We have had glorious sunshine all day here (It’s because I decided that I must work today!). I went in to school this morning to work - fewer distractions and excuses. Then this afternoon went for a very slow walk round the park with mum and dad. My poor dad has sciatica at the moment so needed to stop and stretch every few steps or so. I have to admit to having a ‘grumpy old woman moment’ though. The path at the park is divided in two - one side for pedestrians, one for bikes. A child (4ish) was carefully stepping along the dividing line - not doing anything wrong but because of the way he was walking my poor dad had to shuffle out of the way. Not really a big deal but it frustrated me that the child’s parent was completely oblivious to the fact that his child was walking straight into an elderly man with a stick clearly having difficulty walking. To contrast that my mum was wandering all over the place and had a near miss with an older boy on a scooter - he was going a little fast but it was her fault and he was so beautifully and sincerely apologetic it was lovely to see!

Actually yes! See you soon!

I will admit to having put the fire on for a bit as I got so chilled sitting still. However the upside to the cold is that I have decided that it completely justifies the rhubarb and ginger sponge with custard that I had to make to use up some rhubarb that was lurking in the fridge.

It’s chilly here too. I’ve been making a snail (trying out a new technique) but am contemplating a bag - my current one is on its last legs and I feel ike something colourful. I think my tea may involve pasta, crème fraiche and cheese! I’m emptying the freezer ready to defrost it and it’s reached the stage where the only thing in it is bread and frozen peas which isn’t very inspiring!
-
Sssh… I’m taking the day off! I wasn’t going to but after a morning pootling and working on my next crochet project I decided to not try to start anything now. I am contemplating cake (or biscuits) and have no idea what to cook for tea but for now crochet and reading will do me!

Nothing quite like a conker fresh out of its shell.
-
My gargoyle is finished!
-
Oh aren’t they amazing!
-
I don’t know that I have a favourite term. I quite like the new freshness of autumn I think.
-
Nothing quite like the first day of the holidays… I woke up at 4am, gave up trying to sleep at 5 and had made and eaten a mini bread and butter pudding for breakfast by 7.30! I’m still in my pjs though - mostly planning to chill, crochet and clean today! We had an INSET day yesterday and myself and the deputy got some very therapeutic tidying done at the end of the day. My midday niece let me know that she is now on WhatsApp so we exchanged a few messages - they’re off to the Hay festival next week. I have the TDL of course but mainly want to do some getting organised so that the last half term of the year can go as smooth as possible.

I never usually do. I am a rubbish plant person! I tend to stick the plants I have in the sink for a good drink every week - works for orchids! I did the poinsettia from habit as it still had a little colour on it then one week noticed some tiny shoots - I’m going to see how it goes!
-
I was given one of those mini poinsettias by a child last Christmas. It all died off but I randomly kept watering it. It has started sprouting leaves again! I am definitely in awe.
-
I remember when I first joined not really looking closely at the profile pc and for a while thought it actually was you!
-
Everything crossed here too Cait. Sunnyday - you did things the right way round! I have got the washing on the line and bought a ball of wool but other than that have drifted in and out of sleeping and reading today. I have promised my sister that I will go out for a walk tomorrow.
-
What a lovely birthday present Steve - thank you!! welcome Plin, it’s lovely to see you!
-
Poor you. Glad it’s behind you - sunshine and outdoors will help I’m sure. Take care.
-
I’ve long thought that a 3 day weekend should be a standard thing! Not much planned for me this weekend - more work on the gargoyle! I got a blood blister my mouth on Wednesday evening. It’s gone down but my mouth is still unbelievably painful - really hard to swallow so lots of paracetamol for me!
-
Oh no! I’m not good with random pens!
-
Sunnyday has a waterproof balaclava with snorkel if that would help? I’m sure she’d be happy to lend it.
-
There are some left - I'd forgotten until you said that - a quick refresh I. The oven and they’ll be great!
-
What rubbish timing! I can make scones anytime though!
-
Scones are in the oven… when are you lot getting here?
-
I’m doing the ironing!
-
Well, I was awake at 4.30 this morning and had done a load of laundry, cleaned the bathroom and made a pot of mushroom soup by 7am! A morning of work but since then I have dozed, read and am about to do some crochet (second gargoyle toe!). I have rethought the rhubarb and custard cake - too much ‘faff’ so am roasting my the rhubarb to eat at some point and am contemplating making scones instead. Does that make you feel better? Oh and I’ve just redeemed a ‘tea and book club’ subscription I was given!

It’s funny isn’t it? I have used this colour before but it’s been grey for ages. That was the intention when I set the colours as I want it to go in a particular room but the change is refreshing!
