Apart from a routine visit to my dentist, I've......
.....been taking part in the Seven Days of Specialness swap which is doing just what it was intended to do - brightening these grey, early February days with a special little something to open each day over a week. My swap partner (who has chosen really really well) had the brilliant idea of sending my seven colourful packages (photograph of everything I received to follow) in a spotty cake tin which matches our spotty plates and dishes.
......baked a rather delicious looking chocolate cake as a change from the usual cupcakes for the Husband's birthday. Unfortunately, it was "sampled" by the new little tabby resident who was accidentally locked in the dining room with it. For half an hour. Who knew cats like buttercream?
......viewed the latest exhibition at MIMA*, a fantastic facility right in the centre of town. We're regular visitors - admission is free and the coffee bar is excellent.
.......added some charity shop purchases to the book pile. Although I read Hideous Kinky some time ago, I couldn't resist this pristine copy and the opportunity for a re-read.
......made no progress with the dressmaking plans since the previous post, apart from the purchase of a couple of reels of thread, though work has resumed on my autumn project (which could well become a project for spring and beyond). I think my new mantra should be "I've started so I'll finish".
