    {Celebrating} birthdays of friends. With cake, and three colours of jelly and four flavours of icecream *and* sprinkles. {Making} a crochet hexagon. Which will be the base of a bag. {Chatting} with friends. {Missing} Small and Tim who stayed home this weekend. Keep looking round to work out what I’ve forgotten! {Snapshots} Big has found…

  • The last audiology appointment ever?

    This is a hearing aid. It doesn’t belong to any of my children, thankfully. Instead it’s mine. Those in the know will realise it’s an old style analogue aid, not a digital. This is actually my second one, I stopped wearing my original one when Big was born, then lost it in a house move.…

    {Driving} just over three hours round trip in the (somewhat pathetic, not actually lying) snow so that we could enjoy {Surprising} a friend on their birthday. And apparently he was very surprised. So that was good. {Enjoying} catching up with lots of other friends. {Failing} in the decluttering quest. Net gain of bags today of…

  • History with added flowers.

A very successful choice. {Reading} the House Rabbit which arrived this morning from David Fickling Books. Love the illustrations and the repetition which allows Smallest to join in. Can see this becoming a firm bedtime favourite.…

  • Highs and lows.

    New question at the dinner table tonight, tell me how your day has been. Mine has had highs and lows. The highs have been very high, the lows disgustingly low. So I managed to do my yoga this morning and ran at lunchtime, knocking another 20 seconds off my best time this year for 1.2…

    {Remembering} Matilda Mae and all the other children gone too soon {Reading} Fractured by Teri Terry. Really enjoying it. {Eating} jacket potatoes. {Feeling} very proud of my big girl. {Returning} the lovely Samsung Note 2 to three. {Snapshots} Big got swimmer of year for Bronze squad, am incredibly proud of her. Small has discovered there…
