Sunday
made a snack to eat in my break. Melted some dark chocolate, added some wow butter, sultanas, pumpkin seeds and sesame seeds.Cool in the fridge and cut into squares. Very tasty it was too.

Monday
A late evening walk round the field and down to the quarry. There is work going on down there during the day flattening out the rock face and they are bringing in lorry loads of mud and making a road of some sort. Lilly had fun exploring the bucket on the digger.

Tuesday
Hot hot hot, I do not do hot. The two warmest places in Scotland on Tuesday according to the weather forecast were one mile either side of us, far far to warm for my liking at 29 oC. But wee Lilly has found out the joy of the fan.It has been on day and night.

Wednesday
Been busy with the cross stitching. I have done as much as I can now until Ziggy is born. Have to say it is looking good.
Thursday
The wheat is starting to turn golden and the top of the fields look very pretty in the sun.

Friday
Babysitting this morning while my daughter went to Glasgow to pick up Fifi from a week away. It was raining but we put on wellies and a jacket and went to play in the park regardless. The three of them were soaked to the core time they had finished playing but they had a great hour. It is great when you are the only ones in the park.

Saturday
Has been too hot a lot of the week to do much so have been doing plenty of cross stitching. Made a start on Minky's Christmas present, his Toy Story blanket.
I love all your cross stitching! Both the blankets look beautiful. Your snack sounds delicious. I'm addicted to dark chocolate, so I might give that a go :)
ReplyDeletedark chocolate is much more friendly to my stomach, hence the choice,
DeleteLove all your embroidery projects, very cute! Lily by the fan is also super cute. The chocolate with seeds sounds tasty, but I'll have to google what wow butter is.
ReplyDeletewow butter is "peanut" butter made with soya instead so is nut free, and truly tastes amazing and you would never know the difference.
DeleteTemp here hit 33. Agree it was hot!
ReplyDeleteThe snack sounds interesting! The cross stitching looks fab. And Lily looks so small in that digger
yes the digger bucket does dwarf Lilly a bit
DeleteLilly seems to be enjoying the fan. The cross stitching is coming along well.
ReplyDeleteshe was not the only one enjoying the fan,probably cost me more in leccy this month than the heating did last month.
Deleteyour fridge cake sounds yummy. You are so clever at cross stitching and both blankets are looking beautiful. i love being the only ones at the park too x
ReplyDeleteI am thoroughly enjoying the cross stitching, relaxing and rewarding to do.
DeleteLove the cross stitching! It's been hot here too (if my math is correct, it's about the same or just a smidge hotter? 85 F to 90 F). I don't mind heat (so much), but we have so much humidity which makes it very uncomfortable. But definitely makes for doing indoor projects
