Colour week! Final Day :( PURPLE!!

Ok, I have to start off by saying that my favourite colour in the WORLD is by far
PURPLE!
I love purple
I was once told that it was a sign that I am a confused person
sometimes hot sometimes cold...
to be honest, I don't care
I JUST LOVE PURPLE!!

This is one of my purple slippers. The other was on the foot balancing me!
I found them yesterday while clearing out a closet.
I had thought that I had lost them but I am very happy to say that they have returned!

This is Pippin my purple guitar.
I do her a terrible injustice every time I try to play her.
She has a boyfriend called Oscar who is blue.
They make beautiful music together...

This is my purple necklace that I flung up with my scarves earlier.
I know it was a gift but I get so my purple jewellery I struggle to remember who gave what!


My lovely purple jacket


I bought some new weighing scales today.
It transpires that my old scales were being very nice to both James and I and lied about our weight.
Oh well, I hope someday we will be friends!

My purple flower!
It is a hair clip and a corsage!
I love it!


This was the bag I brought to my debs
I now use it to hold my fancy pens


This is the lovely pattern on one of my dresses.
I love it!

I have really enjoyed colour week
It has been nice to notice things that I tend to take for granted.
Thanks Randi for a really fun idea!
Thanks Tif for introducing me to it!

Missing Marguerite. 14 years later.

On this day, 14 years ago, the world lost a little bit of its magic, when at 11pm, my little sister took her final breath and life changed as we all knew it. She was only 17 years old. 17 years and 19 days to be exact. As I sat here today reading all the lovely messages written about her, my heart soared with pride in the fact that in her short time with us, she managed to have such a big impact on so many people. Marguerite Mary O'Dwyer, an ambassador for mischief, mockery and for having a marvellous time. I miss her so much.

It is funny how every year there is something different that I focus on for the anniversary. I never choose my train of thought, I think the year since the last anniversary chooses it for me. Last night, I got fairly plastered on wine and when my other half went to his bed, I sat and sang along to every sad song I could think of. I had a wee chat with Mags before I went to bed and woke up this morning well rested and ready to seize the day. 
I got quite sad a…

Day 2 - 20 facts about me

I always struggle with challenges such as these, where I have to give some facts about myself. Can I think of 20 things and if so will they be any good? Pressure! Well... here goes....

1. I love letters. Not bills and what not, I mean real, news filled letters. I have a handful of people whom I write to, and they write back in return. Alas, I am not very good at replying in a timely manner! I have had penpals since I was about 11 years old. Two of which were from Belarus. Their names were Tatiana and Irena. One of the highlights of their letters were the wee boxed stationery that they used to write on. I loved it so much.
2. I dislike sheep. Immensely.
3. I have 2 tattoos. One of a fairy, and one of a fox.
4. I love ducks and foxes. And Hairy Coos.
5. I think puns are severely underrated.
6. My favourite book is Jane Eyre.
7. My favourite author is more difficult... maybe Jasper Fforde... though the compilations of Irish tales by Sinead DeValera have a special place in my heart as do …

Day 3 - My favourite quote

This is a tough one because there are a number of quotes and phrases that I try to live my life by, or reflect upon. I am not sure if I have a favourite.
My life  mantra I picked up many years ago, but I don't know where it came from.
That is 'Fuck it or Fix it'.
I use it all the time. If I have a problem then fix it. If I can't fix it then fuck it. Move on.
That is sometimes easier said that done but it does help me out a lot sometimes.

I also really like a quote by Thomas Edison.
'I have not failed. I've just found 10,000 ways that it won't work'.
It is a very comforting sentiment sometimes.

I read a book years ago called 'The Art of War' by Sun Tzu. I highly recommend it.
In that book he says 'The supreme art of war is to subdue the enemy without fighting'.
I have always like that outlook.
