Bearing up, no cooking and longer days.

1. Being praised by the nurse for not making a fuss when my stitches were being taken out. You can see the result here.

2. Eating dry cereal out of the box for dinner.

3. Leaving work in broad daylight.

    The woman will now have a scar?

    Will the woman now look like an Action (wo)Man?

    Yes, maybe a little one. I hadn't thought of Action Man -- it's more like Harry Potter, but lower down and not shaped like lightning. John P says I look like Scarface.

    The plastic surgeon has done a wonderful job, and he was such a nice man.

    Have you seen the pic on Eddie's weblog -- whereiamworking.blogspot.com?

    There is also in existance a photo which shows the full horror of the night in question -- but I don't have it yet.

    The scar on the woman is indeed brutal.

    At least the woman is now prepared for the similar injuries she will receive once she is married - dinner not hot enough for the man, disobeying the man and the like.

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.
