Time and Thankfully it's the holidays.

Wednesday Evening
After a fantastic four week stint at a school in Surrey, I can say I am ready for my break.  I have thoroughly enjoyed the work, the children and being with the staff... (who have thoughtfully, invited me to their end of term/year get together).  It has been great fun as we have worked on a topic base for these last few weeks and although their is a wide variety in outcome, I think they did quite well to build models and produced ICT and written contributions.  I have now brought it all home to mark and will give it to staff tomorrow to give back.  Nothing like pushing time as I have to take MIL to the hospital again for another check-up before she actually goes in for hip op in September, and then get ready to go to the staff-do!  DH is going to his company's evening at the local bowling alley where he works and so there was an issue with our one and only car but hey... these things have a way of resolving themselves..... I'm having it!  I wasn't but he's decided to stay at work and go on from there then catch the train home. YAY!

Thursday
I have at last completed the baby quilts... given one and one to go.  Hopefully I will see my friend next week to do this.  I have great plans to quilt till I drop over the holiday, but these things have a habit of not materialsing...   We have been invited to a wedding in November, so am considering using one of my UFO's for a wedding present.  The trouble is, it is probably too flowery for the gentleman in question, but perfect for his bride to be (who is dainty, petite and feminine). I will have to see what DH says (who promoted the idea of a quilt as a present.  At least he can appreciate what I do now... he has never really liked/enjoyed any of my other 'hobbies'.

I spent last night wakeful and in pain, due to a migraine.  I was over-tired, had eaten a rich and heavy curry (I have been on a diet for the last month and already lost 9.5lb's, which I am totally chuffed about as it has taken 18 months to get my head around doing it) so am really tired as a result and unusually, my tablets have not really cleared it - I am down to my last four and NOT for the love of money can I find anywhere that has them...guess they're not being made anymore. 

I am picking MIL about 11.30 so we have plenty of time to get to the hospital which means I have to leave no later than 11.15... maybe I can get an hour's sleep if I go now... so until later... adieu dear reader!
