Dear Blog,

Today I took Oscar for a walk, as we were walking down the streets all you could see was alot of tagging done on fences. It was dreadful because i bet that the fences that were tagged was the tagger fence. Back in my day the only graffiti used was for paintings or sculpture or any type of art work created. Some of the tags you couldn't even read, assuming that they are meant to be names of some sort, all it looked like was scribble. Personally i would prefer if the tags were part of an artwork than graffitied all along the street. You'd get annoyed if you painted your fence and then the next day you see some idiot tagged your fence, i'd be furious.

lazy afternoon

Dear blog,

Today I spent the day gardening, pulling all the weeds out and planting seeds, good little Oscar playing on my small lawn, running round and round. I spent the whole moring in the garden, the weather was perfect, not too hot and not too cold, it was just right. I went inside and sat down in my rocking chair with my knitting gear rocking back and forwards, back and forward, I ended up dosing off for a few hours which was nice just to relax and no i wasn't dying. I enjoyed my lazy afternoon nape, ended up doing a little bit of knitting, i made a couple of socks, good for my granddaughter who loves wearing what i knit.

too HOT!!!

Dear Blog,

Today was such a nice day, the sun was out and Oscar was chatty today. I woke up and the sun was up and my room was getting warm, i went outside and i felt like i was toasting in the sun so i couldn't do any gardening or anything. I am not sure how much i drunk as i was so dehydrated. Just because i am old doesn't mean i can't feel hot. My poor body was sweeting and poor Ocar ended up laying flat out on the tiles in the kitchen all day, I tryed to go out and do things but everytime i got into the sunlight area i started to cook and i could feel my skin cooking as it went red very fast. So all day i watch soaps on T.V. and nitting which i finished a jersey and i scarf which i thort was a good effort as it was toasting inside aswell as outside. I hope the next time its hot it's not as hot as today.

wardrobe madness!!

Dear Blog,

Today I was looking through my wardrobe and well what i found was incredible, I decided to clean my wardrobe out as i have clothes in there which i don't wear anymore. I found this massive dress i wore back in the 50s, it was huge, like wearing a massive sheet but heavier. I also found some interesting 70s clothes too which I'm sure someone of my age is still wearing. But I'm sure my granddaughter might be interested in wearing them, there is a few skirts and very nice dresses for her. About lunchtime i started going mad as i was only half way through, my wardrobe is massive, I needed a massive wardrobe with my husband (may he R.I.P.) we were always going out to functions. Anyways by 2 o'clock I had enough and gave up, so my wardrobe is just over half empty which is good to see some space in there for over 60 years. Oscar was getting excited when i went through my bits and bobs, dat is one happy puppy who gets excited over small things. 

What happened today???

Dear Blog,

Today I was walking down the street to the mall when i almost got hit by some young holagon driving one of those boy toys. What happened to watching out for progestrions?? I'm just a poor inocent olderly lady, I almost feel over and hurt myslf. I am very fragile with my bitter bones, other than that i was shocked as back in my day everyone had to look after the olderly where we had one day a week to visit and admire the olderly. But now its like no one cares what happens and it's look out for yourself. No one even stop asked if i was okay or if i was hurt, shocking as no one shows any interest anymore, pitty really because we all need people in our lives. I left Oscar at my house as im not allowed to bring him in the mall and well i dont trust anyone if i tied him up and left him outside. So he spent a few hours locked up until i got back he was so excited, barking away, so for him behaving so well while i was gone i threw the stick around the front yard to tired him out again lol puppies don't tire easy. But after a few hours he was all sleepy which made the rest of the afternoon easy.

Dear blog,

Today I went into a pet store to look for a new pet, they were so adorable that I wanted to take all of them home, I've been thinking about buying a pet animal since my husband died back in 2000. It gets a bit lonely when my family doesn't visit all the time and well most of my friends aren't around anymore"may they R.I.P. "  Anyways as I walked round the store looking at kittens, puppies, birds, mice, fish and what ever else they had in the store, I came to the choices of either a kitten or a puppy. I could only afford one as I had to buy the food and toys it needed. After about two hours i decided to chose a puppy as shown in the photo. For some odd reason he caught my eye and so i bought him and a few chew toys, food and a collor with chain. 

