Well, these last couple of weeks have been strange, haven't they? These stupid, inane, idiotic riots for one. What are these people thinking? People dying as they try to defend their business? This has nothing to do with any socio-economic problems that might be occurring in their areas, as these sort of people don't want to work. If there was 100% employment in their area they would still be on the dole! It just makes me feel like nailing my front door shut and forgetting there's a world out there. On Saturday night some little twat set fire to a car in our car park. Dave and I had just got to bed and we heard a load POP then a lot of shouting and running around, we quickly got dressed and ran out to the car park to find one of our neighbours putting out a blazing car with a fire extinguisher. The owner of the car was crying her eyes out and we all just stood around wondering what the hell was going on. Apparently five or six cars around this area have been torched in the last couple of nights - just little knob heads who have seen what's going on in London, Manchester and Birmingham on the telly and decided "that looks like fun". I despair. The men around here have all swapped mobile numbers and are keeping a constant watch on our car park now - if nothing else it's been a great male bonding exercise!
Onto nicer, cosier things. Thank God I've got them! I baked some gorgeous (even though I say so myself!) cupcakes from the Eat Me book. One taster said they were the best cakes she'd ever tasted.
Blueberry Clouds they are called.
I've also finished one quarter of my crochet throw, all sewn together.
I'm very pleased with it, never thought I would get this far! I'm feeling a lot better in myself lately, I think the meds are finally kicking in. I'm really enjoying my hobbies this past week. I look forward all day to cooking dinner and doing my crochet or stitching. For a few weeks I just couldn't be bothered with anything. I often wonder, women who don't have hobbies, what exactly do they DO???
