To paraphrase Windlily, it's suddenly 9-hives busy...
What happened yesterday? I've forgotten... Probably because I wasn't feeling very well - combination of the tail-end of this blasted cold, a touch of hayfever, and simple tiredness. Still, I managed to write some more
2AC 1.4.09, which isn't bad. And Kai had a good day: got 19/20 for his mental arithmetic test. Bodes well for his SATs.
He asked for a treat on the way home. He normally has something from the paper shop half way up Bloomfield Road on Monday and Friday, but since it was his first day back I said yes. Last week he'd been telling about something one of his friends had said about a new sweet - a mallow burger. I only half took in what he was saying as I was working on a tricky bit of coding (bad mum that I am, not listening to my child!) but it sounded pretty horrible to me. Well, the paper shop had them in stock.
They're made of marshmallow. And they look
exactly like a cheeseburger in a sesame roll.
The operative word is
ICK. Talk about sickly sweet! The damned thing's about the same size as a small hamburger too. And after buying it, a Turkish Delight for me and a handful of Cadbury cream egg bars [shudder] for Lutra I suddenly realised how much it cost.
99-bloody-p! He's not having
them very often!
Mind you, I'm not sure he'll want one too often - he had a bit of difficulty finishing it...
Tonight I take him out to John Cabot to order his uniform, so I did the usual, took him to school then bought a FirstDay ticket and went into town to throw money at the bank, buy crickets for Rosa (the stall had medium brown ones this time, not the horrible singing black ones) and see if I could buy a new frying pan - ours has finally had to be thrown out. It
was twenty years old, though, so it's done well. We have £15 in M&S vouchers kicking around at the moment (not sure why - free gift for some consumer survey thing I did probably), so I popped in to see if they sold kitchen stuff.
Heh.
The kitchenware section comprised precisely one small square island on the edge of the bedding section. No frying pans. And a salt and pepper set alone was £15.
You can tell I never use M&S, can't you? Perhaps Ken can put them towards a pair of jeans. Unless anyone wants to buy the vouchers?
I did, however, manage to get terracotta feet for my strawberry planters in Wilkinson's, and, best of all, a new set of headphones for Kood (Sony in-ear, £3.99 from HMV) and they're absolutely
wonderful! The sound quality is amazing, and really cuts down on the amount of external noise I can hear. Dead chuffed!
Arrived back to find the cover art for the
Dreams book has arrived - it looks lovely. I'm now waiting for permission to scan and post - and to go into more detail about the contents!
Right - should have time to get 1.4.09 finished before the trip out to John Cabot. Back to the loom!
