It's been a lovely slow weekend. There was a little break in the weather and we finally made it out on the boat - only along the river in each direction, and turned around once we were out to sea. There was no wind for sailing, but it was wonderful to be on the water. We saw Cormorants, Herons and Egrets and it felt great to be on the boat. There's not really been the opportunity this year, between weather, illness and engine trouble, to build up any confidence or enthusiasm for boating. Next year.
In the afternoon we had an indoor picnic, and went to the park before supper. Yesterday I bought a silicone cake pan for making small lunchbox cakes. It cost £3.99 and wasn't a necessary purchase, but I think it will see a lot of use. This evening I made sponge with chocolate chips for the girls lunches this week.
I completed my birthday scarf with the wool my Mum bought me. It is super soft and warm, and I think the twist is fine in the event. Ivy has expressed an interest so I think I will buy the Katie Jones crochet pattern which has sweet hearts on the 'leaves' and make the girls one each for Christmas presents. I'm hyper aware of Christmas getting closer and closer and I must start squirrelling things away and making plans.
That's all for now. I'm looking forward to hopefully having a more optimistic week this week, as I've been feeling quite stressed and worried with the snatches of news and youtube commentaries I've seen lately.
