Blooming marvellous

So whose idea was it to try and update two blogs every day? Not mine. Oh, yes, it was. Foolish woman.

I have no photos of today’s highlight, sadly. I can relate, however, that I enjoyed a quick and spontaneous cuppa with the lovely Bsouth, who lives close to where my girls go to school. Bsouth’s own lovely girl, The Girl, was disappointed that I didn’t have Rosie and Jenny with me, but cheered up when I suggested she walk down with me to the school playground to meet R and J from their classrooms. I’d already told her that children wouldn’t be in their usual uniforms, as it was dress-up day, based on the theme of Under the Sea. Rosie had a wig made by yours truly from silvery blue tinsel that made her look, frankly, quite wild. Jenny had adapted her comfy black cat all-in-one Halloween costume by adding strips of green crepe paper (seaweed) and went as a  . . . .  (drum roll) . . . .  a Catfish.

The Girl was good company and I managed not to lose her, allow her to be injured, or frighten her on this little expedition. She was a little flower.
