A Guilty Pleasure.........

Hello there lovely peeps....
How do you feel after the closing ceremony and after two weeks of our splendid Olympic's. I just loved it all, although I must add I spent most days either jumping for joy or weepy with emotion........


Didn't we do so well.....
I don't think you could have wished for more...

Goodness knows how I will be, when we are in that 'Olympic Stadium', I honestly can't say whether I will be able to stay 'Put' or, I may have to do a disappearing act before Deans race...
We have checked on line and the 1500 metres is a sell out event and I can only imagine the noise and atmosphere. I am sure the old British public will get behind the Paralympic's as they have embraced the Olympic's themselves and it will be a proud and wonderful, if not humbling experience!! 


One thing at least until the games begin, I will be able to get on with some jobs, here at home hopefully!
Honestly I have just been going into work and then, I have been glued in front of the TV!!
The closing ceremony had some thing for every body, I believe.
I loved that 'Take That'  were among the celebrities performing as 'Rule the world' just happens to be my favourite song and is also taken from my favourite movie 'Stardust'.....
I guess, I am always perhaps looking for my own Babylon candle to transport me to another time and enchanting place....

Especially when I have house work to do, anyway... hehe....

(Bless Gary Barlow too)



I had a little spend at work, last week and treated my self to this 'Rosy, Posy' jug, well you can't have to many of these, can you now!
I sneaked it in of course!
I do have a thing for vases with old fashioned flowers on.....

,

I have just decided this week that in my next life I am coming back as a moggie, 
 as all mine seem to do all day is sleep and eat (great life for some)



I had better be swiftly moving on now, do you ever feel a guilty pleasure, when you blog ladies, I do sometimes........

Husbando very often emails me from his very important job, building nuclear submarines, I may add and jokes me up with words such as " are you still blogging, get some cleaning done" haha...
He's having a laugh of course and my return answer is always the same,"My idea of house work is to sweep the room with a smile"......


Along with the kindest of wishes,
lot's of lovely peeps have asked when the Paralympic's take place and a little more information on our Deano's race.......
Well the games opening ceremony begins on the 29th of August and runs till the 9th of September.
I can't wait!
Channel four is the hosting channel for the games!
I will be talking more in my next post of details for Dean!


 I do hope your week is full of Sun and flowers!!
bye for now and thank you for always popping in........

  1. Maria, I do wish Dean well. I will look out for him.
    I bet you are so excited and I am sure it will be a great atmosphere.
    I loved the whole two weeks and I was sure Take That would not be there and then they came on doing my favourite song, bless!
    better get on with the cleaning now....two weeks worth of dust round here!

  9. Hi Maria,
    It must have been amazing for you watching the closing ceremony thinking that you will be there in a few weeks time watching your son's race! There already seems to be quite a bit about him on the internet! My son is also now watching him on twitter. I can't wait until the paralympics it is such good news they have sold so many tickets over the last month. I think it will be even more inspiring than the last 2 weeks. Looking forward to hearing your experiences of it.

  14. Hi Maria: Your new little jug is beautiful and so is the kitty. I really did enjoy the Olympics, but it seemed they went by so quickly. I'm hoping I can find a channel in the US that carries the paralympics. You must be so excited for your son, wish him all the best. Thanks for leaving such kind words to me. I appreciate hearing from you..Happy Friday..Judy
