Fiona's Quiet Life

I was dusting.….I know.….anyway.…i wondered why i cold feel cold air com­ing through the wooden sur­round of my nice double glazed win­dow. i was just about to phone the nice Everest guy when i thought i would invest­ig­ate further.somebody in the night had tried very hard to force the win­dow open,making a mess of the lovely wood. there are very strong locks on the win­dows and they can’t be opened more that three cms any­way. also the burg­lar alarm is very vis­ible so they must have been daft but scary nev­er­the­less. also on Sunday him upstairs came across a strange man in the garden, just came down the alley way says the man…what alley way says the man. any­way him upstairs who deals with strange people all the time.…told him in no uncer­tain terms not to come back. then drove me down the road so i could get a good look at him.…wish i had taken a photo now.

that was this week but last week i had a lovely time doing boy things.…..i had daugh­ters so it was all end­less dan­cing dis­plays and sew­ing small bal­let dresses.…..boys are dif­fer­ent. it is all rugby and mar­tial arts, i went down for the usual babysit while their mother popped up to Birm­ing­ham of ROSPA related busi­ness and stayed on for a rugby club BBQ , had to watch the game first .…..daddy Chris was playing.…..i have never seen him move so fast as when my yell aler­ted him to the fact the the 4 year old was about to stray into the path of sev­eral huge thun­der­ing play­ers bear­ing down on him. chris  was sud­denly there scoop­ing him up and set­ting him down some­where away from the touch line. BBQ lovely

the mar­tial arts demo in swin­don was most inter­est­ing, they were all get­ting their new belts… young A. went up two at once.…..proud grandma here.……

then they did a demo end­ing with a mock fight between two bad­dies and a dozen goodies.….then some­how small 6 yr old A. had got quietly un-noticed behind them with a long pole and quickly had the two large black belts on the floor. he raised both arms, turned towards his mas­ter and went quietly to sit down . the audi­ence erup­ted with applause, he wasn’t bothered, he had got the job done.

My favour­ite cam­era stopped work­ing, Canon 450d.… turned out to be the lens because it worked fine with the zoom lens and with my brother in law’s lens.

Queen’s park cam­era club took part in this year’s Art in the Park .….these are some of out work on the park rail­ings, it was a lovely hot day.…..i sup­pose the organ­isers didn’t expect the sun to come out in Glasgow.…most of the exhib­its were in the glass house…oh Gd it was hot.….ice creams were selling like …well hot cakes.

why are all this years shoes bor­ing col­ours, i want a pretty pair to go with new dress for JJ’s 21^st birth­day party. black white or grey seems to be the choice, or things that look like bond­age shoes.….got a pair of them

and

now that my legs are look­ing good due to all the Zumba, long dresses are appar­ently com­ing back into fashion.

ah well i have never been a fol­lower of fash­ion anyway.
