Tuesday

Good morning!  Weather wise, yesterday was a day of two halves.  Morning was lovely and sunny, sunny enough to get some washing out on the line, which was nice.  I ummed and ahed about leaving it on the line when I went into school but decided not to take the change.  I'm glad I came to that decision because while I was out, the clouds rolled in and the rain started.  I got wet coming home from school and I got wet again walking home from tuition.  The consistent thing was the wind - it was still blowy and, with the rain, much stronger again.  Cold too - oh, goodness, it really felt cold in that wind!

Jeff and I decided that allotment was a no-go.  It would have been terribly wet and heavy and just not worth the effort.  Instead, he came round here and did some bits and bobs for me.  He was scheduled for Wednesday but won't now.
We set a provisional date for the allotment and we'll see what the weather throws at us.

Knitter Knatter was good.  All the girls are getting the idea now.  Indeed, one cast off their knitting and I showed her how to sew it up into a pencil case.  Another has made a cross over scarf and another well on the way to making a longer scarf with pink and white stripes although how she's going to sew the ends in I have no idea, they are so short.  Still, that's how you learn!
I took my circular glove knitting with me which they found very amusing!

Today it is SW Group first thing.  It's the February Free Food Festival (SW does things like that so don't laugh!!) and a taster session.  I've made meatballs in a tomato sauce!

Then I'm free until tuition and I MUST do some housework!

That's my day - what are your plans?
Have a good one!  xx

  1. We too have a 'tasting' session at SW on Thursday, still undecided what to do.. I don't suppose a chocolate cake, oozing with chocolate cream would be acceptable !

    1. It might be very acceptable - to the members! Not so much to the leader. lol
      I think something hot and spicy in this cold weather, maybe? Good luck.
      Are you entering the competition too?

  2. I desparately need your knitting tuition - I didn't even realise when I bought it that my pattern had a small pattern until I started knitting! It is one of those where a change of stitch produces a little self coloured pattern (only 14 rows and I got through it but my concentration could be heard as I talked myself through knit 6 pearl 1, k1, P4 three times etc) then just as I had picked that up and got it the very next row changed again...blimey I'm glad it was only 14 rows of pattern!
    I need to clean today - the grime here is quite bad!

  3. I think it's the weather for hot and spicy although today I am going for comfort food in the form of good ol' shepherds pie.

    Hope you have a good day, apart from the housework bit!

  4. I did some ironing first thing because I couldn’t sleep, then a full shop. I succumbed to buying a new iPhone as I was at the end of the contract period. The rest of the day was spent setting it up and feeling sorry for myself as a cold develops.

    1. Colds are miserable and those first aches and shivers are a right pain. I hope it doesn't come to very much and that you feel chirpier soon.
      Take care. xx

  5. I very nearly hung my washing on the line today but thought better of it. It's been so windy I think I would have been chasing it across the fields. X

    1. It was windy, wasn't it? I put some out but kept an eye on it and it was fine. It looks exposed here but, actually, the way the houses are, it's quite sheltered really. They got a good blow but stayed safe on the line.
