Random Friday is back. For this week at least.
- I tidied up my handbag and wallet:
There were months worth of leaflets and receipts and other bits of paper... why does it always happen? why do I find it so difficult to throw thing away? Seriously.
- Last night I went to the theatre with a friend. We saw Caryl Churchill "Top Girls". And I don't wish to be rude or anything.... but what was that all about? Have you seen it? Can you explain the connection between the first act and the other two? Why on earth did it end like it did?
I love the theatre and was looking forward to see this play; it had had great reviews, it had run in London for quite a long time... I just didn't get it. I was left befuddled and confused.
And I had to drive home through this:
Snow. Why is it that everytime I go out with friends it then snows? Are the heavens trying to tell me something?
- Cooked my first meatload the other night. Tasted great. Looked... scary. More like the 'by-product' of a meatloaf than a meatloaf itself. I need a better recipe I think. Please help.
- This might make me sound like a terrible mother but I'm inordinately happy that hockey training has been cancelled for the second Friday in a row. I'm now doing a snow dance so that the rugby training will get cancelled too.
- I bought a replacement nib for my Lamy fountain pen and now it writes like a dream. It's all in the little things folks, I tell ya.
- No 1 has been accepted in the school he wanted to go but he doesn't know yet, I'm waiting for Mr M to come home to show him the letter so we can all celebrate together. I can barely contain myself. If I and hug him one more time he'll run away from home so it's better if I sit here and 'chat' with you. Distract me please!
- No 3 dressed as a pirate this morning for 'Charity Day' (or let's see how many sweets we can eat in one morning day) at school.
I love the fact that he came out with the outfit idea by himself, that he wanted to make a costume and not buy it. He painted the t-shirt with red striped, I painted his face. He thought of the monkey too. so cute. Actually he's much cuter without a black eyeliner patch and a dodgy (very non-pirate like) beard.
- Thank you for liking my happy socks and granting me permission to start another project. I have. And the moment I get a minute of light I'll show you... It's very gratifying and it's all Nancy's fault Hers is much better than mine though.
- Have a good weekend out there. Keep warm.
