Mrs Smith is moving

Well, we've made it to the end of the year and it was quite an eventful one really. We went to the Caribbean, our little boy graduated from his university much to our amazement, we erected a shed (a mighty expensive palatial shed), went to France, I got super fat, the Apprentice got himself properly employed, Mr Smith got himself properly unemployed, I managed half a C&G confectionery course and a broken tooth, the dog got tail alopoecia and we got the leak in the top bathroom sorted out. I think that just about sums up the excitements of our year. Just as well we don't go in for those awful round robins. I always reply to them with "nobody in prison or on serious drugs" and hope they get the hint.

On the other hand the unachievements are notable. I have not done any of my intended tasks of 2011. Actually I did finish a few things. I made three patchwork quilts, a zillion lavender bags and almost finished the Bayeux Tapestry; there's a teeny bit of mast to fill in; the little men and little horses are getting cross as they can't sail straight. I will sort this out for them later today.

Today is planting day. My mother gave Mr Smith a vine for Christmas that, according to the label, produces grapes suitable for both eating and wine making. That'll tbe fun; we will invite you all to the first pressing in our bathtub in September - clean feet only please.
Firstly, I have to dig a big hole, whilst he looks on, add fertiliser and sexy compost then replace sods. Mr Smith will then be fatigued and require a cup of tea following this strenuous activity. Oh he's so lucky to have a wife to do these things for him.

New blog location for New year: Mrs Smith's Olympic Blog.

I have done this so you can just click on it and whizz straight there.  However if you are on any fruit machines e.g. Apple or Blackberry this might not work - it didn't for me.
