1. Very quiet at work , it was just as well as there was a leak and it had to be done straight away. 2. I know it's taken me some time but I am now doing the border on the afghan. So hopefully i will finish it later. 3. Tea and toast with marmalade. Yummy!

1. Partner enjoyed his 4 x4 experience. It was a present from son and myself and we weren't sure if if would like it . He did! 2. Went to a chocolate fair. And it was so tempting to buy loads of proper chocolate,but didn't.it was so delicious to taste and to look at. 3. Last day at work for the couple of weeks will be the Easter holidays. Got so much to do and ned the time to do it all in.

1. It's not batman and robin, it's batman and robert according to my granddaughter. We were playing super heroes, she was batman, baby granddaughter was green lantern and i was captain america! 2. Why do super heroes wear underpants over tights? Asked eldest granddaughter .  Does anyone know the answer? I said to keep them warm. 3. I was given some beautiful purple and white hyacinths and got told in no uncertain terms when they have finished flowering indoors PLANT them out. I have earmarked part of the garden for them and I need to plant the others ones as well.

1. Just adding the last touches to the afghan, then will start the new one yay! 2. Son went to college very smart. 3. Son says I am shrinking ,I am saying he grown . I will be measuring him later to find out!

1. Getting a message from eldest son, always cheers me that,bless him. 2. A beautiful top from youngest son, he has got good taste in clothes that one, bless him 3. Meeting daughter in the week for a belated mums day treat, but she bought me a lovely scarf. Bless her. 4. I am a mum who does not need a present on Mother's Day as I am very blessed with all three. Just knowing they are happy etc that is my presents from them

Blanket is nearly finished or should I say afghan. It's taken a long time to do. The next one will be a Afghan or blanket done in hexagons. Going to use some of my stash of wool got plenty of one colour for the main colour and plenty for the contrasts. Very satisfying using some of my huge stash and to have the colours that go well with each other.

1. Today is Friday the 13th dare I say it, I am not superstitious but in an other way I don't tempt fate. 2. For the next 6 weeks I am looking after baby granddaughter as my daughter is on a course with eldest granddaughter at her school. Yay!(one afternoon a week) 3. Won't be long and baby granddaughter will be walking then I can't call her baby granddaughter . She has got such a dirty laugh. She is going to be a pickle that one.

Not much to write about. Life is ticking over quietly. It's had its ups and downs, but nothing interesting to write about. So I will come back soon.
