sunnyday Posted February 13 Author Posted February 13 Good morning - 'tis Friday ...and breathe - all went very well for my dear MIL and I thank you again for your kind thoughts and support ❤️ How is everyone? Half term now - I always find it hard to believe that this one marks 'halfway through the school year'... No big plans for the weekend or the coming week which suits me just fine really - as per our previous chat I am a bit 'peopled out' 🤣 Take care all x 1 Quote
louby loo Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Morning, quick catch up before we're off for the weekend. (I'm going to have to put on a 'social face' for a couple of days. 😂 Sunnyday, good to hear all went well yesterday. 💐 Froglet - the Works had spring coloured pipecleaners £1.00 including a 'spring pink' if you wanted to experiment. Hope everyone has a good weekend. xx 1 1 Quote
Froglet Posted February 13 Posted February 13 Sunnyday, glad to hear all went well. Louby - I think that’s what’s known as enabling…😉 I took advantage of a dry couple of hours yesterday and went to admire the snowdrops at Kedleston. There were hundreds of daffodils starting to spike through the ground so I shall plan to go back in a couple of weeks when they’re in bloom and will look stunning. Other than that I have finally made a little more progress on my sock and been immersed in a book as well as eating chocolate cherry scones. 1 1 Quote

In the course of my epic spare room sorting out I have discovered several cotton pulp eggs - I think I bought them when we were doing some work around penguins and needed a penguin egg for each of 4 classes. The cheapest way to get them was to get packs of assorted sizes consequently I have all the leftovers - I may need to do a spring project or two! 1 Quote
zigzag Posted February 14 Posted February 14 Glad all went well Sunnyday. Froglet, chocolate and cherry scones sound delicious, do you have a recipe please? Lovely to have a dry day here yesterday (until the evening when a mini storm hit) Today is also meant to be nice so hoping to get a few jobs done in the garden. Have a lovely weekend all. 2 Quote
Froglet Posted February 14 Posted February 14 They were good Zigzag. The recipe is the National Trust one - you can google it but it comes up with links to facebook pages/instagram etc. I've put the one I think easiest to read here: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=1191744535656184&set=a.542363183927659&id=100044619450793 By the way - I halved the mix and it still made 8 big scones. They kept well. 1 Quote

sunnyday Posted 6 hours ago Author Posted 6 hours ago Good morning - 'tis Friday A nice quiet week - yay -I was more than ready for that. Tomorrow Mr S and I are treating one of his cousins and his wife to a nice pub lunch - they were so helpful in notifying extended family members about MIL's passing and funeral arrangements - we are very grateful and want to thank them... I am liking the look of next week's weather forecast - do hope that it is correct - warmer, some sun and no more rain - yes please, bring it on! Hope that everyone is okay Have a good weekend all x 1 1 Quote
louby loo Posted 6 hours ago Posted 6 hours ago Morning all. 😊 Hope everyone has had a good week. I'm on half term, and it's been my birthday- so lots of chilling out with family and eating 😮😂 I stared on a fairy, however, I did it during the evening and the next morning she didn't look so good (only did the body though)..... so far she has a 'look' that only a grandaughter could love!😂 Just seen your post Sunnyday, good to hear you had a good week too.x 1 Quote
Froglet Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Glad you've had a restful week Sunnyday and Louby belated happy birthday! I went to see/help out at a friend's Gilbert and Sullivan performance this week, finished a book that I loved and baked a victoria sponge cake which I haven't done for ages. I have just received my post which included a proper letter from a friend. I have developed a habit of writing a 'Sunday note' each week (although it often gets done on a Monday!) and send them to all sorts of people - the letter this morning was a reply to that. I have succumbed to getting fairy making supplies so will be joining you in my making attempts Louby. I have nearly finished my tricky socks and have just received the most beautiful purple yarn which I want to use to make an 18th birthday pair of socks for my nephew. The garlic I planted in December is growing well and I have lots of other bulbs peeping through - very exciting! Happy weekend all! 1 1 Quote
