Update on our Project 52

Ok, I (Dot) have set myself quite a big challenge for the last 3 days of 2012.

At the beginning of the year we started this Project 52.  With one thing and another Sammee hasn't managed to keep up with the weekly challenge and, although I sauntered along by myself for another 12 weeks, I eventually let it fall by the wayside.

So . . . over the next 3 days I am going to try to complete the Project 52 Challenge that was set. Hard going but I'm going to try my best. 

Watch out for the first 2 coming your way shortly.

Week 33 - Clothing

My wardrobe is full and yet I can't find anything to wear!  My laundry/ironing pile is huge and yet I can't find anything to wear!  I have decided that I have far too many clothes and therefore I am doing a massive clearout.  Time to ditch those things that are frumpy and never see the light of day.  Thrift shop here I come!

Week 32 - Daily Routine

I don't have much of a daily routine in my life as I work in different places every day of the week however my one staple on weekdays is my morning cup of coffee that hubby brings to my beside before he heads off out to get the bus.  It isn't the caffeine that makes this a welcome cuppa, because I drink decaf, but the fact that he brings it to me with a kiss.  Thank you Scott xxxxx

Week 31 - Memories

My 30th school reunion is coming up in September and so I have been trawling through some old school photos to put up in our Facebook Group.  It is amazing what memories these bring back - both good and bad.  Once I had posted them on my own page, a whole load more memories were released with comments from other people. "Do you remember when . . . ?"  I even discovered that a friend I have now was in my Primary 2/1 composite class in 1970 but neither of us realised until the photo was posted!  Names came flooding back that I hadn't uttered in years!

I know there are a few people who don't want to remember their school days but for me they hold a lot of happy memories and they are all wrapped up in these photos  . . . oh, and the strict uniform we had to wear including the little beret that now sits in my dining room on top of Tigger's head!

I'll report back after the Reunion on 8 September and let you know how it went.

Week 30 - River

After the torrents that have flooded through the Scottish streams and rivers over the past few weeks it was lovely to see this calm picture of the Esk trickling under the Lasswade Bridge.  Here's hoping the weather keeps improving for a couple of weeks at least!
