I've not taken photos for a few days so I hadn't blogged. I realise now that I need to blog every day even if I haven't taken photos or things get forgotten.
Friday, We went looking for underbed boxes as I need to put my bedding in one since we bought more bedding. I can't find a big enough one but while we were in Tescos we saw an Ipad. We were looking at it when a lovely lad came to talk to us and answered all my questions about it. There was also a Samsung Galaxy Note tablet and he also answered our questions about that one as well.
We left Tesco without a bedding box but thinking about buying the Samsung.
I've been thinking about buying a tablet for a while as my laptop is heavy to carry when we go away.
Today we went back and bought it. It is being charged up at the moment and I am really looking forward to playing with it.
I have a great deal of thinking to do as there are so many nostalgic moments in my 65 years - nearly 66.
Tuesday 15th.
Today I have 2 photos that brought some nostalgic moments.
The first is my hair.
I had it cut today and I thought about the number of ways I have had my hair styled over the years.
I've had long hair both up and down, my up hair was either a french pleat or on top of my head in curls - 1970's I've had it medium length, Mary Quant style among others and short in various different styles depending on my mood.
I've had different colours mainly brown to blonde but now it is its own colour. If I'd been younger I would have been going green purple and red but I think I'm past it now.
The Second is Janets sewing workshop
I first met Janet when I bought an overlocker and I went for a lesson on how to use it.
It must have been at least 10 years ago.
Janet had been making Mother of the Bride Outfits for years. She was very up todate with all the latest fashions. The children were all independent so she decided to get an adult teaching certificate and teach other people the joys of sewing.
At the overlocker class she told us she was taking weekly classes and I asked to join.
Her first classes were in various village halls and we had to take our own machines but now she has her own workshop where we can go to sew and if you need to learn more.
It is lovely to have been there from the start. We have become good friends and I go and help her out with her office work and cutting out samples.
This is her workshop now.
I am on my new Kindle fire. Couldn't justify an iPad and a laptop. My IT man put me off. LOL Anyway bought this to read with and found I can go online, watch TV and I player so think of it as my mini iPad!! Enjoy it. All my friends love them. Especially playing Scrabble!,
ReplyDeleteI have decided to try and blog daily still.Was worried if you were OK! About time we chatted again. Do you have Skype? I have just changed from MSN to Skype. Take care and hi to Roland xx
That's a nice story. Can you imagine when I was 20, I was as blond as Marilyn ? xxx
ReplyDeleteI am loving this quiet lapse into nostalgia., so nice and we also learn Anne was a blonde! I have a samsung tablet, I love it for browsing and mailing while we watch TV, but I do find it a bit awkward for lots of typing and blogger seems to act up, but I think that's down to blogger not the tablet! I have just had to change to skype too, maybe we 365ers should have a joint session someday xx
ReplyDeleteI have a laptop and a Kindle. My laptop is new and came with Windows 8 which I dislike intensely. It is not very user friendly, at least for me but I keep trying. I like your 'do' Viv. I love getting my hair done (which is not often enough).
ReplyDeleteI just have the pc, daughter handed down her laptop to me but very rare I use it, dont' seem to get on with it. Love the look of that workshop, ideal for sewing. x
ReplyDeleteExcellent post, Viv! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteYou look superb. Another your great picture!
I like very much your new blog - it really is a new beginning. White is so beautiful.
You're right - we must to write every day. I'll try to do that.
Have a nice day!

I have seen a laptop with new windows 8 and its very difficult to use. Love the sewing workshop- would be great to do something like that.
ReplyDeleteHow lovely to see a photo of you Viv, I had a nice time imagining you with all those lovely hair styles, I have never been very adventurous.
ReplyDeleteJanet's business has done well and well done to you for supporting her. xxx
Peter is dithering over buying a tablet of some sort. We think that the i pad is out of our price range but I think he will end up with something pretty soon. I am very unadventurous with my hair now, it has to be quick and easy so is just long and tied back or put up. In my youth I took a lot more time with it though.
