Fri 13th & I've never been superstitious...

....until today when:

1. Ellie got splat on by a seagull.
2. David's iPhone fell out of his shirt pocket on to the pavement smashing the screen. (Hattie exuberant on the lead might have had a little something to do with it.)
3. Ray, Jinks and I went into a tea room and the young eager waiter tipped over a jug of milk (Jinks escaped a milk shower and whilst we were busy with serviettes mopping up was trying to lap up little milk puddles.)

So I felt a cream tea was in order. And when we came to pay we were only charged for one.

We are all now back at Sandy Paws in the cool of early evening and Ellie is going to do scrambled egg and bread and butter (sounds like nursery food) for tea and there's apple pie for 'afters'.

Now that looks delicious. It sounds like a hectic afternoon.

[Penelope Ann]

All that for one person? Yummy! Holidays really agree with you a you're looking great.

[Pat Knowles]

Sounds delightful Hazel......you have come through the day though & that cream tea looks worth everything! I can tell you are in holiday mode!

[Hazel]

@pennystot

Penelope, thank you. We did bring back our little pots of strawberry jam with some still in them!!

[Lin]

What a day! Still a lovely capture and I hope the rest of your evening went well!

[Trinda Love]

Hope the fourteenth is calmer!

[Hazel A]

Love the PURPLE hat. Looks like you are enjoying your hols despite the mishaps

[Margaret Brown]

What a day, at least you have emerged from it intact! Great sun hat and nice smile.

[wendy frost]

A lovely shot of you enjoying a cream tea hope all the mishaps are over now.

[Beryl Lloyd]

What a day of trials and tribulations !! but ended well in the end --and with the bargain cream tea -- you came up trumps in the end !!Love the hat --I look terrible in sun hats !!A beautiful selfie and the cream tea looks lush !!

[Jan Hall]

Lovely shot Hazel, and I am not surprised that hints of superstition are creeping into your mind after all those mishaps. I discovered recently that the Timpsons shoe repair place in Tescos do iPhone screen replacements for £40 while you do your shopping.

@jantan

Oh thank you so much for that tip, Jan!

[Judith Greenwood]

Mmmm yum! A 'splat' is supposed to be lucky (maybe my mum only said that so we wouldn't cry!) and if the phone can't be fixed, Apple will sell a replacement at a vastly reduced price (though if it's just the screen that's replaceable).

[summerfield]

clotted cream? i should go have tea! excellent selfie, hazel.

[Hazel]

@judithg

Judith, thanks for the tip re the phone. And I think all sorts of horrid things were explained as 'lucky' - to placate us no doubt!

[Richard Hickey]

Fantastic picture and commentary.

[mittens (Marilyn)]

Yikes. I'm not superstitious either but now you have me thinking. I dropped my P&S camera last week and it broke but it wasn't on the Friday the 13th. Does that still count? LOL Lovely picture of you Hazel.

[Pyrrhula]

Great , very nice selfie . You `ve good luck and bad luck and did ever only good comes as often as bad

[Faye Turner]

Great shot of you Hazel! You have such a friendly face!

[Sam]

Your smile is beautiful Hazel :) What a day you have had!

[Karen B.]

A wonderful portrait & smile Hazel ! Love the hat, the colour is perfect with the fabulous colours & textures behind. A delicious setting in more ways than one !!!

[Babs]

What an eventful day you have had. I think I would need a cream tea after all that too. Still got a smile on your face and that's what matters.

[Meredith McNay]

Well tomorrow is another day, you looked like you were enjoying your scones.

[Kathleen Hickey]

Wonderful picture! You look like you are enjoying yourself. Glad it all ended well.

[Ivan]

Super portrait - love that hat!! Ignoring the cream tea! We had a good Friday 13th!.
