My nails match my computer

Yes i know i should be looking for a job, but its boring and painting my nails is much more fun.

New Things!

I acquired all these new things this weekend. I shall be selling them at the Courtyard Bazzar on the 29th hopefully.I seem to have got rather a lot of cats.

New Dream Bike

This is my new bike. Well i was going to tinker with it then sell it, but i love it. I already have a bike but its pink and doesn't go with my outfit for the up-coming tweed run. So after adjusting the seat on this one and realizing i can reach the pedals, i'm keeping it. Needed some cleaning so i spent the day cleaning it instead of job hunting. Day well spent.

It was covered in oil and some of the chrome was a bit rusty. Bit of elbow grease and it came up a treat.

Bit of internet searching told me you could find out the date the bike was made by looking a number on the hub. Cleaned all the shit off and found out it was made in 1974.

Sunday VW Fun

So today was the day of the volks world show. We thought we'd go and get some ideas for doing up Bertha.We sat in a traffic jam for 2 fucking hours, slowly crawling to the showground entrance. It was a good looking traffic jam with some lovely campervans queuing but it was a traffic jam non the less. When we got there it was all a bit strange. Everything seemed to be crammed in and they're weren't too many T25's, Lots of Spiltys and Bays. Jim saw some cars he liked but as i girl i can only comment on the colour of them and the interiors. I cant even drive. Looking back i think the queue was the most exciting bit of the day. It was ok but not really what i'd been expecting, maybe summer shows are better, dunno.

Much more exciting was this sandwich i made

Somehow i have got to the age of 29 without ever roasting a joint of beef. On the way back from the camping van show we went to the farm shop. They had joints of beef for 3 quid in the oopps section. So i bought one roasted it, ate some and made the leftovers into me dinner for tomorrow.

We're building a Shanty Town

No. Jim wants a greenhouse. So were building one pikey style.

Sunday

Jim put up a the new bathroom cabinet (under carefully guidance from me).

Had this hanging around for ages, bought it at Hebden Bridge in the summer.
I baked a cakeRosehip Drizzle cake using the rosehip syrup i made in the autumn. Think I'll be making this one again.

Free Cake!

I made a Tea Loaf. It was technically free as i didn't have to go out and buy any special ingredients for it. Very simple cake to make. Tastes good. Win.
