*normal service resumes*

No post yesterday; I fell on the way down to school to collect the children (how much of a plonker did I feel??!!) and although I thought I was OK at the time, my left ankle swelled up like a balloon yesterday evening, and I was confined to bed with an ice-pack and some paracetamol!! It's heavily strapped today, and I can at least walk on it, which I was unable to do last night.

Anyhoo. Yesterday's mail brought a lovely parcel from America, the fruits of the international tea cup swap I'd taken part in on Swap Bot - I received the most beautiful, delicate Limoges tea cup and saucer, and a canister of pomegranate green tea, which is delish.

Do you like the black raincoat backdrop??!! Must get some black material...

Yesterday's mishap meant that I haven't made my daily visit to any of my favourite blogs, and I will catch up on all my blog stalking tomorrow!!

I've spent the evening making an apron for mum for her 60th birthday, this coming Sunday. With some help from my lovely friend Ali, I think we've made something she'll absolutely love. I'll take some photos in a good light tomorrow, and post tomorrow evening. My lovely scrapping mate Jaq over at A String Of Beads has made a beautiful set of a necklace, bracelet and some earrings for mum, and they are absolutely gorgeous. I'm thrilled, and I know mum will be. Thanks, Jaq :) Will post a pic after Sunday!

Oh! And Happy Birthday, Richie - love ya, darl xxx

P.S. I've been tagged by Rena and Roz; ladies, I will take up the tags (!!) but not 'til tomorrow!! Will have to rack my brains, though, I don't think there's anything weird about me...

sorry to here about your fall, I have made some embarassing ones in my lifetime also, so don't feel bad.
I have never had that flavor of tea, hmm, I am more of a mint tea person.
Hope to see more beautiful pics of the girls soon

Ouch! Sore indeed :( Reminds me of the time I fell flat on my face on the way to the childminder's. It was icy though, so I had an excuse and garnered sympathetic looks from all. Feel better soon *hugs*

Oooh gorgeous!!! Love the cup and saucer and that tea looks so exotic. Sorry about your ankle though, poor you. Take care xx
