    Easter stall sounds perfect for bunnies!


    What about knitted chick egg-covers with a crème egg inside - similar to this:http://bluebrit.com/2012/knitted-easter-chicks/ There are loads of other patterns online :)

    Thank you for the pattern. I had seen those chicks and they are open in one of my tabs. I currently have no yellow wool though, so am making hats/cosies with huge pompoms on top for now.

    I left the house at 7.25am and got home for 2.10pm. 4 hours in work, 9-1. Was miffed that NO food was provided for staff (although it was for visitors), even though reason tells me that there would have been nothing gluten-free anyway!

    We have a brand new washing machine that dh found for less than half price - go him! It is currently strutting its stuff and showing off at 60 degrees.

    11 creme egg cosies completed. :D Dd wants me to work on her cardigan for a bit now...

    Bunny slope workout #6 also completed. :D

    Off up to Lunnon town for new spec training tomorrow, so a little lie-in. Though I've been waking at 5am ish recently. Ugh. Have been dozing after, but would like to go through the night...

    Me too, greent! A lesser model cost more, and we got more model for lesser price + free delivery. I say 'we', but you are right - he has finely honed bargain hunting skills!

    Training up in Lunnon done. Awesomely excellent training (+ g-f food - yummy!). Awesomely awfully sweaty packed journey both directions. How on earth do people do it on a daily basis! And I arrived at Victoria at 9 and left at 4.30, so I don't even consider my travelling times to be within the truly busy periods!

    A good shower sorted me out.

    Tomorrow I have a parents evening, starting at 5. If I get my marking done, I'll either sit and knit my creme egg cosies. Or go and get yellow wool if I can get to the shop in time (St Christopher's hospice shop sell wool, but often close before 4). Or look for cheap jeans as I have run out of denim for my bunnies... Failure to complete the marking (and the more probable scenario) means getting out my coloured pens and doing it.

    I've occasionally had to work in London for brief periods (thankfully not for years and only ever max a week at a time) - and am always glad to return to the sleepy South West, I have to confess! :)

    It's the main reason I want to be MF so we can escape London and the commute!

    Another parents evening tonight. And have realised that I must focus on that marking! And organising the letter for a trip to France. And being ready-at-all-times for the Learning Walks that are going on - we are in the 2nd week of it and I've yet to be seen... And listening to speaking tests. And being uber-ready for book scrutiny,

    But first, a coffee :D
