Snippet

Summer is racing by is it not? Below are a few snippets from my life of late. Just to prove that i've been keeping myself out of trouble.

Feeling fuzzy and giddy and perfectly drunk, at the wedding on saturday. Prancing and dancing and holding precious tiny, tiny babies*.

Walking every day around the local park with my mister, who has a heaven sent break from crazywork hell. Playing increasingly competitive games of backgammon.

Whipping up some hummous to go with a red cabbage and preserved lemon salad, saffron roast potatoes with spiced yogurt and a tabuleh salad*. Yum.

Thinking about all the things I want to write and all the things I want to make. And not doing much else about it.

Spending a very enjoyable weekend with most of the female members of my family. I love them more than I could possibly express here. I am lumpy- throated each time they leave.

Feeling very proud of my sister's A Level results. But pondering and worrying about the changing face of higher education.


Sticking to my make do and mend summer project which at times has taken heroic levels of self control.


and lots of exciting wedding prep too. 


Phew. 


Is it just me, or has this summer sped by and nigh on disappeared at an alarming speed? Tell me it isn't just me?




*all the more exciting as my dinner has mostly consisted of toast for the last few weeks. Also, I have always wanted to say ' I whipped up some hummous' so thanks for helping me to fulful that dream.
*I may or may not have been a teensy wee bit drunk when holding said tiny new baby. Thank you Mister Dad and Mrs Mum for allowing me to shower your baby with slightly alcohol scented kisses... ahem...
