Shopping anyone, supplies and ballerina length.

1. The Mother being all excited about buying clothes for herself.

2. Having a food parcel packed up for me by my mother -- there is ham and tangerines and salad and some rhubarb pudding and a big piece of cake (this is supposed to be for work).

3. Trying on my bridesmaid dress and discovering that it still fits; and that the bride and groom approve of it; and that it makes me smile every time I catch sight of myself in the mirror.

    4. Realizing the bridesmaid dress was for a wedding only three months ago. But still nice that it fits.

    Ha, ha Joe! When were you a bridesmaid? I'd love to have seen the pictures of that wedding.

    This wedding is not until September; but we bought it before Christmas because the bride is hyper organised.

    I think it's great that you have a bridesmaid dress you like. Anyone who has ever been a bridesmaid will realize how beautiful -- and rare -- that is!

    So it's for a wedding that did not happen yet? wow, that is advanced preparedness.

    the bride is not "hyper organised", she has just learnt that when you see something you like you should get it, as you'll never find it again. It's not my fault that red isn't the "colour" this year.....

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.
