Sacred blue. Whatever has happened to my journaling habit? I see the last time I posted it was a scorching hot day in October. Well, it’s about the opposite of that now. After an abnormally mild winter, we have finally been hit by the cold and snow. We had a 10-20 cm covering of light powdery snow on Saturday night. Fantastic sticky stuff, perfect for snowmen. Built a great one in the back garden. Then belatedly though should have made one in the common as it would have been easy to make it huge.
Well, a small taste of what’s been happening. Neve continues to be charming, funny and adorable. Very good with words, and very witty with them. Lola is lovely; very caring and patient with Neve. Her reading has come on tremendously and she pretty much read anything.
I’ve painted the inside of the door (but needs another coat). The cupbords either side of the sofa are done, as is the shelf that connects them. I’ve built a suspended desk with shelf beneath into the bay window. Isa has been making enormous lined curtains for the bay. 7 kilos of them, so I’ve been strengthening the curtain rail mounting!
Mum and Dad came for Christmas and that was fantastic. Tom, Esther and Grace joined us on Boxing day. All gone by the day after…
Lola is learning the piano. She got a casio keyboard for xmas from Grandpa. And she and Neve are both doing ballet up at David Lloyds.
