I'M BUSY

I'm busy doing nothing
working the whole day through
trying to find lots of things
not to do!

I'm busy going nowhere
is't it such a crime !
I try to be unhappy BUT
I never do have the time.......la la lalalala lala lalala..


Now how many of you will think , I remember this song from an advert on the tv?  However how many like me remember this song from the film " A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court " which starred Bing Crosby and was first shown in 1949.
Fortunately for me my parent's loved films and so when I was young in the sixties and a film was shown every Saturday and Sunday afternoon around 2 pm , my mum would want to watch all the musicals and my dad all the war films! So myself and my siblings grew up loving both !
And the song above is one I remember to this day .

So have I been busy doing nothing?... well no I have been busy doing something! a sneaky peek below..

I did just say a peek! That is my new doll display cupboard delivered on Wednesday , purchased from Ikea! I will show you more another day.

 It's taken me a while to sort it out due to having a problem with my left leg all week, don't know what I have done to it but it's made it very hard to walk about for too long or put any weight on it. I've tried to get an appointment at the Doctors but nothing available until next Friday! and that was during the day but I have to work that day ! So had to make one for Monday week! when I am off, could not even manage to nab a book on the day one, despite getting up and phoning when they said at 7am , sitting in queue for nearly 30 minutes to be told none left ring tomorrow, after doing that for two days, I complained when yet again they were all gone once I got to the front of queue , to be told the Doctors have been going off sick, so there were less to do the work!
So I'm hoping that I can make it through five an a half days next week, where I will have to be on my feet for several hours a day without falling flat on my face if my leg gives out!

So because of leg issue It's taking me longer to do things, however It has made me think about things, so I have made decisions, about getting rid of more of the items, that have been sitting about doing nothing or waiting for me to have the time to use them. Let's be serious, if I've had the fabric for over fifteen years , am I going to use it?
Yes I love it, yes it would make a lovely quilt, set of curtains, cushion or whatever but will it get done?  So it's going... well most of it, there are a piece or two I'll keep for something else......

I did have a doll arrive this week, a Jerry Berry Girl who I am going to call Constance O, I've wanted one of these girls for a while and just happened to be online when Sharon put her up for sale ! So I sent an email quick and managed to nab her. Sharon called her Olive due to her big olive green eyes and the O in her name is in honour of that , but I'm calling her Constance as she's a sleepy eyed Jerry Berry doll, so to me, she is Constance as she'll be constantly tired and falling asleep!
