Big one eight, secrets and freedom.

-
1. For the last few days there has been a bit of secretiveness and hiding of things in envelopes at work. We celebrated Madie's 18th birthday by decorating her desk and eating cake and jelly and icecream and letting off confetti bombs and screaming balloons. Then we took her to the pub and made her buy a legal round for us all.

2. Holey cheese because of the thought that no-one has seen the shiny insides of the holes before.

3. A stream of commuters striding out of the station.

    Confetti in the office?

    4. Putting confetti (the sparkly kind) into balloons at the office. And enjoying the sparkles on the carpet for the next few months, while the poor cleaning crew with their cheap vacuums are unable to Hoover them up.

    "...and each man fixed his eyes before his feet.
    Flowed up the hill and down King William Street,
    To where Saint Mary Woolnoth kept the hours
    With a dead sound on the final stroke of nine".
    T S Eliot saw communters rather differently. Congratualtions on the second birthday of Three beautiful Things. The first birthday of my version comes up soon.

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.
