Lazy Sunday

There's always something deliciously lazy about long sunny Sundays, when you wake up in your own time, the sun beaming through the curtains luring you out to do lazy sunday activities. This Sunday personified the perfect lazy day:

 I found with the whole day ahead of me and no work to do (a allow myself one day off a week) I didn't want to stay in bed, me, I wannted to bake. And bake I did, much to the consternation of my alarmed housemates (there's such a thing as 9am on a Sunday?!!)

  We proceeded to laze the day away, trimming some hair here.
Then we were inticed down to the fair.

Ending with some candyfloss moustaches!!

A Soupcon Of Success

Despite loving the stuff, I have always been reputedly bad at making soup. But it would seem my luck has changed. Yesterday I made sweet potato and carrot soup and it, even though I say it myself, was delicious and went down a treat with the girls:
 The recipe was:
  1. Fry  half an onion finely sliced with 2 cloves of crushed garlic (I adore garlic so I used 4 but that's just me) in butter for 5 minutes or until very soft.
  2. Add a chopped sweet potato and a chopped carrot (approx 1cm cubes) and cover with chicken stock. Sprinkle some cumin in.
  3. Bring to the boil and simmer for 30 minutes or until the vegetables are soft and mushy, top up with water if necessary.
  4. Blend, stir in milk and a sprinkle of black pepper. Serve.

Wonky

What would happen if, everything that had been so regimentally straight:
 All turned a little bit wonky?
  Oh dear.
''It's just so wonky!!! I need it to be straight''


n.b. no Hannah's were harmed in the making of this blog.

Perfection

Visiting my Nan's this weekend I snapped this beautiful shot of my sister:
Maybe I'm just overly proud but I just think that she looks like the perfect pregnant lady, everything from the partially knitting blanket right down to the pink fluffy socks.

I like this one too. Maybe a bit too much birthday cake!

Scrabble

What's happened to us?! 2am on a Friday night and we're in playing scrabble:
The Dyslexic v. The English Student

Despite early promise from The Dyslexic, The English Student did remain true to form and pull a spectacular victory with 'relaxed'.

Mischief

I suggested we make his room a mirror image, someone else joined in and suggested we turn it upside down, it took one more to say that it was easier to just wreck it. Either way it appear's he's done something to anger the gospel statue:
He saw the funny side.
