Making Hay while the sun shines

Fran arrived safe and sound last night and Ben was beside himself with joy. He pounced as soon as she got her bottom on the sofa and was wrapped round her like a blanket.
He followed her upstairs and tried to sneak in to bed with her.

I woke very early and rather than rattle about downstairs and wake Fran too early, it was just 5:00, I got my crochet hook out and rattled a few of these off.

Now that I look at them spread out I see that yellow is very much in the forefront. I think that it will be a lovely bright blanket for my new home.

I will do these in the evenings in front of the TV, it helps me to sit still and watch a film in one sitting. If my hands are empty I can only manage 30 minutes before I start to jiffle.

Fran has gone to have her hair cut and Ben is despondent, just look at him.

From his expression I feel that he blames me for her leaving.

We are having all her favourites to eat so last night it was meatballs and tagliatelle, breakfast was toasted fruit bread. Lunch will be apple crumble and custard and dinner tonight is Roast Beef. We are having pudding for lunch to make sure that we have room to eat it.

Reasons to be grateful.

1. Fran home for a little while.

2. Seeing Ben delirious with joy.

3. Listening to Graham Norton on the radio this morning.

4. The wonderful Galton Blackinstone was on Saturday Kitchen so I sat for a while and watched him.

5. The day is sunny and warm enough that I walked Ben without a jacket.

Galton is a very talented chef and is rarely seen on TV, I have his books and use them often. It was a pleasure to watch him in action. As Sunday lunch is more than my weeks budget I will not be partaking at his hotel.

Fran is back so I am off to make custard.
