It's Wednesday, What's on your Worktop?? #801 #802, #803, #804,

 Happy WOYWW!? Well, there's nothing on my worktop that wasn't there last time I posted, as I've had no internet...well, it was there but for some reason my laptop couldn't find it! Meanwhile, I have been sorting out all my crafty trollies and wheely things, hoping I can get some order into my very chaotic messy crafty space...which of course, at the moment, has been for a few months now, taking up the whole of my bungalow... so...

   The above picture shows three of the trollies in the living room. Mostly papers in one, books to alter and play with, or make into glue books in another, plus all my paints (nearly) in the taller one, along with stuff to use on the Geliplates... All the papers and pages  and cut outs and coffee/tea stained papers etc, I've been saving, are in boxes in the bedroom, so I will be sorting them out next. 

 I've also been filling up my two small Tim Holtz  'District Market' binders with any TM scraps or simular papers I could find, making pockets and side tucks, not finished yet... Meanwhile... (back at the ranch)...

 ... who has an Air Fryer? (The above one was on sale but has gone back up again) I've been told to get one, seeing it's just me and I don't want to use the oven for just one thing. Most things I microwave. John was going to get one... but....he ran out of time, so didn't. I also need a new telly for the kitchen, as the one that's there now, has no picture, only sound...So apart from hedge cutting and mowing...binge watching You tube and Netflix, well, that's what I've been up to! Thank you for stopping by.

Tea stands for Tuesday, on a Wednesday

Hot Chocolate with fluffy milk 

 Hello! Yes I need some Hot Chocolate with fluffy milk to calm me down! And yes, once more I've been off line for ages....and I mean off line. First my phone was doing weird things... then I decided to turn on my laptop, which I hadn't opened in a few weeks, to find it was on, in a panic and having a hissy fit too! Mouse wouldn't work (I'm hopeless with that finger swirly thing, I need a mouse) so the laptop, was telling me there was no internet connection. Odd. Well, anyway, as you can see, it's working now, took ages, so it's now time to catch up...

  

 First my moan of the week or the month, as the above no sugar tea/berry drink, which comes in all sorts of flavours, and in bottles too, is no longer going to be sold at my local Tescos. Did a bit of hunting around yesterday and found some at Waitrose,  and at a Tesco Express... dearer of course. So, Aldi stopped their  Cold Press drinks . Loads of different smoothies instead...but loads of sugar too.

 Showing one of  the Cold Press Drinks
  So I expect to go back to wizzing up my own again...
last weeks breakfast
I've added Jordans extra nutty, to my mixed up cereal now...more nuts, with oats... and there's one of the Smoothies in the picture too. Sorry there's no real Tea in this post for  Tea Stands for Tuesday, but if you pop over to Al
tered book Lover I'm sure you'll find some mugs! Sorry I'm sooo late!  Thank you for stopping by!

A Very Quick T stands for Tuesday!

 

 It's still Tuesday...so Happy T stands for Tuesday! Once more I have two four legged friends staying, having great fun (not me!) in all this rain! And Thursday, I'm off house/dog sitting but not for long....So, here's what I can add to T stands for Tuesday...my 'boring breakfast', as always...and now that I've found out that Aldi no longer sell my favourite Cold Press drink, I think I'll go back to making my own. Just have to use up what I've already bought from Tesco's...something simular, while it's half price, once it goes back to its real price, that'll be it!

What they did have in Aldi was a Milk Frother. Over the years I've had a few of them, they don't last long, so if I see one that's a bit cheaper than it normally is... it jumps into my basket! Yes, I know it looks like whipped cream, but it's milk (Hot Chocolate) ...lovely and frothy! I haven't any other drinks to show this week, so will wish you a very Happy T day!! Pop over to Elizabeth and Bleubeard and see more! Thank you for stopping by.

WHat's In Your Worktop WeDneSday #800!!!

 Yes! It's WOYWW #800!!! Can you believe it!? Above is how my worktop is now, today. I was going to try and 'do something crafty' but ran out of time! So, I'm showing you my very first WOYWW Desk from waaay back here!  in 2010/02/! when I used the bigger bedroom...I can't make the pictures any bigger, but you can see, my work top is just as messy!! In fact....there's a lot of the same stuff in these older pictures. Maybe it's time I had a VERY BIG clear out!

Then I found these pictures from 2011 when we made something to swap and I made "my craft room in a box"
I was quite chuffed with this make, 'specially adding that spider!
As you can see, it's still a messy craftroom...but super tiny! So!! pop over to Sarah's Craft Shed and see what everyone else has been up to!Happy 800th WOYWW!? Thank you for stopping by!

T stands for Tuesday, Taps, and a dickyTv,

 Morning, afternoon and evening! or....some time in the night. Forgot to post to Elizabeth and Bleubeard,  didn't I? Bit busy. Leaky taps, telly on the blink, sound but no picture...Rat attacks...but I won't go into that! And, four footed friends visiting. My normal fruit and veg drinks have been out of stock for ages again...I'll have to buy in bulk! I did go back to a  different MockingBird Raw Press... containing, Kiwi, Kale, Broccoli, Apple, plus vitamine C. And I did also whizzz up my own recipe, with added milled Flax Seeds, but forgot to take a picture, so.... Here's a couple of drinks sent from Sis in law, who's been away somewhere hot for the last two weeks...lucky devil!
Another 'T' I'm adding here is all about water, is my new tap fitting, the old one was leaking badly...and took me ages to get off the tap, so now, no more leaks!
The electrician came last week...and fitted an outside double plug, so I can reach the top of the garden with the electic mower. (The battery one doesn't like the rougher grass and the petrol one went to the tip months ago)  
 And of course I can use it for other things as well. I also wanted him to look at the pond, which keeps fusing, so hasn't run for months. If turned on to activate the water fall and pump, it lasts for about 30 seconds and the fusebox in the garage turns it off. In the end, I decided it wasn't worth it, and to leave it, but he said, 'Well, turn it on, and let me see,' Guess what?? It's now been on for over a week!! Which is why I bought the new tap thingy, as the water in the 'well' (an old dustbin) empties out quicker than the flow from the pond fills it up... so there's a cock and ball thingy, which opens up to allow extra water in when it is needed. The yellow hose above travels under ground to  the 'well' and the green hose is attached to the garden hose and is not switched on. 
We also had a village garden/house/garage sale, but I chickened out and had a wizzy-fit as most of the stuff was John's... so I packed it up and instead had a walk around the village and bought two baragins of the week, A long armed pruner plus saw attachment, still in its packaging for £8 (they're normanly about £50 new) and this four drawer little storage box for £3. Bargain! I might paint it later.

Two more pictures....one of the four pawed visitors...Rose.

 and the last of my Tomatoes...

Not a lot of tea but just 'time' doing stuff! Sorry I'm soooo late, pop over to Altered Book lover where you'll find proper crafty stuff! and join in! Thank you for stopping by!

WOYWW?
