Good morning, everyone. Isn't it mild at the moment? One expects chilly nights and mornings but yesterday evening I went our for a meal with a friend (and very pleasant it was too) without my coat and didn't miss it one little bit. It has to get cold again at some point, surely!
Yesterday was quiet and restful for most of the day. Things plodded on peacefully and I managed to get through the day without needing a snooze - a big improvement. Just as well really because I can't see myself being able to have a wee kip come Monday - or Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, come to that!
I started making up the squares for this Christmas (oops, sorry, I mean 'holiday') throw I mentioned yesterday and immediately hit a problem - the pattern doesn't quite make sense in places. I'm sure it is just language in the main (it's an American pattern and some of the statements are probably idiomatic) and I can work round it, but it's a bit complicated in part and so far I have one square that is 'right' and three that look 'not quite right'. We'll get there!
And now I must get going. I have visitors due for lunch and the house is not fit to be seen at the moment.

Wednesday
. . . and just about half way through the break! Time does rush past at an alarming rate sometimes, doesn't it?
Well, yesterday was a lovely day, albeit rather rushed at times. To start with I got going on some of my rather neglected moderater duties and sorted quite a lot of stuff out. Then I checked the time my visitor was due to arrive and it's just as well I did. I had it in my head as 11:00 but we'd set it for 10:30. After that it was all a bit of a rush. I'd promised muffins so I set to and mixed up my simplest (but tasty) recipe and popped them on to bake, during which time I had my bath and washed my hair, which was sadly yucky! I got there - just! Phew.
After that it was all rather pleasant. Pippa came, we talked over coffee and warm muffins (mmmmmm) and she went, and then not long after that around came Beth and Alex, the latter lugging his suitcase along behind him. Al and I went out to the Flyer for tea and then we had a pleasant, relaxing evening together. I had to laugh this morning though. I gather Al is slow to wake at home but here he's down not too long after I am - which is very early.
Today I have nothing else planned apart from Alex being here until Beth picks him up, so I must get on with just a little bit of school work, some more moddy stuff and some washing, drying and ironing. And a lot of resting and relaxing! Sounds good, doesn't it?

Saturday
Good morning weekend! Yay. I'm feeling nice and relaxed in the knowledge that the planning is done, the resources are more or less made, the menu for the weekend is all sorted (I have visitors) and the house is as clean as it's likely to get in term time!
Weather permitting, today my visitors plan to go to Hyde Hall. It's pretty wet and cold out there right now but it might clear up. I am umming and ahing as to whether to go with them - the cold has landed with an almighty thud, I have a bit of an upset tum and just wonder whether I would be more sensible to rest, given that work goes on and I really don't want to take any days off so close to consultation evenings. We will see . . .
Yesterday was my performance management and I was thrilled to bits with what the head said. I'll say no more except that I came home extremely happy! Nice . . .
