WOYWW 5th Anniversary!!

This is the state of the desk on this 5th Anniversary of WOYWW... yep, boxed up and ready to go!

This is the rest of the room... the packers come in next Tuesday and load onto the shipping container on the Wednesday, so this will be my last WOYWW from Australia. 

Here is the PIF ATC for the name below mine with an asterisk.. I have sent all the others out already and saved this one for today so its just a case of popping it in the post.

Here is the lovely Pandora, she had her 5th Birthday on Monday this week... and she is not looking forward to her flight home... :(

Tom-Tom says he will cope as long as there are treats at the end of it...  don't think he has figured out that he gets picked up next Monday and flown to Sydney, then they stay in Sydney till their flight on Wednesday to Heathrow... where they get checked over and then boarded for the night and have to catch a flight to Aberdeen in the morning of the 6th June when we will also arrive and go and fetch them from the terminal.  Poor little things.... 

Happy 5th Anniversary of WOYWW to you all but especially to Julia, thank you for thinking o f it, and keeping it going! 

T on Tuesday

Joining Elizabeth for T on Tuesday with..... TEA! ;)  I have't done any playing with paper for nearly a week, my desk is deserted and empty.  I haven't felt very well (diverticulitis is the pits) but today I actually feel as though the antibiotics have kicked in and I will survive this second bout in as many weeks.

So I have found some scraps of material and I am going to attempt to make a bow... it should prove interesting as I haven't got a clue what to do but think I have a mental image of what I want it to look like.

I have chosen reds and blues because I want to be able to attach it to these...

Yes, one red and one blue bag... they are not my normal style of bag but they were FREE!  You see, I went clothes shopping for summer clothes and if you spent a $100 you got a free bag.... well, it was pretty easy to do that and when the lady was cashing up I asked if I could split them into two purchases... thus getting two bags and she said yes! ;) LOL 

Anyways, that is me sorted for the day, visiting T folk and playing with the sewing machine... the cats are in their run but the temperature is creeping up so not sure how long they will be out there.

Pandy is in her favourite spot on the high shelf above the ficus tree

while Tom-Tom is sprawled in the shade on the fake grass we bought them because the cat run is all gravel.

It's supposed to be spring here in Brisbane but its going to be 32 degrees (90F) today and tomorrow is supposed to be 36 degrees (97F) and I don't think I want to even think about Thursday at 37 C !!

OK... this is the first attempt... not quite sure it works... I have the sneaking suspicion that peeps may think I just got a rosette at the local dog show....  bigger centre? longer legs? scrap and start over? 

You know when it's a bit chilly outside because...

you got to bed and are joined by both cats.... who seem totally incapable of sleeping on one half of the queen size bed that you have allotted them!  (Nb.  Queen size here is King size in the UK so it's a pretty big bed).

Chris is away in Fort Mac so its just me taking up a strip down one side... so why do I wake up after just an hour and have this Gulliver in Lilliput feeling?  Tom-Tom is stretched out down one side of me and Pandy is stretched out down the other side... the duvet is pulled tightly over my legs and I realise I am sleeping in a strip that is about 8 inches wide and can't move... nope, not even a little bit!!  Do I just ooomph them both off?  Stretch and heave so that I have a little space to turn over if I wish?  Do I heck... I lay there, cramped and feeling like a sardine in a tin so that they aren't disturbed.... which probably means that I am... disturbed, that is!!
