Project 366 week 6

Sunday

Exciting news to tell you all. Here is Baby Duff, the first child for our middle daughter, the one who got married last year. SIL has decided baby's blog name is going to be Ziggy. They have also decided they do not want to know the sex of the baby until the birth. Plenty of love to go round all the grandchildren, always room in my heart and the arms for another one.

Monday

I have been plagued for months now on and off with cold sores, have got the brand name product on repeat prescription. Have had various tests with no obvious reason for them. I was offered a new product to try.
The SoreFix cold sore products consist of a unique transparent patented lip balm formulation. The lip balms effectiveness is based on the combination of two zinc components.
A physical filter protects the lip from cold sore triggers that cause cold sore outbreaks, such as sunlight, dry/chapped lips, seasonal influences, and injury to the lips.
The zinc salts encapsulates herpes virus infected cells, preventing them from affecting healthy cells. This allows SoreFix lip balm to prevent cold sores.

So here is hoping it works. Time will tell if it is any more effective for me.

Tuesday

Pancake Day, and Bob had asked last week if he could come and make pancakes, so of course I said yes. He is being very clingy to his mum at the moment and will not stop over night here for some reason known only to him. So he came, we played some games and he went home in time for bed. Told mum he had lots of fun.

Wednesday

Took the gruesome twosome and Bob out for a walk, much to Bob's disgust before we left the house. Ask Bob if he fancied the back road or the fishery and he chose the back road. When we got to the end of the village I offered him the back road or the play park at the caravan park, so he chose the park. It is roughly a mile outside the village on a back road with a 60mph speed limit, not the best road but there is a slim pavement most of the way. They had lots of fun.This was the point I suggested getting back in the pram, they both went and hid in here.

a bit of video footage for you





Thursday

A cold but bright day and so we decided to go for a walk. Went up to Auchincruive Estate hoping to see snow drops, daffodils or crocuses, but there was none. So found this pretty wee waterfall instead.

Friday

Tomorrow is DD1 birthday. So I asked Fifi if she wanted to come and we would make her a cake. Cake making is my birthday present to you. We were pushed for time, I did not get in till quarter past four and Fifi's club starts at quarter past six. So we agreed on jaffa cakes to decorate and I also saw some orange matchmakers and picked them up as well. We also made four small cakes.

Saturday

Have made a start to my charity blanket. Nice and easy. Cast on fourteen stitches, knit twenty rows and cast off. No major weight to cause pain to the thumbs and wrists. Quick and satisfying to make.

  14. Congratulations on a new grandchild :) They look so cheeky hiding in there instead of getting into their pram...but who can blame them :D Nice and easy blankets are sometimes the nicest to work on, I like when I don't need to keep looking at a pattern. Makes a pleasant change.
