It's been a busy old time of late but I found time this morning to knock up a quick card for the latest challenge at Less Is More, the theme is Up Up and Away. I have shamelessly stolen an idea that I saw being demonstrated on Create and Craft this week and adapted it slightly. Here it is.

So what have I been busy with you may ask? I caught up with Dad for a pub lunch last week and afterwards finally viewed the photos from his recent trip to the Antipodes. I don't think I told you that he did a bungee jump whilst in NZ...not bad for an old geezer! Whilst being briefed, a staff member asked how old he was and when he replied 'seventy five' he got to jump for free, thus saving himself $200! Result!
I've also had several lunches with friends and been to the local theatre to see The Illegal Eagles, also with Dad. Thanks to the fine weather the garden has seen some action (not that sort Curtise!) and it's great to see new shoots emerging. There's also been some crocheting. As the forecast for today was good, I hauled my backside out of bed just after 7 a.m. and got myself down to the local car boot sale.
Here's what I bought
two brand new, bone china Morris Minor mugs 50p each, Country Living mags 10p each
filing tray £1, picture for child £1, tray of nicotianas £2, 'Tippex' 50p.

I'm really pleased with the filing tray which has restored a little more order in my craft room, the 'Tippex' is needed for my homework. I have been having tuition in French for over a year now to improve my command of the language and homework is set by my tutor after every lesson. It is usually accompanied by much swearing and crossings out, so Tippex will improve the appearance of my work, if not the content.
Recently I was asked to try to translate the lyrics to this song as it was being sung!
Trés difficile....but I loved the 70's fashions of the French version of our Young Generation and les pantalons of Monsieur Fugain.
Unfortunately, I am unable to upload the video as the embedding has been disabled but you can watch it by clicking the link below...it's worth a look for the dance moves alone!
