That time of year again, and I've hit the dizzy heights of 21 + 8, not long until I'm 30 now (shocking!).
It's been a really quiet day for me, other than the excitement of opening prezzies and cards.. Phil has very kindly got me a weekend worth of training up in Leicester to learn how to make glass beads with a lady called Diana East who makes some very nice pieces, so next weekend I'll hopefully be busy learning something new and exciting! Along with that, and very appropriately I also got some very good books about glass bead making from my friends (I sense some communications between Mr. Phil et al!) all of which will prove handy I've no doubt, so I'd better make time to do some ready before I go away. I also get what looks like a bird house to put up in the garden, but on closer inspection (and after reading the instructions) it turns out to be a butterfly house which when put in the right place and loaded up with sugar water provides a nice habitat and safe house for the little critters for when they want to roost and lay eggs. I've already spied a good place for it to go so it's just a matter of hanging it from some sort of suitable hook.
So, since it's my birthday I treat myself to a slap up brunch, american pancakes, eggs, bacon and maple syrup on top which was bloody gorgeous to say the least and then once again we head to homebase to get some more of the wooden edging I got earlier in the week to complete the front garden - it was a pain in the arse to install let me tell you, but it's worth it - it will look even better once the wood has weathered a bit.
I then settle down to watch some good old kids films (batteries not included, Matilda) whilst doing some more cross stitch and then set about cooking dinner, which tonight ladies and gentlemen is that good old british classic, sausages, mash and onion gravy. Delicious!
