back into it?

Ohhh, Friday the 13th. Haven't had one of these for a while.

After being vigilant and posting almost everyday, I had a wee break last week when Haim was on holiday. I was busy making stuff for several friends and their babies and I needed to rest my pin-pricked fingers and typing was not on the menu!

Hamish arrived home looking like he'd been on a deserted island for several weeks- well tanned and muscles twitching from surfing for 10 days straight! So it's back to our regular life, sleeping at normal times, cooking (read: making regular meals that aren't just salad and carrots) and doing what I call the 'man follow'- picking up all the bits of flotsam that seem to flow from him as he moves through the house, too small and insignificant for him to notice...maybe doesn't notice isn't the correct word? Some men seem to be able to walk over towels, socks and dishes until they can no longer move or need to find something they think might be buried under the bits...so perhaps it's can't notice- or refuses to notice? oh well, one day I will have a cleaner again. The thing is, our place is usually quite tidy so he's having re-learning to pick up after himself!

Today it's the sample sale for Sweet - I think it's their first one so there will be lots of stuff and lots of bargains. Haven't been to the shops for ages- especially the charity shops! One of the main reasons is- well, my favourite charity shop has been cleaned up. The manager that was there for years recently left and the new management have decided that they need order. We charity shoppers know that order is the worst thing that can happen to one's favourite shop! No more burrowing into the linen basket, pulling designer bags from the shoe bin and all the skirts and tops are on hangers with TAGS!!! Arugh! Will venture into the shops along New Kings Road in Fulham after the Sweet sale today. Fingers crossed.
