    I am sparkly, the girls are sparkly, the cat and her feet are sparkly... my bathroom looks like Tinkerbell exploded..

    The colour is Miami mint... I normally hate green but this is so bright and delightful it is lovely and clean looking.. I didn't like it for the first few days but that is probably because it is different and I am a weirdo.. but I really like it.

    I have flung OH's rubbish out of the bathroom and made it look much neater.. I now need dangly things for the wall... I rather want some Hilda Ogden type seagulls.... I know hers were ducks.. but it is a bathroom so I need gulls.

    Fleabay or A-Z.

    OH grew up inbetween the middle of nowhere and a coastal city. He hates the things - calls them Shytehawks. Could always go for the maritime theme of swallows as they were a symbol of always returning home, too?
    I could dream to wide extremes, I could do or die: I could yawn and be withdrawn and watch the world go by.

    Dizzy as others have said, lots of hugs and astounded he could say such a thing on today of all days.

    Managed to do a 20min run this morning without coughing, yippee.
    However, had a very long reading to do in church; got through it but have coughed ever since!
    Made roast etc for MIL. Washed up.
    Had a long chat with my brother.
    Now trying to finish a report before getting the tissues out for CTM.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
