Last night I woke at 2.45 and was still awake at 5.45, then the alarm went off at 6 and I WAS sleeping then. Danny's car broke down when they were away at the weekend (Cardiff, to celebrate his birthday) and so I have to be up early to take Emma to the train to Carmarthen - she is working away there for two days.
Tam and Rosie were here for the weekend, and I didn't stop. I can hardly say what I did, except it was non-stop - cooking a curry for our tea, washing up, seeing to Keith (this mops up several hours), washing up, helping Tam with a crying Rosie (she is a colicky baby), baking a Lemon Drizzle cake for Tam to take back with her, washing up, stripping and making up a fresh bed, washing bed linen and hanging up, washing D&E's stuff and hanging up, seeing to Keith, sewing a little Barbie-doll quilt for "I" (she's always pinching my clean dish cloths for them!) and when I went out late Saturday afternoon to do half an hour's gardening, it began to pick with rain and then our chatty farmer neighbour came by and I stood in the rain and chatted to him for half an hour . . . He is interested in local history, so likes to have a natter - don't think his brothers are interested. Oh and I also researched and priced items for the Antiques Fair next weekend . . .
So what with baby cuddles, and her NOT wanting to sleep, it was pretty tiring.
Anyway, I finished the Barbie-quilt,
and the last curtain for the summerhouse, and now perhaps I can finish the last quilt I began over 3 years ago. If I get the time, that is. I really MUST try and get out and carry on weeding in the garden because once May is here everything goes into overdrive. I need to finish pricing stuff too . . .
Now, I must away and take Emma to the train, and it's back to look after Keith and take "I" to school and then dance later on. No peace for the wicked.
