I live in Scotland which is kind of renowned for it's rubbish weather. On the down side we do have a LOT of rain, but on the up side, it keeps our skin hydrated so we all look much younger than we actually are - especially in the dark, which we also get a lot of in the Winter. However, I also live right beside the sea, the wind from which isn't all that good for the skin (this is turning into an advert for Nivea!) but it usually means we don't get a lot of snow. Until yesterday.........yes, we live at the sea and we're looking out onto this!......
The really good bit is that because I work in a school I haven't had to go in today! That's right! No ordering of stupid mannequins, admiring teenagers' tattooes or taking cheek from boys who think they're God's gift to women because they turned 18 last week :-). Oh Joy!
I therefore thought I'd spend the day getting organised. I am doing a whole weekend of Craft Fairs this weekend and assumed I could take this unexpected day of bliss to get loads done....mmm.....the best laid plans. First the laminator decided to assassinate my work by melting it all over the roller (despite my best with the screwdriver there was no hope and the victim was DOA), the postman can't get to us so I've run out of clasps which should have been here on Friday, I'm down to my last foot of wire and despite the sterling efforts of my two bar electric fire the temperature didn't get above one so the glue was frozen....I know when I'm beat so it's a cup of tea and the Sex and The City box set for me! Never mind - laugh of the week came when a customer came into the shop to look at a pair of seaglass marble cufflinks (bear in mind, the marbles had probably been in the sea for DECADES and are therefore a little piece of history in themselves). She decided she didn't want them after all "because they're chipped........"
