Put pink streaks in my hair . (wow 29 years on and still love them lol due for another set of pink bits at the end of the month :-) )

Apologies for the lack of posts this week. There are a number of factors -

1. I am sure the world is turning faster and the 'authorities' have not put it in the press yet. I get home from work between 18.00 & 19.00 hours.... before I know it it is 22.00 hours. And all I have done in that time is cook tea, wash up, speak to my Mum, walk the dog, put washing in, take washing out etc etc

2. My internet provider is intermittently awful

3. My old boy computer is loosing its virtual memory ... old computer home for this old friend soon I think?... gosh I hope it can't read what I have just written!

4. Lappy top is permanently stuck to teens lap

5. Trying to get ahead of myself at home before I am a one armed bandit for a while (got a letter from the hospital today that says I will probably be in a sling for 6 weeks.. not the 8 weeks that he told me yipeee)

6. Then there are these guys ..... lovely cuddly teddies with tales to tell. Trying to get a bear to stand up in pink satin shoes is not easy and because of 2 & 3 above not been able to download them..... what should take seconds takes ages and I lose patience ... pop along they would love to chat :-)



However, all seems a bit more stable tonight on the PC front ... long may it remain

I LOVE your pink streaks. if I were a blonde that's the colour I'd have.

OK DP ... oops Prince Charming (sadly deluded but there you go lol).... knitting patterns are the new black... you know how forceful Busy and Snowy can be ;-)

Annie ~ last night old PC was particularly awful... kept freezing. Must look at what you sent me on lappy.. yes I have lappy teen is Lazer Questing :-)

Miss you too gal.
Seeing my bro at the weekend I will ask him what he thought of your lovely work

70steen said...

Shinade ~ thankyou so much I will nip over now whilst I have the lappy
:-)

70steen said...

Thank you dear NM ~ I don't think the streaks of pink I put in in the 70s looked as good as those on the photo earlier this year. I used red food dye lol
Do you still have your cool yet firey flashes of red??

fracas said...

Dear 70s. I haven't read much of the comments, but could I please just take this moment to ask that you please try incorporate more knitting patterns into the Dear Teddy blogs? You know there are such cute little outfits for Teddies out there... I've started a collection...

Please... the fans want knitting patterns. Crochet too if you like!

{{And you know, perhaps if Grumpy Ted had a lovely knitted jacket and tie, he'd feel better and not be so grumpy?}}

Daddy Papersurfer said...

Fracas - I'm taking notes you know!

Busy Bear said...

Do you think you could knit me a shirt please....I'd like to cover up the stoopid bra my cuddler is making me wear.


Yes DP...I said CUDDLER!!!

fracas said...

You're taking notes DP? I thought that was my job...

or am I the boss and you the secretary now that we've both done that quiz and found out I'm 60/40 male/female and you're 50/50 male/female.

Not that I think bosses have to be male or anything...
