March 23rd. I had the day earmarked for ticking things off my to-do list but I have to admit it took me a while to get going.
7am A bit of early morning reading. My S-I-L has bought the same book and we’re reading it together, our own mini book club, a few hundred miles apart.
8am Before wrapping my husband’s anniversary gift I read the instructions, because he won’t! It's a white noise machine, which will hopefully help with sleep. My husband's to be exact.
It's our fourth anniversary and the traditional gift is fruit or flowers, but the modern gift is electrical appliances.
9am Bath. I soaked for far too long considering the length of my to-do list.
10am A very late breakfast. Porridge with chia seeds (not frogspawn), sweetened with honey.
11am One day, when I’m a proper grown up, I’ll remember to include everything I need in my online order, so I don’t have to face the supermarket on a Saturday, or any day. It'll also stop me spending money on those things that accidentally fall into my basket that I had no intention of buying. Unplanned purchase of the day? A small round LED light for the cupboard under the stairs. I did manage to leave behind the confetti filled balloons, but now I know they're there...
12pm Getting sidetracked in The Range. I went in for poly beads for a craft project but also came away with two balls of wool and some 'good' weedkiller (it's not just the supermarket that where unplanned purchases occur).
1pm Lunch of ‘moon crackers’ as I named them as a child, or as they’re commonly known water biscuits. Moon crackers sounds better (and probably improves the taste a smidge). Of course moon biscuits must be eaten with cheese. (You think they look like the moon too, right?)
2pm Blitzing Oreo biscuits for a birthday cheesecake for my middle nephew, in preparation for his birthday the day after. I'd like to say that I didn't lick the spoon, but I did.
3pm Wandering down the drive to collect the wheelie bin and I turned to see I had a small companion.
4pm This is what happens when I try Viparita Karani (legs up the wall) when the girl cat is about...
5pm I almost finished this pom pom wreath whilst listening to BBC Radio 2. I really enjoy listening to Rylan on a Saturday afternoon. I found him incredibly annoying on X Factor but now I think he's rather sweet, he makes me chuckle.
6pm Cooking lamb mince with broccoli, served with skinny fries because I forgot to put the baked potatoes in the oven.
I didn't take anymore photos after this, Andy came home just before 7pm and we chatted for a while before getting stuck into some more West Wing episodes on DVD. It's only about the fifth time we've watched it together.
I hope you had a lovely weekend.
