a different monday morning

last Monday morning I sat and sewed and played with colour combinations very happily


this Monday morning I'm going to ring the garage, and get them to come and get the car.

the quite new car that broke down yesterday 140 miles from home.

the children were quite excited by the recovery truck.
but then the wait by the side of the road was quite long, they would have been excited by a wheelbarrow ride.
although not a wheelbarrow the ride home was bumpy and uncomfortable.
but we are home...

and then when I've rung the garage I'm going to try and mend the toilet that overflowed all over the bathroom floor just as we were heading out to school...........

but first I'm going to have another cup of tea

hope you are having a nicer Monday xxxx

  5. Not a good start at all - I had one of those weeks last week when the boiler packed up....no hot water or heating at all!

    Hope it gets better,

  6. Oh no - a good day seldom begins with car trouble. You might need cake with that tea.

  10. Ugh, car trouble on a Monday is just horrid. I started last week with teh RAC man and while he's very nice, I'd rather not see him for a while yet!

    Hope the day improved.

  12. Just catching up - so congratulations on all your cakery and prize winning, I'm also enjoying The Edible Garden and I'm afarid I can't offer you a shred of help in the quilt decision department.

    Boo hiss to the car/toilet malfunctions - I'd recommend cake, chocolate and rum with the tea. And then a nice lie down.

    Hopefully today has been better.
