Good morning again, everyone.  Welcome to the last but one day of February.  In a couple of days, Spring officially starts (unless you go with the astronomical date rather than the meteorological date, in which case it is not until March 20th).

It was a funny old mix yesterday - cold (boo) and with spells of sunshine punctuated by heavy downpours that, thankfully, didn't last long.  Definitely not a day for line drying so I got out my rack and dried my sheets that way.  A shame, because they are so much nicer when dried in the fresh air but it won't be long now.

I got downstairs all cleaned and dusted, changed my sheets (thank goodness) and generally had quite a busy morning.  I think I might have done around ten minutes of weed scraping but down came the rain so in went I!  And I dealt with ten items of clutter.  Yay!

The sourdough starter (now officially named Bubbles because real sourdough bakers seem to name their starters and I can pretend), is still alive - one past attempt resulted in a horrible mouldy mess around five days in - and smells healthy.  Not many bubbles yet but it seems that the early days can be quite quiet.
My fingers are crossed and my confidence not very high yet.  :-)

Today is busy but nice-busy.

I'm doing just one section of SET this morning, the Strike part which is very energising and warming.  Then I need to make sure everything is in order for lunch as Val is coming over, after which I am over at Chris' for out usual coffee and chat - lovely.

Then I'm home and finishing lunch, Val will arrive and we can have a good old catch up.

Should be a very pleasant day indeed.  I hope yours is too.  xx
