So, I've said before, Wifey and I don't "do" prezzies or cards. But I usually make at least a little something.

14 Feb ... Valentines .. also our Wedding Anniversary ! .. (see what I did there Men :lol: )

This year is apparently Ivory.
Last night just before going to sleep, Wifey asked if I had ordered the elephant ! ???
ehh ?? I said ..

for tuesday .. it's Ivory this year, but that isn't done any more ... she replied

She was joking of course, but it got me thinking ... (yes I always leave it late ! lol ...)
so I just knocked up a new coaster for her Tea cup :-)

Nice one. I hope she has some surprises in store for you today.

You dont want to know how I am spending today. Hint. I have been on a no fibre diet for 3 days :(
I do not think therefore I do not am.

Definitely my age and family history. Given the all clear though and just back home. Next check in 5 years. Shame it was under anaesthetic as I don't get to see the process.
Champagne in the fridge from LOML but no alcohol for 24 hours!

Sorry to have messed up you thread.

Ok then. I do remember, Ivor the Engine and his mate Jones the Steam.

I trust you applied a waterproof finish to the coaster to protect it from spills.

and we are "Evans's" (family name).. the chap on the right is Evan Evans :-)

No Coating for in house .. I just run the program again when it wears out/gets grubby . Although she is not using it for tea yet .. has it stood up on display :D

on that note .. I used to tell my customers to keep it indoors and dry and clean... I turn away people who want it for an outside plaque or similar .. but my own experiments .. it's really rugged stuff !
It will "swell" (thickness) .. but never splits or rots . I've had some outside for a few years, and it's twice the thickness it used to be, but apart from that, no change
