Day Of The Triffids Weather...

Hi folks...what's with the weather...can't make up it's mind one way or the other...a few seconds of sun followed by hours of torrential monsoon have scuppered any chance of me heading outdoors for a little break from the DIY and crivvens all that rain has caused absolute havoc...talk about a growth spurt...The Mile A Minute climber has become a Day Of The Triffids Monster...
totally out of control and seriously requiring a short back and sides...what used to be a medium sized fern wouldn't look amiss in an Amazonian Jungle...
let's not forget the carpet of weeds which now resembles a shag pile and the poor flowers struggling to hold their heads up in the deluge...
not to mention the fact that I think I may well be teetering on the edge of DIY insanity...well the symptoms are plain to see...paintbrush permanently welded to my right hand...brain even more befuddled than usual by the paint fumes...incapable of making any rational decisions and before you ask I'm currently sitting on the "leave well alone"..."don't rock the boat" fence on the colour of the walls but who knows when a moment of madness will take over and I'll be heading for B&Q for the alternative.
But first I need to head for the cubbyhole in a valiant effor to tackle this month's card for Penny Black Saturday...yes another skidding in by the seat of my pants crafty session and it's so long since I made a card let's hope I haven't forgotten how but it's not all doom and gloom news...THE RIBBON GIRL was 3 years old yesterday....HAPPY BIRTHDAY GIRLS and to celebrate they are having a fabilicious Summer Themed Red White And Blue Give-Away over at THE RIBBON GIRL BLOG...so hop on over and leave some birthday love whilst you put your name in the hat...
toodle-oo for now and I'll see you all tomorrow.
Hugs Kath xxxx
