A visit from another Blogging Friend!

Connie (AKA Meow) came to visit me at home today. She brought a gorgeous bunch of daffodils, and a pile of Elvis books, which she decided she didn't want any more, and wondered if I did. Funnily enough, I had already sold my copies of the same books on eBay last year, and done quite well for myself, so I suggested that she list her books and make some money, instead of giving them away! She also brought a copy of her CD "Songs From Around The Blog World" for me, despite my saying that I didn't think it would be the kind of music I enjoy. I Wuz Wong! Boy was I wrong....We put it in my PC and played a few tracks, and I was astonished to find that I did in fact recognise and enjoy many of them. Later on when Ken came home, he wanted to know what the CD was, and when he played it on his sound system, he came in to tell me it was great, because there were some tracks on it that he had been after for ages, but could never find them! So thank you very much from both of us, Connie!


I greatly enjoyed our time together, despite the age difference; Connie happened to mention her Mum's age during conversation, and I was mortified to hear she was my age! I do not feel old enough to be Connie's Mum - I'd rather be her friend!! We had a giggle over that. I threw a pizza together for lunch, followed by Hummingbird cake with a cuppa for me and a Coke for Connie. I put a nice cloth on the table for us to sit at:




We spent the afternoon looking at my swap cards, some of my linen, and my family photo album. We have a common denominator in our ancestry - both of us have German background, so Connie was interested to see my family tree and piccies of my great-great-grandparents. Topsy was her usual unsociable self with a stranger, but did let Connie have a brief pat before turning her back on us!
