This week has basically seen me knitting and cooking. It's been a quiet week with only one meeting but that was with school friends, one who now lives in the US, and her trip back to see her parents was a good reason for a few of us to get together. 5 of us met for tea and cake in our home town of Guildford and it was really nice. I was very late but I got there and I'm glad I did. As we get older I find it so important to keep in touch with people. I've made a concerted effort recently to phone people and arrange meeting for coffee or similar and I still have a long list of people to contact.
Anyway, my knitting, whilst being frustrating initially, has gradually improved. I have managed to finish one pink hat and one blue one. They are from the same pattern but look quite different!
I'm going to do another pink one I think and then I may even try a cardigan or a blanket.
Today, Sunday, has seen a Hairy Bikers recipe book frenzy where I made Welsh griddle cakes for breakfast, beer battery fish and chips followed by apple and blackberry pie for tea and also Millionaire's shortbread. All very nice. All very unhealthy but nice all the same.
I've also made bits and pieces over the past week and nearly all have been nice apart from one semolina based pud which was unpleasant.
It was our 26th wedding anniversary during the week. We didn't celebrate it. We were going to go out for a meal but I didn't want to go. I wasn't in a very good mood for various reasons and going out for a meal was the last thing I wanted to do so I didn't go! I actually spent most of the day tucked away in my bedroom staying out of everyone's way. It was probably for the best I think. I did get some flowers and a bottle of fizz from our daughter which was lovely of her.
As I said, short and sweet this week. Makes a change I know!
Keep safe everyone and be kind to each other.
