Lonely!!!! I’ve really missed you, and think of you often (mostly in the context of flapjacks and knitting
). As Snuggly says, many of us make your flapjacks regularly. I’m so glad you are back and doing well! Are you still crafting? What are you making at the moment?
Unescorted what do you think she’ll do? I must say of all the times in my life I would have NOT wanted to live through a pandemic, university is top of the list. It’s such a shame
. A difficult decision for that whole year group.
I’ve been MIA - had sooooo much cleaning and tidying to do before my DM came to stay (she’s joined our bubble) - the spare bed was under a foot of ‘stuff‘
and much of the house was actually grimy. Anyway, after two solid day’s of manic tidying and cleaning (and some late nights) I got it to a respectable state. Also had a little ‘party’ for DD yesterday - my sisters came to sit in the garden and marvel at how much she’s grown and how DS has new front teeth
. Today was DD’s actual birthday -3! - and I took the day off so we could go out with DM for a picnic. Just £3.50 on parking and a lovely day was had. She’s just a joy to spend time with though if I have to read Elmer on Stilts AGAIN at bedtime tomorrow I’m going on strike
This year she had a Sarah and Duck cake. It involved a lot of chocolate, 12 eggs and almost a kilo of ganache on the outside, a bit big for a party of 6
. We’ve been delivering chunks of cake to her local friends today. I managed to stick to the diet and not eat any cake or scrape out the buttercream or ganache bowls 😇
Good timing really as tonight my oven was cutting in and out. I think it’s a problem with the power supply. I have had this thing repaired several times since I bought it so I’m not happy about it costing me even more, but i don’t want to replace it as I don’t want a range cooker in my new kitchen.
Right, back to work tomorrow but first, a bit of knitting before bed.
