Home alone again

 Tam and Rosie left yesterday, with the latter having a hissy fit about being strapped into the car seat as she wanted to carry on "driving" the car as she had been whilst we were packing it.  She was past her sell-by date, tiredness wise.  Tam was nearly in tears as her wrists were so painful (a return of the Carpel Tunnel pain/weakness she had when pregnant) and I have to say I breathed a sigh of relief when they were on their way.  When you are unwell, it is hard to hold it together with a houseful of family and last night I was exhausted and in bed by 8p.m. and slept 11 1/2 hours . . .  

Rosie is SO gentle with the cats and here she is giving Alfie a little snuggle.

We intended to download the photos from my Panasonic DC-FZ82 yesterday, but I have changed my computer this year and it doesn't have a port for the original connector - which seems to have gone missing since NZ anyway.  So I will have to buy another.  Annoying.

I still have mucky eyes, so will have to use the gungey eye "glue" from Boots again.  Cough almost gone, sinuses still hanging in there.  I may go to Llandod later on, just to get out of the house and get some fresh air and stretch my legs.  I need some fresh veg, so that's my excuse.

Gabby made me laugh with her surprise present for me (non craft one) as she got me a splendid 1L Thermos flask because I had been really cold at the last Malvern fair, but too mean to pay £2 for a cup of tea (I ask you, hot water, teabag and a glimpse of milk).  It will be put to good use.

I need to have a burn up of boxes and wrapping paper today too and vacuum up needles from beneath the tree, which suffered mightily after visiting toddler grabbed a bauble and pulled the tree over . . . (Lovely friends of Tam & Jon's visited on Saturday).

I would like to make a start on the cat embroidery today.  I will see how I feel this afternoon.
