WEATHER

WEll, we have had some weather here in London

It has snowed very lightly for a couple of days and ended up with quite a decent covering, certainly enough to make a reasonable snow man. Everything looks soooo pretty for a while!

Of course all the trains were messed up and so Monday morning meant it was impoosible for Joseph to get nto to school.... so another day off for him. Of course he was delighted and spent most of the day outside and the rest asleep in front of the fire so a very good day for him.!!

He was up and off though this morning and looks like the trains are all ok ish.... this morning!!

CHOIR

Choir last night and only a few turned up so it means you are quite exposed..... to say the least!I can more or less hold a tune if I am singing along with someone and there wasn't anyone to sing along with in a couple of tunes so I sort of fade away.....

 Anyway we managed and it is so good for the soul and lifts my spirits  for a few days after!

Off to work now, see if I can quickly walk the dogs in the field just up the road, I have just had a HUGE bowl of granola and after "fasting" yesterday am feeling very, very full and need to walk off some of it.

Ante natal clinic today and not  too busy, i am waiting for a rush of babies to be born over the next couple of weeks. There has been a bit of a baby boom after  50 shades of grey!!!

WHAT TO KNIT NEXT???

KNITTING DILEMMA......

Well I've finished the blanket and it looks great, I have also done another snood which looks great but I may have done it a little on the tight side and now I can't decide what to do next. My heart is with snoods...( i never thought I would say that...!!) but I am feeling I should be a bit more adventurous. We are off on holiday at the weekend and driving all the way to Italy which means a good 30 hours of sitting in the car and that is EXCELLENT knitting time  so I have to have plenty of ideas and plans up my sleeve as I cannot take all my wool, needles and pattern books with me....
maybe I should do another blanket and do squares again, or maybe its a good time to embark on a pair of socks. Or maybe this just means I need to go down to my local knitting shop and buy more wool and knitting books......

MIDDLE AGE SPREAD

I was doing soooo well, went to the gym 5 times last week and could already see a small change in my body shape and have now started eating so much my tummy hurts but I still can't stop!
It started on Saturday at a noodle bar, continued into Sunday with my very own yummy meal and the divine cake, yesterday was a day out at an Olympic party which involved an excellent spread and then today at a friend with lots of hot dogs and cake followed by some of the remaining cake when i got home. I will hopefully be putting my bikini on on Sunday.......

GOOD READS

I am struggling to find a few books to take on holiday. Just finished"me before you" jojo moyes which was a good story and interesting theme but way too waffly for me, Also read "the 50 shades "and will take the last one away with me but that will not last me 2 wks. There has been so much hype and discussion about the book, they are complete rubbish but I have really enjoyed reading them, pure escapism and a good romp!!
