Yesterday was one of those really pleasant days. To be fair, nowadays the good days far outnumber the less pleasant days but the feelings of having had a great time remain, how often they occur.
I spent the morning and lunch time with some of my favourite people on a walk. David had worked out a new route for us, parking at the Horse and Groom (we had a table booked there for lunch), heading off down Lawford Lane and over the Can, just touching Writtle and then back out again to rejoin Lawford Lane. It was really pleasant and I took a few photos, given that it was a new route for us.
It was a rather dull day. In fact, just before we met up, it was drizzling but that cleared quickly and the sun just popped out and back in again a few times. It was a delightful Autumnal walk, shuffling through the leaves, but a bit more sun would have given so much more colour. Never mind, it was lovely anyway and the paths were so well marked that I think I could do it again easily. Maybe I will, finishing off with a coffee in the pub before coming home again.
Lunch was nice too - I had a chicken and bacon panini with chips and salad and brought half the panini home with me to enjoy for dinner.
I took the rest of the day very easy. I may or may not have snoozed a bit but I made another, better bauble - my tension is not that tight so I went a couple of hooks smaller and it was just right. I've also ordered some seven cm diameter polystyrene balls which, I think, will make better filling than wadding and I can then use pins to attach any decorations. Anyway, I am very happy with the pattern; it's simple but effective. I'm sure there are other patterns around so need to do a bit of a search as I'd like to make some as little gifts.
Photos tomorrow - I haven't taken any yet.

I loved Strictly although, as Catriona said, the marking was all over the place. I think the final order was OK though and look forward to seeing the results show this evening - I don't go searching so, please, no spoilers! I know who I think SHOULD be in the dance off but you never can tell with Strictly.
Today there is absolutely nothing in the diary for once so I'm just going to potter. Don't get me wrong, there's plenty to do like gardening, housework, ironing, etc, but I'm just going to wing it. According to the BBC, we might possible get some sunshine and, if that's so, a bit of gardening will be nice (and needed) but - well, we will see.
Have a lovely day, everyone. Stay safe and warm. xx
