Ticking Boxes

Well , I would like to think that we are all now set for this coming Saturdays adventure at the Constitutional Club ! At the beginning of the week I decided, instead of just putting a poster in the shop window where I work I would add a miniature drum kit [ borrowed from nephew Peter`s lad- Louis whose is nearly 3 ! ] So far it seems to have worked ! with lots of people stopping to look and read the poster- I even colour co-ordinated clothes to the MND colours of blue and orange !
The lovely lady Rhian , from the local Prestatyn weekly Journal has done Andrew proud and written a smashing article about Saturdays concert and I even phoned our local radio station to see if they would give us a plug !
When I was greeted by a friendly voice saying hello -I wasn`t sure if I had the right number or not ! So asked very politely is that the radio station and if it is could you please give us a plug for our forth coming charity concert this coming Saturday? - Of course we can -you are on air now ! Go for it ! [ nearly dropped the bloomin phone ] Lucky enough I had the poster in front of me- so I sort of gabbled on a bit- I think everything came out in the right order without stuttering [ seems to happen when I`am nervous ! ] And only a few ........erms at the end ! Proud of myself ! The D.J. promised he would give us a few more plugs throughout the week .
I had a lovely surprise on Tuesday when a parcel arrived through the post for me !
Felt like it was my birthday [ and no -it`s not!! ] Exciting opening something - Hmmm ? What could it be ? Ahh ! isn`t he gorgeous ? He has come all the way from Australia from fellow blogger Linda -thank you ! I`am chuffed to bits with him Linda ! He will be sitting on my computer desk with me- a wonderful reminder of how kind and supportive people have been, not just to me but to all our family !
Well , I have just got all the raffle prizes together and everything is sorted ready to be loaded straight into the car -the sun has just come out- so its time I went and did some serious pottering around in the garden, Jess loves getting out in the garden with me- she just loves to sunbathe !
Some dogs just have life sussed ! hope you are all having a good day !

Janet, to answer your inquiry re what animal I'd be?...I have always said that it would be an eagle, to be soaring with the breezes. My choice for plant would be a tree!
What does all this tell you? Please share.....I think.
