Weekend

How was your weekend?  Ours has been busy.  

Saturday - we went into Cambridge for a spot of shopping and lunch.  We dodged the showers and got blown about a fair amount.  Nothing much was bought other than a top for the eldest's upcoming birthday and some t-shirts for the older boys.  I can honestly say I dislike clothes shopping, maybe its my age, I just can't seem to find anything that floats my boat.  I seem to spend my life in jeans and tops these days.  I dread being asked to anything where I'll need to dress up.  Put me in a yarn or craft shop though and I'll be as happy as a pig in clover.

I've been working on my Outing shawl, just 15 rows to finish, but as I have to increase 4 stitches every other row its just taking longer and longer each row.  Plus the cable is getting a bit crowded.  I can't wait to see the shawl released and blocking so that the pattern shows up properly

Sunday - Rachel and the children came for lunch so they could see Auntie BecBec before she goes back to France tomorrow. A full on roast, the yorkshires rose so much they were trying to get out of the oven, wish they did that every time I made them.  Must admit I ate far too much, but still found room for the fruit crumble for dessert.  I doubt I'll be eating anymore today though.  The little ones had a fun time covering Beck with cushions when she tried to take an after lunch nap - that will teach her

The house is now quiet, cushions and throws back where they belong.  Its been great having a family Sunday, we will be just us two again from tomorrow and back to our normal routine - I actually didn't think we had that much of a routine but clearly we do
