3rd Time Lucky?

I have just passed a team of huskies in training!  They were pulling a four wheeled go-cart affair, how bizarre!  Beautiful dogs though.

It was so lovely to talk to you and C last night even if I didn't have much uplifting news from this end! 

And so to the continuing saga of the jewellery.  I left here yesterday and headed for the jewellers, finally arrived after another hike up the high street, to discover the owner free from sales ladies and customers, at last.  She did remember me speaking to her a couple of weeks ago and seemed to like everything I produced from my enormous organic cotton bag, but had no interest, (and seemingly no intention,) of stocking any of it.  Really confusing signals from this woman.  She decided it would be "best" if she took my number and got me to come in to meet with brides to be to make bespoke jewellery for them.  Bearing in mind that she told me several times that the brides she gets in are planning a wedding on a shoe string, the two things don't seem to gel to me.  If you want a bespoke service with made to measure jewellery to your specifications, doesn't really scream budget does it?  Usually, if people want that sort of thing they expect to pay more not less. 

Shop owner did tell me to try the bridal shop over the road which I did.  She told me she was too busy to speak to me, (fair enough, it was Saturday and she did have three prospective brides riffling through the gowns in a frenzy), anyway, as I went to leave she asked if I could mail her some photos which  I will do.

So, feeling a little deflated and ever so slightly crumpled around the edges, or I could just be hormonal.  Not sure where to go from here.

Needless to say, I was totally unmotivated yesterday afternoon and very lazy, I only remembered around 7pm that I still needed to iron the bedding, I know what you're thinking but in my defence, it was just the pillow cases, can't stand creased pillow cases.

It must have rained solidly for fifteen or more hours but thankfully , as I drove here this morning, the rain faded away and the sun is now attempting to appear, there is even the merest hint of baby blue in the sky.

I slept great last night, woke early as usual but managed to nod for another hour, it really must take three days for the brain to disengage from work.  Only ran for twenty minutes this morning then did five minutes of stretching and five minutes of Pilates, (badly.)

I'm here for ages this morning, I may even have to buy another coffee!  I need to do a little shopping and of course the shops don't open until 11am, so here I am... unless I get evicted by the lovely staff.

There is an Australian expo on this coming weekend and  I'm toying with the idea of attending, I was planning to go but I may wait and go to the one in the autumn instead, we'll see.

James Blunt has been quite upbeat of late providing us with some really catchy and happy toons but I'm secretly happy to report that his latest release; "If Time is all I Have" is a little melancholy and beautiful to boot, a little in the old style.  This album seems to have a really lovely mix, I must get around to actually buying it!


Have a fabulous week, I'm off on Friday so may well be back here then x
