All you need is love....
...Da Da Da Daa Daaah. A good thing has happened, actually a really good thing. After popping the question at the Grand Canyon, My youngest daughter and her lovely girlfriend have had a faberoony engagement party. A meeting of two families can often be fraught, but this was such good fun. Lovely grub and fascinating young people, Teachers, a lawyer and a smashing new mum. I feel very privileged to have met such kind and funny people who wanted to share the simple joy, of two people finding their other half.
In other news, Husband has returned from Singapore with flu, not man flu- PROPER flu! This evil little germy beast has been working its way through his work colleagues and he has finally succumbed! He has lost half a stone in a week and looks, Frankly, like shit. I have realised that I would make the most appalling nurse, he is my favourite person on the planet.......but I could quite cheerfully kill him. When I ask how he's feeling, I want a simple " A bit better". Not a scientific paper on the minutiae of every sniff, cough and shudder! Nevermind I still love him dearly.
I also have a new obsession.....Sock Knitting. The house is a tip, we're living on junk food but I have made socks!!! I can knit, sew and crochet but this sock knitting lark is pretty intense. It started as a simple attempt to try something new, Now I have highly engineered German circular needles (many) and a nice little stash of sock yarn. Actually, that's a lie it's not a little stash, It is a huge unwieldy heap of glorious colour and texture, calling to me from the bottom of the wardrobe. The best thing is making the husband custom-fit toe cuddlers, he has very thin feet, skinny ankles, a long instep and alien toes. He also has very cold feet! Not any more though. That's why I'm lurking here at silly o' clock, Waiting for daylight so I can walk the dog and get on with some serious sock making....
In between the sock addiction and evil nurse pose, I have been planting bits and pieces in the front garden. It was overrun with St. Johns Wort, but that has been cleared. I even have two snowdrops and a crocus in bloom-Watch out Monty Don!
It's lovely to hear the birds getting ready for the season of sex, plus the usual Blackbird territory wars. We also have a resident thrush that loiters in the trees behind our house. This bird sings for hours on end, It whoops, it whirrs, chortles and chirrups, the noise is incredible. The wood pigeons have also been cooing madly and the squirrels are getting on with mating at a pace
Well it's time for a coffee and a peer out of the window to check the light. I'll see thee.
