I have a new weather station gadget which I got for my birthday. It's currently on a pole in a planter but eventually will try and get it on the shed roof. It's currently reading 1 degree warmer than the one at the CL but has the advantage that the wind, pressure and sunshine sensors actually work!

Happy birthday to me! We're going to do presents after work/school but I've opened my cards that came by post (or were received earlier) this morning.

I can testify to not owning a car when I broke my ankle, nor when my medium-sized child was small.

It always seems to be pretty random and really annoying. Then you get the jars of herbs and the prices are suddenly mostly per *10* grams. Except the odd one or two brands which are still in 100g and look ridiculous in comparison.

In better news: we spent the weekend playing computer games and baking, we made banana choc chip muffins (to stop the bananas making a bid for world domination) and a Haunted House kit:

Turns out it was Raspberry not Strawberry. Overall pretty tasty, but may be better with stronger cheese, and chonkier bread. Wouldn't eat every day but a nice change.

I spent some of yesterday afternoon holding a 20 year old captive-bred barn owl called Professor. He was lovely! I was also spending time throwing axes at things. Not *terribly* successfully, but I did eventually get a couple to stick in the target.

I went retro last night and insisted on carving a swede. It only took as long as it takes a 12 year old to do two pumpkins :)

The plan was to go to Scotsdales for lunch, however we took one look at the people queueing out of the door of the cafe and just bought some plants instead (and cakes in the new deli/food hall) before heading home via the bakery in Shelford and getting back just before the heavy rain.

I did it! I finally finished the Arbor Day Squardle from last year. It's taken me forever to find the last 50 words or so.

I dread to think how much this lot would cost... though to be fair I've stopped these from falling over by filling the shelves up completely.
I actually need to solve the problem of how to *find* books when some are arranged alphabetically, some by size, and some by how recently purchased.
