Saturday in town, a beautiful sunny day, Cassie and I had been to the movies to see Wicked! And it was really great...

Extra special of course because I was with her!

Son and other niblet, as my mom used to call small children had gone to a friend's birthday party .. 

We were going to meet up afterwards, but the town was heaving, it would have been nice, but way to many people, and everyone lining up for food from the many foods stands... Smelt so good!!! Yorkshire pudding wraps!? What??? 

They looked good! 

We hung around a while waiting for the boys...  then walked awhile, son messaged to say too many crowds and they'd see us back home..

So we got on the tram and when we got off, all four of us were on the same tram!! 

Friday I entered a tv competition, If the call came through this morning you had to answer with the words 'Santa Claus is coming to town.'

No 'hello' just those words!

So funny, I was holding my phone in a store, about to pay for something when my phone started to ring, it was an unknown mobile number... I said to the lady, hang on please... I have to take this.. answering with 'Santa Claus is coming to town!' 

It was Amazon, or not, as seemed more scam than real... And an automated recording...

The woman looked at me like I was mad!! So funny! I laughed all the way home on the tram and walking around Asda! 

There was something I needed to do today involving needle and thread! And I decided trying to thread a needle is like trying to get a cat in a cat carrier basket! Every which way but through the eye!! 

Don't ask me what made me think of this the other day... I was watching something on tv, I think? But suddenly from the deep dark cobwebby recesses of my mind I remembered my mom's electric clothes dryer! 

A big metal container, these rungs, attached on hinges at one end, clothes would lay over and hang down... Or occasionally fall down!

When it was on it was toasty warm to stand next to... Absolutely wonderful!

How did I forget this! Used to sit next to it for warmth... 

I Googled it, and came across this example, it was on eBay! Says about 1940's! But mom had hers about 70's I guess! 

Wish I could remind her about it too...

Friday I looked around an apartment... I liked it, wasn't hundred percent sure about the area, but inside was lovely... They were leaving everything! And I mean everything, actually like I did...

I went to bed feeling positive about it, making plans in my head... 

Then woke up feeling the total opposite! I did plan, in my mind to be able to get a house, and I know it won't be as near as this apartment to son here, and definitely nowhere near my other son! 

But still not the reason I changed my mind... Just felt so different in the morning, always believe, if in doubt, don't! So, I didn't buy an apartment today!
