West London chat winter & beyond

[tillyfernackerpants]

Hadn't realised we were so close to filling up the last thread, hope you all find it!!

I want to see Blue Valentine and Winter's bone

Sfx - yes I think it tried to briefly snow just now, so cold today after being so mild yesterday

Haven't seen Black Swan but would like to. I like Natalie but no idea who her BF is!

Steppie - I just sat on middle floor and let her get on with it

Got to make Ds1 costume for tom and cake sale too. Might have to do a Copper on this occasion and buy some cakes as don't have time to make & ice them as am babysitting tonight. Plus need to make polenta bics too, eek. Have to go to school in morning for DS1 OT assessment to see how he's getting on with his programme

I want to see King's Speech, not sure about Black Swan. Used to like Natalie Portman, but yes she has gone a bit odd!

at "do a Copper". It's the only sensible thing to do.

Glad I have your blessing

portman
and more

yes I have many shallow moments

My book as arrived!

Tilly - it's a daisy dalrymple book, as you recommended!

sfx - bleurgh at Portman quotes!

Copper, hope you enjoy it then!

Cooked a mallard. Lots of lead shots in it. Tasty but a bit dry...

did you shoot the duck?

Somebody did.

Good morning!

hello

home again today, bored

dh's boss came yo work yesterday after being sick several times at home and twice on train, cue frantic wiping and sanitizing from the rest of them, once he left after 3hrs of 'essential' micromanaging and spreading of germs

should I bake? I feel like baking but really have been indulging too much lately

Phew! Just finished off a piece of work I meant to finish off yesterday. Lunch time? Fish soup.

Pretty cold out.

sfx - bake something for us! We have not been overindulging. :) That reminds me - we have some crumble topping left. What to sprinkle it on?

I might just put dumplings in beef casserole later

although I really fancy some cookies

Am contemplating whether 5 and 7 are too young for geometry. DSs found a protractor and setsquare this morning and drew angles ... >

Pah to cookies. We have chocolate macaroons.

had to google what you meant turns out I know about it but not in English, I can see this becoming a problem in maths terms to be used

I think if they like it teach them

Yes sfx. More goggling definitely. Supplementary angles complementary angles vertical pair linear pair etc etc. And a version in Chinese too. Still, might be fun.

Hello!

Out all day at the V&A for Chinese New Year activities. So crowded! But quite fun.

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend!

Am v tired. Ds1's party Fri afternoon, out late last night (had Dim Sum for the first time, was delicious), then to ILs today.

Am off to bed to read, though will probably fall asleep immediately

hello how is everyone getting on? so nice to see the sun

Hi

Had busy but great wkend. The polenta bics were a hit at dinner party. Also got MN freebie tickets to cinema to see Rabbit Hole, excellent film but really, really sad. Went for lunch with friend after while Dh took boys to Transport museum.

Quiet day today as we're all tired too! The sun helps though

yes vbus but did it move? I am obsessed

Not really, it was alittle freaky

Eh?
