So what has been happening .... ???

1. Retreat organising
2. working
3. socialising
4. packing for the retreat ... I have just started ... I usually take way too much so have decided to pack my Studio Calico kits into zip lock bags, along with some new papers and then a selection of favourite embellishments, stamps & inks, punches and alphas ... we'll see what I actually take in the car ... probably way too much as usual!!
5. housework ... I think I could do that a lot more often but I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference ... I seem to be chasing kids' mess constantly!!
6. having tuna for tea ... very fresh ... collected by John at 10pm last night from a friend!! Yummy and a few more meals worth in the freezer!
7. finally booked a hair cut ... when are then going to invent a pill to prevent grey hair?
8. after the retreat I am hoping to do some patchwork ... bought some fabric last week to make Rohan a quilt ... reds, blues, oranges, greens ... a bit different for me but I can't wait to get started
9. going to the gym but can't wait to get back to 3 sessions a week next term as 2 isn't enough!
10. enjoying a few wines on the weekends after 4 weeks of no alcohol ... except for the 1 night out John & I had in Adelaide 1/2 way through the 4 weeks and I was very restrained (only 2 glasses of wine!)
11. received the family photos that my sister had arranged when we visited them recently ... some lovely ones, my family and John and I have never had photos like that done before.
