Morning, everyone.  I hope everyone is well and has had a good week.
Apologies for any peculiarities with my blog - I suspect it is Blogger blips and fingers crossed they will sort things out because I have absolutely no idea whatsoever.

First of all, I finished the maple leaf squares and I'm really pleased with them.  I think I now need to work on making the darker green surrounds wider  and use this as a joining strategy too - I need to give it all a go and see how it looks.  I can frog, if necessary - it won't waste any yarn.

I was gobsmacked to get Slimmer of the Week at Slimming World yesterday, coming home with a heavy bagful of cans, packets, fruit and veg.  What a nice surprise.

Alex's Yorkshire pudding wrap was really good for a first attempt.  It tasted good and he enjoyed scoffing it.  Well done, Al.

(I'm definitely putting something similar on my meal plan for Sunday)

And later on Matt turned up and now I have a non dripping tap again.  Very relieved about that.

All in all, a successful day!  :-)

Today starts with K, my money expert, coming here for a financial review.  Beth and Dave will also be here - I involve them as they may possibly have to take it all over as trustees and, certainly, after I pop my clogs.  I really hope not the former but you never know, do you?  Dad was always very open about his finances and it made things very much easier after he passed away.

After that's all done and dusted, the rest of the day is mine.  I have cupboards to sort out, a load of washing and some ironing and a sourdough loaf to work on while Beth's load is already in Thermione, happing rising but, apart from that, I want to do some more work on the blanket.

Wishing you the best of days and let's hope the sun shines today.  If you are Canada way, it sounds pretty cold there at the moment - stay warm and cosy and take care.  xx
