This Week....

I baked some banana bread scones. G ate two whilst they were still warm from the oven, so the next day when I made the glaze there was too much so they got a bit drowned in it before I remembered there were 2 less.


I finished reading the book of the month from my reading group. It said on the cover that it was Birdsong for the new Millennium. I wouldn't say it quite lived up to that but it was a very good read none the less, I very easily got swept up into the relationships of the all characters. Full of the horror that was WW1 but also a story of love and hope.



I bought some paint. S's bedroom is due a makeover. After the purchase of a couple of tester pots, S settled on Sweet Pink. Photos will be taken along the way.



I wore one of my 5 a day!

  2. Those scones look yummy, things are always delicious when they just come out the oven, hard to resist. I shall be looking out for the book, it sounds like a good read. I can't wait to hear all about S's bedroom makeover. Eleanor's still isn't finished, we're still looking for curtains, meanwhile we're in the middle of decorating the hall, stairs and landing. Eleanor's bedroom walls used to be pink with a Laura Ashley frieze. Eleanor's really in to 'food' earrings. There's a sweet shop at one of the nearby shopping centres and they also sell jewellery which look like sweets. We bought her some 'Loveheart' earrings for Christmas. My favourites are hot dogs, and she's also got the same apples as you have.
