Poor you Snuggly - do they take ages to get to sleep or wake up in the night? It’s so exhausting!
Wolf I’m knackered just reading your decorating posts. What colour are you doing this room?
Mmm, biscuits. Not had time to get any post-holiday baking done today but I’ll do a bit this week. Might try a new biscuit recipe again. It’s a bit hit and miss but fun to try.
We’ve just had roast pork fillet wrapped in prosciutto, with roasted squash, buttery mash, carrots and peas. And Eton mess. I can’t move now.
My kitchen is a tip. It looked okay until we unloaded the car but now there’s stuff everywhere and nowhere to put it 🙄. I have loads of duplicate half-packets of things brought back from holiday, and stuff like sistema ‘tupperware’ for picnics that generally has nowhere to live and I might have made matters worse by buying some sundae dishes in Waitrose, inspired by Verdi’s this week 
Bit spendy today. Got my sewing machine back today, £45 to the chap for fixing and servicing it. £40 on a top up shop in Waitrose - sundae dishes on sale and also some bits for actual meals as I missed the cut-off for my Ocado offer before I’d finished meal planning (distracted by the microwave fire!). Also £120 on Boden - I had a decent discount code so I bought DS a new thick winter coat (the last one did two winters) and some bits for both DC. Might not keep it all. And bc am about to buy tickets for the Tower of London for this weekend, which is ££££. I think I can get a free ticket as DS’s career though 🤞🏻
I went through DS’s drawers this arvo. I think I’m almost done for uniform and back-to-school shopping except I might get more trousers and a couple of extra sweatshirts for DS - I think we’ll want totally clean stuff every day and I don’t always get washing done and dried within the week. Now to take up 5 pairs of trousers 🙄
More fun that that... I ordered some fabric while I was on holiday to make more masks for some friends and family and came home to it all yesterday. I’m really pleased how it looks IRL so might start cutting some out tonight. I needed something suitable for MIL (liberty florals) and another elderly friend, and also something for tweens. I fear this whole mask-making has awoken my joy of fabric - I keep finding stuff I love, and I have enough trouble with my knitting stash as it is!
(Speaking of which Lonely, how is your stash doing these days? I seem to remember you had a LOT of yarn).
I also washed and am blocking a scarf I knitted on holiday for a friend who is having treatment for breast cancer (prognosis good). She starts radiotherapy soon, hopefully that will nail it. I bought some lovely hand dyed yarn in her favourite colour and it’s turned out quite well. She’s not a knitter so may not really understand the work involved but I think she will like it anyway. I’ll post it to her in a couple of days once it’s dry, I am really looking forward to giving it to her!
Right, need to clean up the kitchen while DH does DC baths.
