  1. So sorry to hear about your granddog Sunnyday. Enjoy your upcoming babysitting. I took mum out for afternoon tea yesterday which was lovely but so filling! Today has been very lazy - a little crochet and much pootling. I must get my act together tomorrow! There are some arts events over the bank holiday which I'm hoping to get to. Other than that - have a lovely weekend everyone.
  2. It was just dates and some candied peel instead of the usual raisins. I threw in some chopped walnuts too (can you tell I'm clearing out the baking cupboard?!). It's fine although it feels less fruity as the dates have kind of blended into the cake. It's very moist though. I'm having no problem eating it! 😉
  3. A little belated! Hope you had a lovely day Cait!
  4. I am eagerly awaiting my sweet peas and strawberries to see if anything actually grows - that will be a huge achievement I went to see War Horse at the theatre yesterday - was awesome, I’d wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone! Today has been a day of gentle errands, picking up some new walking shoes, baking a loaf of bread and a tealoaf which is in the oven at the moment although I didn’t use my usual dried fruit so I’m interested to see how it turns out. I’ve finished crocheting a blanket and am half way through knitting a pair of socks. I will hopefully get to see my brother tomorrow as he’s heading down south for a canoe tournament and next week I’m hoping to go to a quilt show.
  5. I have had a lovely week with lots of reading and crochet. Visited a local nursery and bought some sweet peas and strawberries to plant at home - I've always wanted to grow sweet peas. Am gradually getting the downstairs of my house sorted out and have bought some theatre tickets for the future. The sunshine has been beautiful - lots of meals outside although my garden is such a suntrap that I can only do about 15 minutes in the afternoon when the sun is full on it!
  6. Congratulations Mousey - lovely news, can’t wait to see what you make!
  7. Hello all, Well, to get myself over the hurdle of not going back to school when everyone else I knew was I went to York for a couple of days. Gentle pootling round the Minster and other sites and sitting eating icecream (it was a beautiful day) in a park. Since coming back I'm gradually building a new way to do things for me involving lots of rest, reading and crafting (I have a pair of socks and a blanket as my main projects at the moment although there are SO many unfinished projects in my house). I'm also steadily sorting out my house and tidying/cleaning so it starts to feel loved again. I'm enjoying a daily walk and starting to realise that it's not necessary to try to do multiple things at the same time!
  8. Thanks Sunnyday. For now I am just stopping. I want to spend a little more time with family whose circumstances have changed but am also going to take the opportunity to try some things out that I’ve had in mind for a while.
  9. Ahhh, thank you both. I'm ok - just have been really busy and not doing anything very interesting to tell you all about. However, I do have some news... I have resigned from my job as of the end of this term. So I'm spending this week and next wrapping things up and setting them in order and then I am not in school for a bit. I'm going to take time to properly rest - it's been a very long time since I had a holiday without a school TDL to complete and then I'm gradually going to start doing other things and hopefully begin to find my sparkle again. I'm a strange mixture of looking forward to and being very apprehensive about it but it will definitely be a new experience with lots to learn from!
  10. Sounds like you've both had a good week. I have met up with family and friends and am currently dog sitting for my sister. I'm querying just quite how I am fitting into a quarter of the sofa whilst the dog is taking up the rest. Am also pondering possible responses to give when he's looking at me hopefully as I'm eating a slice of toast and honey! I have done very little work which is good in many ways although I have no doubt I shall regret it tomorrow... Enjoy the weekend everyone!
  11. It always gets worse before it gets better. Although just to make you all laugh - I misread that as 'I keep finding long forgotten biscuits that look interesting' and was wondering how on earth anyone forgot a biscuit! Me too - I have frozen feet and the playground (and therefore classrooms) is just a sea of mud!
  12. So glad you had your weekend away Louby!
  13. Funnily enough I have just watched the first episode of the Traitors. Not sure about it as yet. My domesticated day has actually been spent in pjs doing very little - it’s been good. I hope everyone is ok too. PS Sunnyday I definitely posted your invite…
  14. I've never watched The Traitors but after hearing so much about it recently I'm tempted! It was definitely very blustery for us yesterday but our nursery children went outside with their streamers and other 'blowy' things and had an absolutely amazing time! I'm planning a day in school today (don't tell me off - helps me focus solely on the school jobs I need to do and they then take less time), then I'm pondering a film tonight - I have no idea what, any suggestions welcome. Tomorrow will be a domesticated, school free day with definitely some crochet and reading and possibly some baking in it too. I have a family weekend coming in a few weeks - ages 1 - 83, we've been searching for places for a gentle walk suitable for aged knees, lively dogs and small people who want to play and now we're on to trying to think of at home activities for the evening that can accommodate increasingly deaf and confused people! Again, any suggestions very welcome! Have a lovely weekend everyone.
  15. Thank you! Happy Friday. It is freezing here too but at the same time I’m enjoying seeing the bright clear skies that come with it. The interminable greyness before Christmas was getting to me. I’m spending the day in a whirlwind of planning and prep ready for next week as my plan is to enjoy my last completely school free weekend for a while. I’m also making a list of craft projects both half finished and not started at all - I may be some time…
