Just "stuff"

Last night I went to the first meeting of our Book Club. We read "The Book Thief" which I chose. I quite liked the book, though opinion was slightly divided, since it's not exactly a chuckle a minute being set in Germany in WWII!

Anyway we had a laugh when we weren't being all cerebral about the book n'all. I made cupcakes and no-one died after eating them (bonus!)

Good thing is, I am feeling good again today. The chemo is really being kind to me- hurrah!

Took Alex into school on the bus this morning,thought I would leave the car at home for a chance. So we get on the bus and I  put my fiver in the bus ticket machine and the driver said (wait till you hear this!!) "I can't accept that note as I didn't check it first"

AY??? It's 7:45am, the school run, do I look like a master forger to you . I didn't say that but stood there flummoxed, not knowing if I had another fiver in my purse in change, so I said "well can't you just like pretend you checked it ?" He replied, "I have CCTV on this bus, why would I want to do that?"

Have you ever wanted to punch someone for being such an arsey jobsworth? No wonder they sit behind glass!!! So I fed in another 5 quid in assorted change to get our tickets, I should have asked him if he wanted to bite each coin just in case!!!

He wrote me out a "chit" to go and claim the money back, but my parting shot as I went up the stairs in a big voice was "Jesus Wept!!" (Sorry for the blasphemy but I ask you!!).

I spent most of the day dawdling round town, Alan and I are off to a 1920's murder mystery night tomorrow, so I needed to buy a few bits and pieces for our outfits. Alan is Alan Capone and I am Carrie Crooner Capone, I'll be sure to post up some pics of us in our finery. 

I went to the National Gallery and saw the Titians , I decided to have lunch £10!!! for half an inch of soup and a tiddly sarnie, OK so the surroundings were nice but I think I have paid my share of the Titian bill ta very muchly!

Finished another mag project for CB this week, I AM doing well for me. My newly tidied craft room is making things a little easier, I am dying to get my hands on some of the new CHA releases once they wing their way across the pond - can't wait!
