home to lots of retail shops and Hobbycraft...
all set up waiting for the hordes of shoppers to arrive...
Mr Fuse was kept very busy....
strutting his stuff...
and showing off his versatility...
Thanks to Michelle and the lovely staff at Hobbycrafts for their hospitality...I had a fun day but all too soon it was time to head back on the tram to my temporary place of residence for one more night. I arrived to find a wedding in full swing and a small boy in floods of tears because his Mum & Dad couldn't tie his bow tie...Grandma Fiskars to the rescue...as I fiddled adjusted and got it sitting just right...he looked into my eyes and asked my name through the sobs...had to giggle when I came back down for dinner and he shouted at the top of his voice across the foyer....Hiya Kath...think I made a little friend there.
Ever the optimist I headed off to bed...peace and quiet outside until my rude awakening at 4.30am by a woman outside on her mobile phone...with a voice like hers I doubt she really needed the phone...got me wondering whether she was coming home or going to work...could feel myself dropping off again when the man with noisy road sweeper turned up...if you can't beat them join them...just time to fit in another city centre stroll before I left the beautiful but not sleep friendly city of Sheffield.
Sadly the journey home was a long boring tiring affair...a distinct contrast from the fun "passed in a flash" journey down...sitting opposite 3 sour faced obsessed I-Pad and I-Phone users who were obviously not interested in the art of conversation...7 hours of silence for chatterbox me was a real pain in the ass and it makes you wonder why God gave us a voice in the first place...in the world of evolution...a million years hence the human voice box may well shrivel up and disappear and we'll be back to communicating by grunting again...makes you think doesn't it.
See you all tomorrow

Fabulous post Kath. I love the pictures of the ladies and doesn't Anne look very glamorous. She is such a lovely friend and I think the world of her too. Hugs Rita xxx

ReplyDeleteThank you Kath for a lovely start to my day, between your wonderfull photos and your tales of what went on in the city I had to laugh, We folk who live in quite places do get a shock when we end up in noisy hotels etc. yes I do think you are right about the voice box being lost in the future.

Каждый раз читая Ваши посты я получаю заряд энергии и позитива! Сегодня смеялась так, что муж и сын прибежали узнать что случилось... Спасибо К сожалению современное поколение NEXT не особо любит, да и не умеет уже РАЗГОВАРИВАТЬ. Общаться да. а вот разговаривать не хватает даже слов, они их просто не знают :-((
ReplyDeleteСпасибо и за настроение, и за общение, и за новые знакомства :-))
Each time reading your posts I get a boost of energy and positivity! Today was laughing so that my husband and my son came running to find out what happened ... Thank you Unfortunately the current generation of NEXT is not particularly love, and do not already know how to talk. Yes chat. but the converse is not even enough words, they simply do not know
:-( (
Thank you and for the mood, and for communication and for new friends :-))
I am still smiling too Kath, it was so lovely to meet up with you again. Love the story of the little boy, how very sweet of him to shout out to you like that. It wasn't 150 miles, only about 45 or so but it would have been worth 150 to spend time with you again! Hugs, Anne xx
ReplyDeletePS - thank you Rita, you made me blush......
Ooh what lovely goodies you made,lucky customers!
ReplyDeleteI agree sometimes you can barely get a squeak out of some folks-it is hard to be silent when you are a nice chatty person-and that was a LONG journey home too!

Sounds like a great time. Why do people have to stand in corridors on their phones, no thought for others at all xx
ReplyDeleteHi Kath - lovely photos and so good to see Anne on one of them - she's such a wonderful lady!!! The little boy sounded so sweet too - bless! Big Hugs Rachel x
ReplyDeleteHi Kath, pity the no sleep spoiled your lovely time down there, glad to hear there was lots of crafters in to see you. The fuse machine looks great, would Santa be delivering any of these this year do you think? That wee boy may well remember your good deed for the rest of his life, we all remember good things. My pet hate is sitting down in a restaurant and everybody whips out a phone and the fingers start sliding over the screens before they even look at a menu, it then has to lie on the table in front of them just in case they get a call. They can't all be ON CALL can they? As you say no conversation, only a screen...Trish
