and we shall have snow, sleet, hail and gales! No doubt to serve me right for gloating about the sunshine the other day Sunday was wild, windy and wet. The hailstones were huge and it started snowing at bedtime so I had high hopes of a snowy day today, but no it was all gone by morning.
I hope you had a lovely Mothers Day, my little helper was so excited at the prospect of getting me breakfast in bed that he got up at 6.30 and so,of course, did everyone else. So I didn't get to sleep in but I did have a nice lie in and reading session. First I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull which is a fable about making the most of our lives, even if we are not going with the flow or flock. It was inspiring, positive and also very short which meant I also had time to start Blue Shoes and Happiness by Alexander McCall Smith, the next instalment in the tale of Mma Ramotswe the sensible owner of The No1 Ladies Detective Agency.
My children made me a bouquet of tissue flowers
As the weather was bad it was an 'inside' day but by mid afternoon the children's bickering was driving me round the bend so I took the dog out for a walk ( he was not impressed at being dragged out in the wet and wind!) because after all it was Mothers Day so I decided to please myself instead of trying to referee or distract them with a game. Felt rough with a cold/sore throat/earache combo and also melancholy missing my Mum so an hour out on my own was a good move I think.
I have been stitching up t shirts ready for the stall on Friday
Just hope someone buys a couple! The stall isn't too expensive so the risk of loosing money is pretty low and I've enjoyed making them.
