Weekend Round Up...

.... another busy weekend has come to an end... and, yes, I am a few days late giving you an update on it, as is often the case - lol!

So, what did I get up to?  Lots and lots, actually.

Saturday morning I went for a long walk (longer than we actually planned as we got a little lost at the end and overshot our goal) with some friends along the seaside at Elwood Beach.  See the gorgeous houses and the lovely blue sea.

.... and, of course, I saw a friendly kitty cat along the way to my car.

Saturday night we had a nice dinner with some friends in Southbank and then went to see Dream Lover....

If you look hard, you can just see the orchestra tuning up...

We really enjoyed the show - the songs were fabulous.

Sunday morning was another walk - this time with my Sunday Dog (and Marie), who was down from Sydney for a visit.  Love you Poochie.

In the evening, it was off to IMAX to see the latest Star Wars movie in 3D.  The plot is really the same old, same old.  But after having over forty years of viewing invested in this film franchise - how can I give up on it now.  Anyway, it was fun to see and only one more to go?????

... and, of course interspersed with all of this was being glued to the TV watching this...

My favourite is the Ice Skating (dancing), but I do love watching the Moguls and the Snowboarding, too.

I actually prefer the Winter to the Summer Olympics - what is your preference?

There has been lots of stitching happening, too, but I will save that for my next post.

I hope that your weekend (a distant memory now) was as much fun as mine was...

hugs, 

P.S. Don't forget to visit my Secret Stitching Sweetheart Blog Hop post - are you my Valentine for 2018?

GG and TUSAL post ... both late......

Well, I am running a bit late on my posting this month for both my TUSAL and my Gifted Gorgeousness but I am here now, so here goes.  First up is this month's ORTS, I must have been very thrifty this month as I did stitch a lot but do not seem to have many ORTs in my tins.

Home on the left, train on the right.

... and here is the year's worth, so far...

Now, before I go onto GG, I must show off my latest pics of my furbabies, firstly Furio amongst my books, photos and stitching .....

.... and then here is Milo, sleeping on a cushion he found under the table....

Now, I am stitching on some GG pieces but they will have to wait for another time, I did want to show you what my dear friend, June, sent me as a thank you for the Swapaway gifts I sent her earlier this year.

A gorgeous Christmas stitchery which looks fabulous here with all of my other stitched pieces.

 Plus some other sweet goodies including lots of cards with kitty cats.

Thank you so much, June, I love it all so very much.

... and my final pic, here is my Sunday Dog.... "Pooch" Isn't she gorgeous?

Well, another big day at work for me.

Enjoy your day or your evening, wherever you are, 

hugs, 

Sunday Dog...

Thanks to everyone for their kind words of support after my "down in the dumps" sort of post yesterday.  That, along with the kindness of dear bloggy friends such as Kim, have cheered me up immensely.

Something else that cheers me up immensely is a walk around Princes Park on a fine, crisp late Autumn Sunday morning with my Sunday Dog, Poochie (and my DF, Marie, of course).....

Then an afternoon of blog hopping, knitting, stitching, reading, a few chores and a little TV - now that is a slice of heaven!

What are you all up to on this lovely Sunday?

hugs,
