My daughter Gem aka ~rainbowblossom managed to get voluntary work at the National History Museum in London, helping a curator with one of her loves, fossils!
It's going to cost her into the bargin but the experience outways that one

Sorry... just had to share

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/28140191/ http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/28140191/ Wed, 04 Nov 2009 10:15:57 PST

Well... it was last night at Pink's gig!!
[link] even she thought so

Amazing, knocks spots of others seen

Not managing to get too much done on here lately & the numbers still keep rising

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/27866668/ Tue, 20 Oct 2009 05:45:03 PDT

So i finally got around to making my 'upright' shed... just a 5 shelf storage really, just the doors,roof/windows & shelves to go

Today's the first day off i've had for a while so as per.... lot's to catch up on! It's due to rain again tomorrow

means i actually get to sew

not touched it for nearly a fortnight

So many thanks to all you wonderful peeps out there for all your

s & support.. it is most sincerly appreciated

Sorry for the

& run.. it's becoming a necessity now

Now to do some tackling

s to all

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/27591502/ Mon, 05 Oct 2009 05:43:05 PDT

.... that's the way i felt when we caught the last tube... & the rest of the world seemed to join us

Not one of our better trips but we did get to St.Pauls & Portobello rd, which i've wanted to do for years & worth the effort!
Lot's of 'reasonable' shots but it'll probably be a year before you get to see them

seeing as i'm at least that far behind

Hope your wk/end was good

s to all.

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/27480882/ Tue, 29 Sep 2009 06:03:15 PDT

.. it seems my time here is getting shorter again

I get very tired quite quickly nowadays & find my 'staying power' not staying

The one thing i always find 'daunting'... sorry to say is the journals

i just can't keep up with them & the rest... so i'm afraid they have to go. I shall try to answer as many as possible but 'leftovers' will be deleted

Away for a few days again very shortly (London, anniversary)... lets hope the 'staying power' hangs around a little

I'd like to thank all my wonderful supporters

your all amazing & all your comments/fav's are very much appreciated

Take care all

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/27256691/ Thu, 17 Sep 2009 03:57:07 PDT

Don't know about you but i love it

Nothing much happening here... seem to be on a 'go slow' for some reason

Hope your all well out there

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/27144192/ Fri, 11 Sep 2009 03:42:31 PDT

Anyone know why??

http://scotlandaddict.deviantart.com/journal/26727053/ Fri, 21 Aug 2009 04:27:28 PDT

It's your community.

Just blew me away... can't believe the visists this has had in a month!!

We had a good time at our eldests, across in Weston-super-mare, weather was hot & sunny

While there we paid a visit to [link] well, that was the intention

we hoped to be there in time to see the Red Arrows but alas missed them.. didn't even get to see them fly over

but then their not based far from here

so next up was at 6pm... a mass take off with the ballons

missed that one too! why... because we had been in the queue for 1hr 45mins to just get in

then there was the walk across the field to yet another... with a slight difference, this one was uphill

no signs or postings to tell you anything

a fair you couldn't miss.. finally found a 'man' that knew

managed to get a reasonable spot under a tree for a quick picnic before dusk. Then the finale... a light up spectacular! which was quite good, though we were all in agreement that it certainly could have been better

then there was just the getting out, in the dark.. no lights in the field just lot's of 'wandering' peeps!

everyone out by 11.30pm (i think), they said, well, don't know what time we got out but finally got back to son's 12.40pm

150 thousand visitors last year... you'd expect it to be better organised

On the whole... wouldn't do it again

To top it off... got some shot's but poor... as i was in the wrong setting

Just goes to show ... you can't have it all

Hope your w/end was good

GRATITUDE

...for all your kind & thoughtful comments, that were very much appreciated at our sad time

On another note...
I feel that there are some of you out there think me a 'cold fish', nothing been said no... just a feeling i get

Those that have been around here will know i'm not one for ' putting myself out there'.. i'm more your quite, private type

once bitten & all that!
I'd like to assure you all though... my feelings run very deep & i am ever thankful for all my watchers & those that comment... i would not be here otherwise

Should my comments be brief or alas i've just faved your work please.. remember this... your all valued here

Now i think it's time i put something on... not that i'm tired of looking at my daughter mind

Take care all

After 12 1/2yrs & the 3rd appearence of cancer my Father-in-law lost his long battle on Friday evening. It was a peaceful passing.

Soo i'll not be around for a while, though i'll still be doing the fav/run hit.

Take care all

Hello there... we all had a good break in Wales & it didn't rain, well.. ok... one morning we had light rain till lunch

then guess what... it was hot again

& yes... got sunburnt yet again

Friday last was my Gem's graduation (as you may have guessed

) another lovely day & everything went as it should have

a very well organized place!
So the last of my three... it's going to seem very odd not running back & forth but then, she may go back to do MSC

Maybe i should say.. she got a 'first'

well deserved too, all that hard work paid off

It's been a while since i was last here & as per.... lot's to catch up on, so it'll be the 'fav & run' job i'm afraid. Hopefully things will slow up now for a while... really need it to

Hope your all well & enjoying the

s to all.

Maybe Men too? It's a very scary world we live in & there are some very sick people out there!

Forwarded from *braveheart06 journal

PLEASE ADVISE YOUR DAUGHTERS AND PASS ON

A woman at a nightclub recently was taken by 5 men, who according to hospital and police reports, gang raped her before dumping her. Unable to remember the events of the evening, tests later confirmed the repeated rape along with traces of Rohypnol in her blood, with Progesterex, which is essentially a small sterilization pill. This drug is now being used by rapists at parties to rape and sterilize their victims. Progesterex is available to vets to sterilize large animals.

Rumor has it that Progesterex is being used together with Rohypnol, the date rape drug. As with Rohypnol, all they have to do is drop it into the girls drink.The girl can't
remember a thing the next morning, of all that had taken place the night before. Progesterex, which dissolves in drinks just as easily, is such that the victim doesn't
conceive from the rape and the rapist needn't worry about having a paternity test
identifying him months later.

The drugs effects are not temporary- They are permanent!!!!
Progesterex was designed to sterilize horses. Any female who takes it will never be able to conceive. The bastards can get this drug from anyone who is in vet school or any university. It's that easy, and Progesterex is about to break out big every where. Believe it or not, there are even sites on the Internet telling people how to use it.
Please COPY this to everyone you know, especially girls. Be careful when you're out, and
don't leave your drink unattended. Please make the effort to pass this onto all you
know......

Guys, please inform all your female friends and relatives.
Girls, keep your drinks safe at all times, and men, look after the girls you're with. Please pass this on to all your friends and family...

[link] this tells even more about it
