Oh Artie, teething is not fun!!! Not for the baby, nor the parents xxx
Shame about your dragon game PBW. I've deleted all my subscriptions recently. The walk sounds good, you know when you've done a good walk if you ran out of water. I used to live in the East Neuk and I liked it very much. I literally just cleaned my sink as well. Today I'm also catching up on some baking to warm the house up, it's the first day it's been cool and damp here for a while.

I cleaned out my no-tech aquarium yesterday. It's in a huge green glass demijohn with plants and rocks. I see a lot of my plant stuff as art or craft but can understand if that doesn't make any sense!
Can we see please?
I've got 2 patches coming in the mail. This jacket is nearly finished! Just 2 more patches to go and with any luck, maybe I'll have it done in time for winter?
Sure! Love your patches and I love pink and teal together too. I just scanned my blog for some images, there are some flower arrangements here: https://florencemeade.com/2022/04/30/2021/ and here: https://florencemeade.com/2018/12/21/bauble-terrariums/ but I don't have a pic of the no-tech tank handy right now. Is that what you particularly wanted to see?

Someone has changed the sign post saying "Thetford Ranges" to say "Thetford ORanges". Not only in one direction of the dual carriageway, but in both directions. I only noticed that it goes in both directions today.

The baby just keeps whining and crying tonight. We are both tired from work/gardening and were hoping for a quiet night. All her teeth are coming through. I am hiding downstairs while OH is playing with her upstairs. She seems to enjoy that part of the evening before bed where she plays upstairs so we've decided to stretch it out rather than watching too much tv.

Sigh of sympathy for your poor cat, HoM. I read the nipples bit.
My day is this, Granny has come over and is doing books and playtime with the baby. She used to teach so it's particularly good for baby because she's not in a nursery. Granny knows the kind of thing she will need to learn for nursery. I'm a huge fan of her being able to choose a book and bring it over to where I'm sitting! I am now catching up on personal admin.

Today I took the baby to the woodland playgroup and the best thing was listening to the birds in the trees. All birds are 'duck' to my little one but I'm sure she'll soon get the hang of it  Post Merge: April 22, 2024, 01:08:06 PMThere is snow, there is melted ground, there is snow.. Cold, warm, cold.. this is the Finnish spring.
At the beginning of this month, I was able to admire crocuses and bumblebees. Migratory birds arrived and began searching for mates. I could smell the melted earth around me and watch the ice melt on the lake. 
Now, on Saturday, winter arrived back. I get to admire the snow-covered land and the forest again. Feel the freezing cold. But even though I love winter, I feel sad precisely because of these migratory birds, especially the small ones. They can't survive without the help of us people. Winter feeding must be continued. Most of all, I worry about the hedgehogs. I really hope I don't find them somewhere in the middle of the snow!  I heard that yesterday someone had found a hedgehog in poor condition. I hope it survived and got help in time! Now more snow and cold have been promised for the next few days. I have to be really careful now in my yard and in the woods too.
I didn't know it was like that, I just think of Finland as being like Moomintroll forest and once spring has arrived you play a flute and start planning hikes and garden parties. I love hearing you talk about where you live. We stopped feeding the birds about a month ago. There was a light frost last nigth but I think it will be the last.

@BC, thanks for the kind words. Also love the sharks! I love how people can create these handicraft items that look so real. The hammer head shark is amazing.
@Lady Frostbite I love you for being the bin police. What a good deed to do for your neighbours!
I took the baby to the woodland play group today. It's a lot to navigate for her since it's not just a room like the old playgroup and there are a lot of older kids crashing about too. But she's doing really well.

My great uncle Peter has passed away and was the last of his generation. My Mum was feeling a mixture of upset and relieved because he was very poorly. I took the baby to see her and Grampy today and we had a quiet day. I mended holes in a tea towel and two t shirts, ate lunch and then took Mum and the baby for a walk. This evening I watched the House of Lords debate on the horticultural industry, thrilling stuff! My sister has offered us TY plushies of Twighlight, Fluttershy and Cadence but they need quite a bit of work on their hair.

I'm at a loose end today. It's the final week of the Easter holidays here for kids, so all our activities have been stopped for ages. It will all go back to normal next week though. Even in this three weeks, I feel as though the baby has lost confidence with other kids. The library used to be good on a Friday but then they changed the lady who was doing it and now it's dreadful. She was reading nursery rhymes badly from a laptop and explaining why many of them are no longer PC. Not entertertaining for a baby anyway.

Not exactly nature but our male cat (who has been 'done' and is about 5 years old) has adopted a kitten who looks exactly like him. It follows him around and does everything he does. We have called it Puma 2.

It's great to learn about other toylines from looking at collections. Thanks for the breakdown of LPS @cowboyopossum, I didn't realise that what I have is all G2. I could spend all day studying this thread!

Hello all, I'm just checking in and sending good wishes to everyone for their projects. BC, I have never watched Seinfeld but I used to watch Star Trek in those blah moments when I needed to rest. I will definitely check it out.
I had a very chilly moment on Friday when I was told that I would need to spend £700 on my car to get the brakes fixed. However, my husband has done it for £50. So we are no longer in the bracket of people who get basic car work done at the garage, but in the bracket of people who spend Saturday afternoon on the driveway, horizontal. This is exactly what my parents did, we have become my parents. In fact, they only had one car when we were small. So maybe that will become a thing. Hope not. Taking the baby to a woodland playgroup today if the weather is good.
