The 7th & 8th; Haven't choked in ages!
The 7th of April. It's been a day of marathons - crochet and Scandal. Although, I did start off with a blog post. Then, the crochet began. Had to create a pattern for the bunny's ears, basically by trial and error, then made the second one. Once they were done, it was time for bunny assemblage. Assemblage, then lunch. However, I then realised I hadn't made a tail, then I had to make it twice because the first one was disproportionately large. Attached that, and bunny was done!
Took a break to go upstairs and sort out my gym/leggings shelf in my wardrobe, because it is a mess. I really need to go through all my clothes, but at the moment it is just too painful. Once I am pain-free, I can chuck out many things.
Back downstairs, I started on a cinnabon I am making for Adam. It has been a palaver because the pattern has mistakes in, plus it is written by someone who likes to go off on tangents and tell stories that I have absolutely zero interest in. I've had to make the top four times! I am happy to have put it down.
The 8th of April.
I have had such a lovely and wholesome day. I went to see Elle, Ben and Luna at their house that I've been meaning to visit for over a year, but it has been repeatedly postponed for various reasons. Anyway! I finally got there, had to remind Luna who I was, then I introduced her to the bunny I had made her, who she has named Michelle. We're not sure where that name came from but hey.
We started playing a game of Frozen snakes and ladders, but after about two and a half turns, Luna got hungry so we put that away. Lunch was a mezze, which Ben has to have for lunch tomorrow too. Baked cheese and bread, prawns, vegetables, fruit, crisps, all sorts of business. I coped with all the food okay, then when I took my Aciclovir, I choked on it and scared everyone (well, Luna didn't notice). I thought I was okay, then the tablet popped out. It went into a tissue, then in the bin. Haven't choked in ages! The rest of our time was very pleasant though - lots of talking and playing. I have to try not to laugh when they are doing active parenting - not because of anything they're doing, just that it still feels odd to see my friends transition into grown-up mode.
Mommy and Daddy came to pick me up at about half three, and came in for some tea and to say hello. They'd gone to see some National Trust-type place with a house and garden, which it sounds like the Winnington-Coes will be visiting too!
