    Alchemilla Mollis is my favorite plant.
    Been trying to dig it out of my garden as it's trying to take over the world...... well, my lawn at least :cool:. It is lovely though.

    I love the way water droplets sit in the leaves and look like diamonds when the sun shines on them.

    GG they do self-seed like mad but it suits my lazy gardening!

    Well been on a jolly good training course today. Made a mini sports wheelchair and learned how to draw blood on a dummy with actual veins and blood.

    It is coooollllddd. Spent £14 on stamps, posted an ebay parcel and I'm afraid invested in wine futures.

    Today I am grateful for
    * a free (fresh and yummy) lunch
    * Men with perfect diction
    * M our dogsitter
    * My trainee who was good company today
    * free teaching resources!

    Today I am grateful for:
    A very nice friend,
    My friend's very nice woodburner,
    The yummy content of their fridge,
    Th sun that shone (even if it was blinking cold) and
    DH getting home earlier than expected (although I expect him to be asleep in 5 mins as he was awake so early!)....

    Well now,

    I would say a NSD but have to pay the dogsitter and DH got petrol. Busy day at work but got a lunch break which is novel. I felt deadly this morning, but mind over matter and felt better by break. Looks up for DH getting some supply, which will be another hundred quid or so in party funds.

    Today I am grateful for
    * radio 4, especially Today
    * radio 3, especially the Baroque music
    * the children didn't fight today
    * in advance for an early night tonight
    * Baby's cold isn't too bad.

    I have been a bit manic today. Got a load of things started. Will I ever finish them?
    The latest homebrew is a triumph of sauvignon blanc loveliness. A quid a bottle and no cash to Mr Osborne.

    NSD

    So my five things today are
    * a log fire
    * its friiiiii day
    * my children even though they are screaming
    * my car is going ok at the moment
    * homebrew is ready!
