Black bins (general household rubbish) alternate weeks with a recycling collection. During the summer (I think it’s quite a long ‘summer’) there a garden waste collection on the same week as recycling. I don’t have a brown bin as my garden is teeny so neither generates much waste nor does it need anything extra taking up space!

Cait, that’s great news!

I’m on it! I made an egg sleeping bag the other day - dog balaclava should be fairly straightforward. 😉 -
I do and it makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Am just a bit manic at school right now - there are several ‘challenges’ at the moment which are not remotely Covid related and somehow that seems to make them even more frustrating and tiring!

Dear Cait, thinking of you and sending love.xx
-
Thank you for all those ideas. The middle one, in particular, loves crafts and I know she’d love a little kit of some kind. I really like the idea of me sending them a friendship bracelet.
-
No problem! I love giving presents!

There seem to be increasing numbers of different letterbox gifts around now and I love getting things through the post. I have seen tea, flowers, biscuits and cheese among others. I am thinking of putting some together for loved ones I have only seen on a screen for ages and will only see that way for a good while to come. So, I have two questions: 1. What would you wish for in a letterbox gift for yourself? 2. What would you put in a box for a child? I’m thinking of one for my niblings (aged 3, 8 and 12) and so far have come up with: a Lego minifigure, packet of seeds, a sweet treat of some kind. Any other ideas?!

Happy Friday everyone, it's been a long week! Hope you're all ok. This weekend is mostly going to be sorting out class lists for next year. I also really need to do some washing up!
-
I just wanted to second and third what people have already said. Because of role in school I have been in relatively regularly. I was still nervous before the first day and lots of staff were really anxious. All of them have said that they felt so much better after the first day was done. There was lots of new stuff (handwashing, cleaning) which we have got used and settled in to new routines. Children have coped really well. I’m loving having 6 instead of 30! We didn’t get everything nailed before before we went back but little niggles and uncertainties have been quickly ironed out. It’s ok!

Well the first Friday in bubble school has gone well although I am starving! I’ve already had tea and may need to eat serious pudding! Have a lovely weekend everyone.

I haven’t had children today but we had a big H&S briefing. Children tomorrow.

Such brilliant news for you and Mr S Sunnyday! 😄

Thanks for that link Louby I was having an epic meeting with EY lead yesterday about how we can do virtual transition!

Peppermint chocolate slice recipe. I have a feeling there is something missing from the instructions which I work out when I make it. My mum typed the recipe out from a book she had. If you read it and ask me about where it doesn’t make sense that should fix it. I just can’t see it at the moment!
-
I’m thinking fairly loose interpretations! Strawberry shortcake and blueberry muffins are in my mind.
-
Will do! I’m trying to ration myself (with both loves!)
-
I have a chocolate peppermint slice recipe which is delicious - like a cake version of after eight mints.
-
And this is what I was playing with for a rich fruit cake blanket:
-
Would that be chocolate and pale yellow? Have never made a marble cake! This is my Black Forest colour scheme:
-
Ahh, thank you. No need to worry about me just am not always entirely sure of the day usually! As for the cake - on one memorable occasion I did forget a cake but chances are slim! This is what I’m eating at the moment - I was quite proud of the free form icing. Also, have I mentioned that my new blanket colours are based on a Black Forest gateau. Someone else’s idea but it made me think that other cake themed blanket colour schemes could be a good thing!

Yesterday was a really busy work day but I spent the evening with my crochet hook; the new blanket is coming along nicely. Today I'm going to brave Tesco, do work for next week and this afternoon I have a pictionary game by zoom which my nephew is in charge of as one of his teachers played it with them! I might, on the other hand avoid the work thing completely as I have to log on tomorrow evening anyway to upload Monday's learning. If I do that though I really need to make sure I start first thing in the morning. It is nice to have a completely school free day at the weekend. Decisions, decisions... I also need to eat some more of the whole orange cake I made the other day, very tasty but not too sweet!

Happy birthday! Have a lovely day!

Well, I’m currently in pjs doing some (surprise, surprise) crochet. I did have a leaflet through the door about some street celebrations. We’re not, historically, a very sociable street and I’m a little apprehensive but we’ll see.
