Brown Rice and Sandals

Last night I decided to catch up on the Sunday supplements, thought it would be nice and relaxing errrrrr how wrong could I be???

Was reading the Sunday Times Mag (oohhh hark at me with my matching shoes!!) and there was a long article about global warming which I started to read. Listen my friends by the end of it I didn't know what to do with myself............it was SOOOOOOOOO SCARY I almost jumped up and called Al Gore himself ( the new saviour of the planet)

Basically it ran through all of the totally plausible scenarios for global warming based on climate changes of 1 degree to 6 degrees and it is not good. Basically if we don't do summat radical RIGHT now the consequences are horrendous ranging from flooding, millions of people becoming refugees and starving to death to basically most humans, animals and plants becoming extinct all within the space of a 6 degree increase in temperature!!!!!!!

All I can say is early this week I wanted to punch David Cameron for suggesting we go to Butlins for our hols instead of jetting off to the Sun...........but now I am ready to embrace the nearest red coat and chuck my tumble dryer on the tip...........

Genius

Get a load of this photo, now I HATE having pics of me I suppose most people do, but on Sarah's retreat last weekend I met Anita Mundt for the first time and she was doing photo shoots and look what she did - I could weep for I am not photogenic at all and I am sooooooooo chuffed with this. A very big thank you to her.

This was the first retreat I had taught at and I had a great time, all those involved were just lovely. Jools did us all proud again with her fab cooking ably assisted by Sarah's Mummy Wendy.

Sarah, who is pregnant with twins for goodness sake did a great job with her goody bags AND she hauled all her gorgeous stock with her of which I did partake (what a surprise.......) A great time was had by all.

One more sleep to go

Yep I am teaching at my very first retreat tomorrow, Sarah of Sarahs Cards is running her 2nd bumper retreat this weekend and has kindly asked me to teach a class for 50 ladies (yikes!) Hope they like me and don't throw rotten tomatoes at me. I am lined up against the uber talented Julie and Anita so wish me luck. Also it seems my Dad is well enough for my Mum to come along too, AND my replacement crocs arrived so I am a happy bunny!

I also managed to teach my first Photoshop one day course at work this week, it seemed to go well, can't be bad eh? being paid to learn and teach such a fab piece of software.

Anyway, gotta dash got 50 kits to make up for tomorrow, hopefully I'll get chance to post some pics tomorrow
