it was complete with a guitar playing vicar
This weeks Project Flickr is graveyards, so I had 2 nearby options, either go into town and do the graveyard in Chelmsford Cathedral or All Saints Church (hee hee it even has Sunday services that you can download! BTW I will not be downloading them ;o)) which is very nearby.
As I didnt fancy going into town we (or rather I) walked and Evie sat in the buggy ;o)
When we got there there was a banner outside advertising their Summer Special, so I had a walk around the graveyard deciding what would make a good photo when an old lady came out and asked if I was "lost" so I told her no and that I as just having a look around.
She then told me about the "summer special" and how it was on at the moment if we wanted to go in, I thought to myself why not, Evie will enjoy herself...
...there was a horseshoe of tables and we went to the first one which was "treasure box "decorating ;o)
there was also "coloured sand" to make patterns on paper (we didnt get time to do that).
We also didnt get time to do a bag for Evie either, but we did do a fan ;o)
It then ended with singing songs...
...my god is big (which I didnt know) and hes got the whole world in his hands which I only knew the chorus to.
And then there were prayers.
It reminded me back to when I was 17 and me and my friend Emma got talked into by another friend going to the Pentecostal Church Youth group and we both said that if they start praying we are getting out of there...
...of course they did start praying but we couldnt really sneak out ;o) and our friend said after that it wasnt normally "that bad" still, we didnt go back again ;o)

smoking hot power adaptor
This morning just as James was leaving for work he told me that the rocker switch on the power adaptor for the laptop was broken so he had unplugged it.
So remembering this I plugged it back in and turned on the laptop and then I heard a crackling noise and smoke was coming out of the back of the power adaptor so I switched it off (after it had stopped crackling as I didnt want an electric shock!).
I texted James and told him and now he is hassling me to check ratings and stuff!

14 days to upload
Almost three weeks ago I did a video motion picture of Evie in the back garden using my smartphone.
I uploaded it using the flickr app, then it stopped uploading it two weeks ago when I uploaded a photo for project flickr so I started uploading it again and it finally uploaded yesterday ;o)
All in all it took two weeks to upload!
and here is her toy buggy full of stones ;o)

We have a shoot
I have been watering the plant that Evie did when we went to Hyde Hall on Friday...
...James was saying only the other day that he didnt think that it would grow because it was too wet!
Well this morning I saw a shoot in the plant pot ;o)
Evie was more interested in watching Mr Blooms Nursery than posing for a photo ;o)

Wolverhampton?
Yesterday I was looking at the built in news & weather app on my phone and saw that for my location it said Wolverhampton!
And when I looked (much later) on at the BBC weather app that said that I was in Wolverhampton too - I wouldnt mind but I havent been out of Essex for ages.
On Friday me & Evie went to Hyde Hall with some of the other Mums.
We had a fantastic time...
Evie (well I made the plant pot out of newspaper) but Evie put the soil in and the lady put some coriander seeds in and Evie put the soil on the top and happily carried t around with her until she ate her lunch ;o)
She had her lunch and was then playing in the tree house there ;o)
We then looked around the craft fair there and I bought a few things
The first thing I bought was a snail from Wood Like to Play
then I bought some passion fruit curd from the Victorian Kitchen
and finally I bought Evie a little bag ;o)

posh kettle
Yesterday we took our old kettle back.
While I was looking at clothes (they have 25% off all clothing and accessories until Monday) James decided to look at the kettles, and he came back with a posh one!
Hee hee I have just made myself a cup of green tea with it and it was nice to have a fast boiling kettle again ;o)
As Evie now likes to help, I have utilised her eagerness and she now puts the spare toilet rolls onto the stack of them in the bathroom for us ;o)
She has done this twice for me now...
...the first time she was trying to undo the toilet roll first, but she carried on putting them on for me, and yesterday the stack was down to two so I let her put some more on for me, she had a huge smile on her face ;o)
