Tall tales, bluebells and job done.

-
1. In the car on the way to work, chewing over a story idea in with Oli and getting the benefit of his experience on the matter.

2. Bluebells in flower under the hedge.

3. Moving the final page from the pile of unproofread pages to the proofed pile.

    4. Finding the empty pile refilled with an even larger stack when you get back from having that cuppa.

    I simply adore your web pages, Clair. Last year I was struck by a Transit at 50 miles per hour and life got pretty awful. But, your three pearls of daily wisdom keep my bleak spirits high. maybe I should take the plunge and blog, too?

    Hi Clare,

    You have an interesting blog, and I like the title.

    I see that one of your interests is “looking closely at things”.

    The link below lists some things that I’ve looked closely at.

Bee, green beans and movie night.

-
1. An enormous fat bumble bee at work. She is so bulky that she can knock dead blossoms out of the way as she gets right in to the new jasmine flowers. 2. Green beans squeaking in my teeth. 3. We watch The Goonies . It's fun to see it through adult eyes; and it's fun to see my daughter suddenly understanding gags and references that she's seen in other media.

Midsummer, feeding and cakes.

1. The shortest night and the longest day. I was up at Wellington Rocks with Anna, Paul and Jason. We couldn't see the sun through the mizzling clouds, but we had got up at 4am and were there observing the moment it came up, and that's what counts. 2. Food at The Junction Inn , Groombridge. All four lunchclub members were impressed by the quality -- although the portions were rather small. I had smoked eel with beetroot cream (Oli says that sounds like witch food, but it was delicious, and didn't taste of beetroot at all); Ed and Doug had wild mushroom risotto; and Johnny P got his face round a huge homemade burger. It had chips with it that were very good too -- I know this because I stole some. 3. Taking The Mother's homemade cakes to work. There were three -- one chocolate, one coffee and walnut and one lemon with homemade jam in the middle. There was a lot of stickiness in the office for most of the afternoon.

As needed, forgotten cake and syrup.

1. I promised myself I wouldn't moan and grumble about it -- but I do. And as if by magic, a very kind friend produces the required blazer (and also the next size up). 2. I'd forgotten that I'd added a tiramisu cake to the shopping order. 3. The elderberry syrup is now so thick that it coats the spoon.
