looking forward to. The weather here is not good but probably not as spectacular as yours. 🙂
Jan 18, 2016 @ 00:11:40
Hope Paul is improving!
I’ve been quite sad about Bowie and Rickman, too. They were both great artists.
Hope your week is a good one–it certainly sounds like it will be a busy one!
Jan 18, 2016 @ 06:32:27
Yes Diana we all hope to hear from PAUL soon. It is very sad about David Bowie and Alan Rickman not made any better by the shock of it all.We do have a very busy week ahead and I am tired already. How was the wedding?
Jan 18, 2016 @ 15:39:33
It was lovely–hope your weekend turned out right!
Jan 18, 2016 @ 16:59:22

Busy, busy, busy! No rest for the wicked, they say. Sad, sad, sad. And since you have posted this we have now lost Glenn Frey too! And poor Céline Dion’s husband AND her brother within 2 days of each other. Then two drummers and…
It’s getting to the point that I am afraid to go on Facebook!
I think I should like to sit by your fire, Ms Willow, and do let us talk of lovely things…
Jan 20, 2016 @ 07:00:05
Yes let’s do that and I will put the kettle on. xxx
