\"\"<\/a>Nearly bedtime, nearly Friday…and I am looking forward<\/span> to some downtime with my two sweet bunnies tomorrow.<\/p>\n

I have had a week of a topsy<\/span> turvy<\/span> house due to major plumbing work that disrupted several rooms in the house, including the kitchen – arghh<\/span>! At last, all is back to normal and my nerves are being stroked to calmness. I don’t really fare well when everything<\/span> is out of place and I think I did quite <\/span>OK in coping – spontaneous weeding of my neighbour’s garden calmed me down at the worst point of the chaos on Monday!<\/p>\n

Then, yesterday, our little Toby fell and got a nasty cut next to his eye – he was very brave for a 2 and a bit year old and entertained us all during the long stretch we spent at Accident & Emergency. “Hello ladies” he said to two nurses, who smiled and thanked him, saying they hadn’t been called lady for a long time! “Where’s my Mr Bump bandage?” was his other refrain for over 2 hours (toddler way of asking “how loooong<\/span> am I going to have to wait here?”). Ho hum, he looks kind of cool with his war wound.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Today was my first day invigilating at the gallery. Another beautiful, sunny day – the gallery is so full of light (and a little bit like a greenhouse after a few hours!). Despite feeling a bit under the weather, I enjoyed the space and made six of my mosaic stones. Here’s a picture (excuse the background).
\n\"\"<\/a>The stress of the week has been eased by looking at and smelling the gorgeous lilies my kind husband gave me as a ‘well done’ for the opening of the exhibition last week (alongside scrambled egg and smoked salmon breakfast<\/span> last Saturday<\/span>). Bliss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
