A TABLESCAPE

Theatre last night to see Colin Fry...the internationally known Spiritualist Medium...believe in it or not it was a great evening 
My friend Alison watches him on TV all the time and was really excited when she heard he was coming to the local theatre and wanted to go...so we went and had a really good girlie evening out and a take away before we went out....

Decided l would put a tablescape together for the evening hehehe....got all the new china so thought it a great opportunity to try it out hehe....we were so stuffed with take away no one wanted the afters though
but lots of laughs and a really enjoyable evening for us all

MY NEW WASHER WAS SICK
Bur repaired yesterday......yes only just over a month old and it broke!!!

Seems that two very important bits of plastic had not been locked in place at the manufacturers....so a 2minute job sorted it out......thanks you Mr Repair man and you came very quickly too and then went off to repair another poorly machine or two...

BUT...always a but isn't there? 
I pop a load in the machine and snaps the door shut and push the buttons for another little tune to be played..oh happy me LOL....simple things hey!....my musical machine still makes me smile
off l bounce to play tabelscapes.....admiring the scene l could hear 
gushing water
HELP!!!!!!!!

My newly repaired musical machine was emptying water inside the cupboard.....
l lept into action pushing the off button.....
another little tune played...
l wasn't smiling this time!....

screw driver in one hand and mop in the other....
he'd only gone and pulled the pipe out of the waste hadn't he as he'd man handled the machine.....oooops!

sign of relief dry cupboard and back to the 
simple and colourful 
pheeeeeeeeww!! could have been worse if l hadn't been standing within feet of musical martha!
Just 30seconds before they arrived l'd lit all the candles so it sparkled when they walked in lol 
lots of oooh and aaahs hehehe..did look pretty though lol

love it now its dark at 6 and you can light candles to eat by don't you?

great curry....but left us with lots of chocolate trifle and a cheese board for today...l'll start that diet tomorrow!
BACK DOOR OUT SOON...

  3. Your table is really beautiful, love the cloth and the pink mats.
    Did the Medium pick out you or your friend?
    Thank goodness you didn't switch on the washer and then go out. Mod cons are great when they are working............
