Scooters, this way and compliment.

-
1. Two little girls scootering to school. In my commuting days -- this was the height of the scooter craze-- I used to walk along the King's Road, which is a place where people are so rich they can afford to make their children look like little freaks. Anyway, I used to walk past two small girls on scooters and they would always be wearing: red pixi hats with long tassels and royal blue capes that came down to their knees and red tights. They looked rather sweet, it must be said, but they wouldn't have survived five minutes at my primary school.

2. Green footpath signs.

3. Being told that Nicky wants to make her room look like my flat -- I'm guessing she means the floor-to-ceiling books, rather my 'add stuff I like and hope it doesn't clash with the curtains' philosophy of interior decor. Anyway, I'm very flattered and I'm glad she likes my gaff.

    Yesterday I found a perfect rose sticking out of a trash can.

    Today I found two dollars in the parking lot at Trader Joe's.

    Both beautiful.....

    Too many BTs to mention this weekend. Some include:

    1. Seeing my first dragonfly of the summer.
    2. Pimms, made just right.
    3. Mum's garden full of roses.
    4. The way the dogs roll and squirm on their backs. They look just like the cartoons of Snoopy dancing, with big smiles on their faces.
    5. Peace Fleece knitting needles, from Russia. I got a free sample through and I am trying them out. Their lollipop-ness tickles me. www.peacefleece.com/knitting%20needle.htm

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.
