Sunday

Good morning.  What gorgeous weather we are having at the moment.  Yesterday afternoon, I even had the French window open to freshen the living room and it was warm!  To be fair, it chilled off fairly pronto once the sun started dropping but even so - it's just February!

And my mini daffs loved it!


I was out in the morning, first to Aldi, then to B&Q to get granular salt for the dishwasher and water softener.  Then I had a stroll to Morrisons to look for some tins of chickpea dahl and just look what I came back with.  Brilliant!


I got on with my knitting and realised I've been very silly.  Remember I said the yarn was knitting quite thinly but that it's OK and right for what I want.  Well, the reason is because it's not chunky at all, it is Aran.  A basic, fundamental error on my part! 
However, it's going to be fine and will work so no problems and I've just started on the first sleeve.

Today is empty in my diary and I'm glad because the week coming up is pretty busy.  I have gardening, a bit of tidying, some sorting and some planning to do but in my own time, not regulated by any outside happenings.
Should be good and I hope yours is too!

  1. We were having work done in our garden yesterday from 8am until 6pm and it was glorious. Whoever would have thought of having fences painted amongst other things in February? We had the windows open all day and it was lovely to let the air flow through the house. Very mild but I'm sure winter will come back to bite us on the bottom at some stage!

    1. I'm pretty sure it will and the nights are still pretty chilly. We had a frost this morning although the sun is now shining brightly and everything is warming up nicely.

  2. Well done on your bargain shopping. I haven’t been lucky with yellow sticker sales recently - probably going at the wrong time of the day.

    Hope you enjoy watching Cranford.

    1. I was so pleased. I rarely, if ever, manage to catch the really healthy stuff. Usually, when I look, it's pastry wrapped around processed stuff! I've really enjoyed my weekend salads and they felt right with all the sunshine!

    1. My little flower bed is very disorganised but it always looks good in the early spring when the snowdrops and the daffs emerge.
      When does your spring usually start, Sharon?
