T-Bird Anni Rides Again

yesterday was not our best ever day.  To be fair, it was no one’s fault in particular it was just one of THOSE days.

I wanted to put in some pea seeds (under cloches to keep them safe and warm) so forked over the soil and twisted my back which I’d already managed to put in to spasm the previous evening by sitting lopsided crocheting for too long.  So there I was, clutching the fork for 5 minutes wondering how on earth I was ever going to move again and wondering if I should just call the knackers yard now and have done with   Much deep breathing and a nice stiff elasticated support belt (you know, those things that ladies with wobbly pelvises get issued with) later I got the peas in and the cut in half pop bottles over the top to protect them. 

Swimming seemed to ease out some of the kinks and then whilst I headed for the shower I asked Aprilia to fill up the bird feeder as they are scoffing it at a fair rate at the mo.  2 minutes later she was in the bathroom describing in great detail the small creepy crawlies  surging out of the seed bin.  When I wombled downstairs to look I realised that they were weevels and then it dawned on me that I have an open bag of oats in the kitchen (big sack like Barbara fetches to Melrose!) and of course bags of flour in the cupboard.  Not any more i don’t   So no more flapjacks, choccie oaties or porridge til I go shopping again (have already done this week’s shop) but at least I have 1 bag of each type of flour safe as tehy were in the tupper tubs, just the "spare" bags have had to go.

And I’ve misplaced my specs (again!!) but before I misplaced them I sat on them and 1 lens popped out and was a pig to pop bck in.  Thankfully they didn’t seem to be pushed out of shape too badly but I do wonder if they have sneaked off to lick their wounds in private somewhere to teach me a lesson

And the suspense waiting for my latest TMA to come back is killing me!  The due date was a week ago, she’s had it now for over 2 weeks as I got it in early and last time I got it back the day after the due date.  I don’t want to launch into TMA 3 until I’ve read her comments on 2 in case tehre’s anything I need to do differently but I want to put it to bed and move on so taht I don’t start losing momentum (any more momentum than i alaredy have anyway!) and get behind.  There are no "reading weeks" in this course at all so if I fall behind I’m stuffed!

On the plus side though…..

Aprilia read a bit more again and is fired up to finish  a full set of books as each set "erns" her a fairy book.  As Daddy is half way through the set of Wether Fairies, she *needs* the gem fairies ready for him to read after that!

The runner beans are settling in well and have started scrabbling up the frame which means I need to crack on and put some strings onto the frame for them to really get going up.  maybe tomorrow….

 The swimming pool was lovely and warm and much swimmng was done.

 The sun is shining, my darling child is entertaining herself and I have absolutely no plans for the day so we can take it very much as it comes.  I suspect  I should get dressed though…. just in case anyone comes to the door!
