Rummage

Have been gardening and herding cats hanging out with dogs and children. We may have made a garland for the whippet to wear. There's a photo over on Instagram - he doesn't look happy. I also had a haircut recently that I was assured was a shag cut but I have a sneaking suspicion it has morphed into a mullet.

Sidenote to people who feel there is anything to gain by advertising on this blog. Truly only about 5 people read it so don't bother. And I swear quite often which wouldn't go down well either, I imagine.

Since starting work full-time for the first time since the girls were born a lot has had to slide, as you may have noticed. My garden has been one of those things and my eyes felt the pain of cardiac arrest every single time I stepped out the door. I'm embarrassed to say it has only been in my third year back in full-time museumsville that I am starting to get my literal and metaphorical shit sorted.

So I'm back in the garden sorting shit. Yes, bothways. 

We will not speak of this weekend's events and the prospect of sitting through the next few years of conservative, mean-hearted politics. Instead I will focus on this weekend's Trash and Treasure which was more weighted towards the second T.

A motherload of vintage knitting patterns for Mum. Still searching for her dream of a set of tortoiseshell size 8 needles.

This pocket Shakespeare was the big girl's choice. We were intrigued by the typo, she has since been muttering lines from Macbeth under her breath. Spelling error or not I call that $5 well spent.

Then there was a posy of scented stock presented by a courtly old man fresh from his garden.

The world is not such a terrible place even if we are now governed by a man with a startling amount of chest hair. Hope your weekend was beautiful. x

It's a bit like childbirth really. No idea how so much can come out of a small white bulb. I am in awe.

 

Rummage by Sunday moonlight: eleventh hour homework en masse around the dinner table.
He's a good dad that man in the stripes. Hope you had a beautiful weekend.
