S.E.X ..... or Holiday Adventures continuing

Well after yesterday's washout ... seriously it rained all day so I was a wuss and stayed home and read and stitched a little and caught up on webcomics ....

Last night was good.  Met Stephen after work and went out for dinner and the movies.  Saw Hancock - very interesting movie.  Everything in the adverts is taken care of in the first part of the movie and I was literally left with,well where is the movie going to go from here .... it can't be over yet?  and it took a severe left turn into uncharted territory and moved from a light comedy into a serious drama piece .... left me feeling a little strange as it is a movie that kinda purported to be one thing but changed into something else.

It was interesting and I do recommend going to see it on cheap night at the cinema.

Today I was up and out of the door before Stephen and actually found my way to the bus stop, got off at the right stop, bought a train ticket, caught the right train and got off at the right stop all by myself. {1}  I even had enough time to pick Janine up a bunch of flowers en route.

Had a ball visiting Janine and her family for around 5 hours ish .... After seeing her lovely home and some of the completed projects on her walls (her version of St Sophia is stunning and then framing is oh so simple but oh so effective) !!!

I was allowed to play in the shop .....  two hours later I dragged myself away from the charts for lunch.  An hour or so after that I whittled down the pile to my budget (plus 50%).  I didn't even really get a chance to look through the smaller charts or the fabrics or the flosses yet ....  maybe next visit {evil grin}

I bought:

a darling pair of tabby cat embroidery scissors
1 skein Dinky dyes Emerald
1 skein Dinky Dyes Topaz
Enchanting Lair Dragonsheart
Enchanting Lair Irish Fields Hand dyed fabric for Dragons Heart design
JBW Designs French Country Cat
JBW Designs French Country Love

Midsummer Night Designs Medieval Mermaid
Dinky Dyes Designs Kitty Love
Dinky Dyes Designs Harvest Time
ByGone Stitches Eloquent Christmas

Dracolair Creations Knotwork Winter

Then Janine very very kindly took me to a local shopping centre so I could get some more cash for the train {2} and then dropped me back at the train station.

I managed to get off at the right stop, find my way to a supermarket, stock up on various food items and then walk home all by myself.  Uphill.  With my backpack bulging with a gazillion kilos of food {3}. I figured I would be nice and cook dinner for Stephen seeing as he is exhausted {4}.  He's working hard and mentally exhausting himself at work, and then sharing his home and bed space with another person is throwing out all of his sleep patterns.

So I thought I would be nice and cook tonight.  I just couldn't decide what to cook, so I brought home ingredients for three separate meals.  Will figure it all out when he comes home ....

I'm off to fondle my stash some more and consider starting Dragonsheart .......





{1} Trust me this is a *major* achievement !!!!
{2} No its *not* because I spent all my money with her - Iused my credit card for her shopping, I was just short on actual cash after buying her some flowers as a present earlier in the day.
{3} OK a slight exaggeration
{4} No not for that reason{4a}
{4a} Yes I am serious - its not that!  {4b}
{4b} Yes I did wonder if I was losing my touch
