1) A silver lining – despite the fact I’ve spent the last couple of days painstakingly unpicking two days worth of knitting, I know that I will be able to do a much better job of the new technique second time round!

2) A weekend of hard, but satisfying work leaves the garden in much better shape. We’re nearly finished!

3) K goes out late on a Sunday evening to get oil for the car, to save me from having to do during what is shaping up to be a ridiculously busy week. Thanks my love xxx
