A Mixed Bag Of A Day....

I've had a lovely Easter Monday (and hope you have too)......but it's been a higgeldy-piggeldy sort of day.
Firstly, after yesterday, I had to seriously consider having the doors widened (or at the very least, buying new jeans), but then common sense prevailed. It's not worth paying out just yet, when there is SSSSOOOOO much chocolate still in the house.
So then it was running a few chores.Well....running is perhaps not the correct verb. Especially not after yesterday. Daughter No1 came with me, which was lovely, and so required stopping off for a little light refreshment in Waitrose's coffee shop. Which is where I discovered something new.

Anyone seen this yet?........


It was worth the rather hefty price tag, just for the free calico that came with it. I've only had chance to have a quick glance through, and it looks nice, but to be honest, it's probably much of a muchness with all the other craft magazines that are out there at the moment. Still, it's the hols, so I have high hopes of being able to shut myself away for half an hour or so, armed with a cuppa and the mag.
Next, after getting lunch for the five thousand- which is what it feels like when The Ever Hungry Son and The Partner return from "knocking a ball around"- I actually had time for a spot of this......



Not for very long though, as I had to go in search of these....


"Our" team was playing this afternoon, and The Son wouldn't be a proper supporter if not wearing the correct garb, now would he?? We absolutely froze, but the atmosphere was warm, and AFC Bournemouth won....which does wonders for warming the cockles of your heart.
And that brings me to this moment in time, typing away at this post. Tomorrow sees the start of a four day football course for The Son, which means SEWING TIME!! Yay!!!!!!
Thanks for popping by. Catch up soon. xx
