Been to Cornwall for a couple of days. Eden Project, dip in the Cornish sea then a bimble around Golitha Falls.
Well worth the 7-hour drive each way!

Anyone visiting the St Austell part of #Cornwall - get yourself asking to a first bathe at #GolithaFalls x

I have turned the small squares into a small blanket and am about to embark on a teddy, using the same yarn. Not sure about colours yet....
Middle square will be a cushion cover.
Lemonade out of lemons.

I am making lemonade from lemons! The 20 squares I made are too small for the central piece they were made to surround 😕
I'm turning these redundant squares into a small blanket then I'm going to make a teddy to go with it.
All I need is:
a) to finish
b) a small child to give them to.
Be reyt!

Been to the Glasshouse (née Sage) in Gateshead to see Simon Boccanegra. Brilliant place to stage an opera - acoustics awesome. Incredible singers/orchestra, loved the chorus singing from various places in. All in all, wish I'd discovered opera years ago - it's not just for poshos! #OperaNorth

When you finish all 20 border squares, only to realise you should have used a size larger hook.
Oh well, I'll be starting them again.

Wonder if I can make a bag or something from the too-small squares?

Yesterday on my home visits I saw a stream running past someone's house, a squirrel nibbling a nut under a tree, and this rather splendid door wreath. Hello spring!

This was the most emo thing I have seen/heard in my entire life - I loved it!!
The orchestra and singers gave us their absolute all & were magnificent.
(the less said about the set design and direction, the better, however).

Settle a domestic for me; it IS normal to lay out the ingredients of your #Gousto (or similar) delivery & check the ingredients are all there, yes?
What kind of heathen chucks everything in the cupboard/fridge in blind faith??

Thank you #Nigeria for some lovely food!
Got an "African vegan" cookbook so tonight cooked jollof party rice, fried plantain & a peanutty veg stew. Also bought fufu from the African supermarket in town - turns out that's a wee bit sour and really good with the stew!

Back from the gym & I'm really hungry!
#Brunch of seitan (with a spicy sauce), tomatoes, big mushroom and a sort of deconstructed rosti made from cabbage and grated potato. It tastes better than it looks, thank goodness! #VeganFood

Gym & swim this morning... Hard going today, I did about half my usual exercise. Making up for it with a slightly blustery walk home.

Spring has officially sprung - I'm having a breakfast smoothie in the garden and the cat's decided to join me.
