~Surprise flowers for Mother's Day this Morning~

This morning when walking out the front door Mr Armchair saw these gorgeous flowers at the front door........a surprise for me for Mother's Day (although they should have arrived yesterday)

How beautiful are they........lovely Paeonies and Pink Carnations

Thank You so very, very much Darling Girl

And when speaking to her later on she said I could enjoy Mother's Day all over again so I think I just might do that!!!

JoJo chose a lovely beaded necklace for me with a shell butterfly and she also made a lovely velvety card 

Mr Armchair gave me some new Body Lotion, Aerin by Estee Lauder

A little reading material here

I've been staring at this boxed set of Game of Thrones since Christmas

Obviously I stared hard enough and they are here lol

Also a lovely book by local Author Susan Southam the same Author of Velvet Pears

These beautiful books tell the story of Foxglove Spires at Tilba......

Last year my Son (who is back safely now from trekking) gave me some Champagne that we had for lunch yesterday set up by Mr Armchair

We also went and saw the 50 year celebration  of Sound of Music.......at JoJo's request!!!

Meanwhile my Sister Brigita sent me a lovely pic of her together with my Mum

so I sent one back to her of one of me and JoJo

A lovely Mother's Day and a lovely day

Hope all you Mums out there also enjoyed your Mother's Day

Till next time......Dzintra

~A Respite Weekend For Us.......and Chooky's Christmas Swap~

This weekend we had organised a much looked forward to respite for JoJo

We thought we'd have a day trip down the coast

We started off at the Blue Earth Cafe for coffee/lemon myrtle tea and lunch

We ended up at the beautiful seaside port of Bermagui where Billy Connolly filmed part of the film The Man Who Sued God

We had Fish 'n Chips here and saw a fishing boat come in.

This morning I made (gluten free) Choc Chip Muffins with Choc Chips that were organic from 

The Rustic Pantry

This afternoon I did a little on my Tilda Club Pin Cushion

 and to finish off we went for a beach walk in the late afternoon and saw the sun catching the waves

 and on the beach grass

'round the corner this piece of gum!

A lovely relaxing weekend just being 'us' and tasting the 'normal' world

We could come and go as we please

Sit for as long as we wanted without having to jump up and down

We even walked together and held hands on the beach

Something we don't normally do as one of us has to be with JoJo!!!

All in all a lovely weekend........

I have joined Chookyblue's Secret Santa Christmas Swap this year and looking forward to receiving news of who my partner is!!!

Thank you to everyone who comes over and reads my humble little blog and comments on it

I truly do appreciate it and do try sincerely to get back to everybody

Hope your weekend was a good one

Here's to another week........Dzintra xo

~Happy Birthday JoJo~

Jo Jo has just celebrated her birthday and we had a great day yesterday

By special request a Wiggles Cake for her

She loves a bouquet of flowers

A Happy Birthday Mug was one of the gifts

And a long awaited for pair of Electric Blue Suede boots

I think she has inherited her Mum's shoe fetish LOL.......perhaps I taught her!!!

And JoJo was famous for a day when a dear Blogging mate Shez blogged about her special day (a year long awaited event)

The birthday post is over here

Here is the little decoration Shez sent her

and the back of it

She then hung it on the door handle with the Christmas Decoration Shez made for her!!!

Thank You so much dear Shez......you are one awesome chick and so thoughtful!!!

We went out for Breakfast to JoJo's favourite place for pancakes

Above is the view looking through the window overlooking Clyde River

Then on to a blown up balloon

After that we dropped her off to 'work', her Day Programme for a few hours

Her Brother came up for overnight and we took him for a Bowl of Coffee

He even brought up a selection of European Beers.......in snow!!!

I even scored a belated Birthday/Mother's Day Gifts in this pink bag

along with some Paris Cushions and a Katie Melua CD

When JoJo arrived home it was a Wiggles Birthday Cake

We then went out for an early dinner so that we could see Bay Theatre Players Production of Annie

And we are taking it easy today

Hope you had a Beautiful Birthday Darling JoJo!!!

And now it will be non-stop as we await Christmas LOL!!!

Happy Weekend Dear Blogging Friends,

Love Dzintra xo

'Allo 'Allo........Bay Theatre Players

As the poster says...First cab off the rank for 2014 for Bay Theatre Players 

was the much loved 'Allo, 'Allo written by Jeremy Lloyd & David Croft

and for BTP directed by Maureen Nathan

and produced by Janet Beesley

This is the flyer that was distributed throughout the community at various places

Original sketch by June Lotzof

 

Foyer with the door leading into the Theatre

Some stills on the boards

The Cap-i-tan, Edith and Colonel (said exactly as it is written)

Rene and Yvette

The set with the Peasant's Nook at the left in front of the bay window

This is where I sat with my Partner/s observing the Cafe as a Barfly

Menu for the evening

Backdrop was a scene as close as possible from Richelieu where Maureen spends part of the year with Robert

And here I am with my dashing Frenchman Peasant Robert

With my Fellow Villager Eleanor

Edith and Yvette in the Green Room

I thoroughly enjoyed my electronic cigarette and had pics taken with it LOL

I'm not really a Drama Queen......at the after party

The original Madonna with the Big Boobies by June Lotzof

Selfies in the Green Room

Robert and Maureen after the final show at Presentations

With Jack (Gruber) the following evening

Set pulled down and ready for the next show Annie

Our FABULOUS cast

and this is what Maureen gave us all!!!

Thank you so much Maureen!!!

It was such a pleasure to be a part of this production

I normally don't do comedy and just stick with musicals and play an extra and partake in the Chorus

but when asked if I would like to sit in a French Cafe as a Barfly how could I resist!!!

See, I'm not really a Drama Queen LOL!!!

Now it's some R & R at home while I deal with some health issues and Mr Armchair helps with Jo Jo's care!!!

And now I go like a Phantom into zee night!
