Still got the blues!

My apologies for a lack of blogging for a while! I haven't had a great deal to say I guess :o) I'm also actively trying to spend less time on the PC. I spend a good part of my day at work on the computer & when I get home I just need a break from it. Using the mouse for prolonged periods also gives me wrist & elbow pain which is not good. It should also encourage me to spend more time stitching... well, that's the idea anyway!

Talking of stitching, I'm still plodding away with my blues:

I'm officially celebrating a finishing of page 2 HD! Yay :o))) I can now get onto page 3 where the head of the princess starts, so I can finally get to stitch some non-blue colours!

In other news, my poor car failed its MOT a couple of weeks ago. It was only on 3 things, 2 were really inexpensive & the 3rd (something to do with wishbones for the suspension) weren't that expensive, but apparently its very labour intensive to remove the old ones & put the new ones in, so the labour costs made it a pretty expensive little failure. Its all fixed now though, mind you a new radiator is also on the horizon soon as my little car gets rather hot when I'm dashing up the motorway... :o(

I'm off to catch X-Men 3 a bit later with my nephew. Its been out for a while & we just haven't been able to arrange a day where we were both free to see it. It's not really Andy's cup of tea you see. I'm off from work now though for 17 days - yay!! Because, yes, its that time of year again.... it's Wimbledon! :o))))) We have tickets for court no.1 on Monday & I was also offered late ballot tickets for the men's semi finals. Unfortunately they arrived the same week my car was costing me a chunk of cash so I couldn't accept them :o(((( I'm sure we'll probably go up again though, during the 2nd week, to mingle on the outside courts and munch on a strawberry or 2 ;o)
