Oops I Did It Again!

On multiply, I wrote about a rug that I'd bought hoping that it would hide some of my dog's hair only to discover the rug lost more 'hair' than Zara did. I don't remember how long I put up with this rug, which I eventually threw out. It wasn't the kind of thing that I'd give to someone I didn't particularly like let alone to a friend. Not too long after getting rid of this annoying rug, I saw another rug marked down in a shop that was going out of business, and decided it was for me.  

Now this one has several perks apart from the price. I like the colour and it combines well with any colour I decide to put in the room. Naturally I'm not going to use dark colours, since those make a small room even smaller, so the colour is perfect. Although I always wear socks to bed in winter, it's still nice to put my feet on a nice soft rug instead of the bare floor. What's not to like you may ask? Because it's so thick, anything you drop on it either buries itself or gets camouflaged. Despite this flaw, it's a keeper. I'll try not to drop anything like a needle or pin or anything sharp and dangerous on it!

Tomorrow  is a holiday for us, and I know either later on today or tomorrow I'll have to listen to a detailed and then repeated version of a flat owners' meeting I couldn't attend on Monday evening. I was so not upset about missing it. At least I have an extra day to do some of the things I want to do (hopefully). 

We're supposed to have some big rain storms today, but so far only have big clouds. Only another week until Easter holidays. I hope it doesn't rain out all the processions like it has in the past. Easter comes a bit early this year to ensure a bit of good weather. And then there are the 'Fallas' in Valencia which end tomorrow night with big bonfires to burn the 'fallas' or monuments that they've spent all year constructing, with lots of noise and fireworks, so hope they don't get rained out.

Happy St. Patrick's Day and hope everyone  has a good week.

  1. Hi Brenda................thanks so much for your good wishes, I'm just off to bed and then hospital first thing in the morning. I'll be in touch when I get back and hopefully, eyes permitting, I'll spend a bit of time here catching up with the posts I missed. :-)

  2. Hi Brenda! I like the rug! It does look like it will work with any color you might try in there. I found out from Theresa, yesterday, that Multiply is still up and working. She is still blogging there. Have you heard anything about it? Hope the weather holds for the Easter celebrations. Wishing you a good week!

    1. Yes, I know multiply is still open as I haven't deleted my account. There was a notice to say we had until the end of March to export our stuff, so we'll see if we're locked out one of these days.

    1. I'll really start complaining when it gets hot. Give me autumn weather any day. We did get a bit of rain yesterday, but not the amount that was predicted and certainly not like the gusher we had recently.

  4. the rug is a nice adition to your room, and a nice warm cosy colour. Multiply has been up and down for a couple of days. It went away a couple of days ago, the computer screen went completely white if you tried to click onto it and every one thought it had finished. Then it returned the following day but now, you get the new Multiply selling site, the old one is completely gone, quite sad really. And I've checked on all the posts I imported over here, they have all the pictures missing now that Multiply has gone. I didn't think that eport tool would work properly with the pictures.

  5. When I exported from Y360, the photos weren't ther.e either, so I knew that would happen when multiply finally cut us off.

  6. Like the rug, Brenda. Glad you have a day or two off. I'm doing the babysitting thing and being worn out but happy taking care of my grands.
