Beautiful day, captive cloud and tiny chocs.

-
1. I am woken by Katie telling me it's a beautiful day.

2. The coffee pot is warmed and a captive cloud of steam is sitting in the bottom, making it look like a beaker from a mad scientist's lair.

3. Emily brings a box of tiny chocolates, and a packet of custard creams to eat with our tea.

    My beautiful thing for the day is seeing a little boy, about 5 years old, being dropped off by his mum...wearing his pyjamas, dressing gown and slippers! And the lack of embarrassment he showed when I said good morning to them!
    I think we all long for the days when our, albeit disapproving, Mums let us go out shopping in our fairy princess outfit or spider man fancy dress!

    I never seen anything like this before. Maybe I should start doing something like this.

    I know one of mine from yesterday would have to be being able to play basketball outside for the first time in months.

    I like how you encapsulate so many memories in only 3 short paragraphs.

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.