When I got him home i named him 'Oscar", he raced round the house sniffing everything in site, thank god he didn't pee on anything. So now I got to remember to walk him, I feel i've done the right thing by saying a homeless animal.

Dear blog

Today was an interesting day, I decided to sew a new jacket I bought a while ago, its such a nice looking jacket/coat. As it was missing a few buttons, I hunted around my house looking for all the different types of buttons I had lying around and what i found was amazing. There were square shaped buttons, triangle shaped buttons and oddly enough there were rectangle shaped buttons, but after looking for about an hour and a half, I found these really nice war type buttons which suited the coat quite well. The original buttons were much bigger than these so I had to make the button hole smaller which only took a few minutes. I was getting happy with how my coat was turning out so I quickly finished it up and tried it on to make sure it fitted, which it did. 

Now I've got to keep it away from my granddaughter as i know she will be interested in it. I do alot of hand sowing and sowing. I've made hats, scarfs, socks and all sorts of other clothes. It's more of a hobby than a chore. Anyways using a sewing machine is a piece of cake for myself as i've done it for about 70 odd years. Well I am off to do some more sewing, this time it's a peggy coat.   

today

Dear blog,

Today i spent time with my family, I showed them all what i have learnt so far and they were impressed most likely coz i'm 95 years old. Now what to do is to think of a design or topic for what i would like to create my websites on for the assignment the class got given. Hopefully it shouldnt be too hard to design a suitable website ae.

Surely its like running a car, but time will tell. Anyways back to my day, I decided to clean my car and boy was that a mission, i found some lolly wrappers, sunglasses and god knows what else. But i am pretty sure i found some teeth which i don't thnk is mine under the seats. but now mi wee baby is cleaner than ever. Even my puppy wanted to help but she was too busy playing with the exstenshion cord.

classes

dear blog,

I have been taking computer classes and I have learnt how to set up a website. In the classes you learn about weavers and other setups to create a web page, i've surprisely learnt a small amount with computers such as using colur to put coluor on our site and changing the text style and colour for text aswell. I am still finding it difficult to understand all these different programmes on this small little box shaped television, it even comes up when you turn it on in colour or fancy background.

Before I got my computer i knew nothing, i didnt even know how to turn it on, but now i know more than i thort in such a short time and half the time i didnt even notice i knew nothing. I still get comfused with the different type of little programmes on the machine, like which programme is best for what i would like to do.

I am looking forward to the next class where we are asked to do a project to show what we have learnt and present it in our own design along with some small instructions to help our learning out. I am the oldest person in the class and the youngest would have to be around 18 or 19 years old, but thats not going to stop me from being who i am as im still up and around healthy as a bird and ready to try new things.

Hello,

today i was helping my 12 year old granddaughter with her math homework and well i don't understand why children these days need calculators these days. Back in my day we had to use our noggins to do our maths homework, its just cheating using calculators, do we want our children not having to try to work out hard equations using addition, division etc. 

I then helped her with her reading blog for school but not having to read many books is ridiculous as back in my day we had to read lots of books. school seems so much easier now than in my day its not good but more highly drugs are being used in school. 

All you see these days are school children dressed untidily walking down the drink smoking god knows what, talking so much crap these days. My day we were smacked over the hands with a belt or ruler in class. Shocking seeing these kids able to do what they like. 

  

Lets Have A Little Chat

Where should i start?

I am 95 years old and I love plants and settings of many sort, such as plants, mountains, buildings, sky. 

I struggle to keep a steady hand

 on my camera with all its fancy digital technology, there are these buttons I have no idea what they do, if I press this one thing the camera plays up and well i have no clue what to do. Luckily i have grand children who are up with the new technology.
