Another bank holiday weekend rolls around, they should really just bank them and let us have them when this shit show is over.
On Friday morning Jack and I got our bake on and made some cookies for a friend’s birthday. We worked surprisingly well in the kitchen together, we did have to get some advice from Baking Connoisseur Amy on how spaced out the cookies should be on the tray. We really hyped ourselves up when we’d made the dough that they were going to be the best cookie’s we’d ever tasted, plot spoiler they weren’t, but they still tasted yummy. They just needed a little bit more chocolate, we were too restrained. He delivered these to Zoe on Saturday who was very grateful for them and the card that I had made the other day.
Jack had a zoom workshop on Friday afternoon so I spent a good few hours doing some more birthday planning and crafting, Amy and mum got involved too. I’ve concluded that Jack will either get all the questions right on the quiz or absolutely none, only time will tell.
Jack had his weekly games night on Friday meanwhile the rest of us watched ‘Emma’, the new film based on the Jane Austen novel. I really enjoyed it, I thought the cast were brilliant (a few familiar faces from Sex Education which is one of my all time favourite series) and it was visually very lovely. Definitely a film I’d put on and curl up and watch on a rainy day.
Saturday started with a pretty hardcore abs and bum workout, we got a delivery mid way through so the DPD driver was met with a very red and sweaty Megan. Our quads have been on fire ever since.
I finally finished the paint by numbers I’ve been working on for the majority of isolation, only took me three months. It’s been a very therapeutic thing to do and I’m pretty chuffed with how it’s come out. I think I might struggle to find another one as I think a lot of people are having the same urge for crafting. Maybe I’ll have to finish the cross stitch that I’ve literally been working on for 2 years.
We saw the most beautiful rainbow yesterday afternoon, it was one of the most vivid ones I’ve ever seen. There was also a really weird moment where it was raining at the top of the drive but not at the bottom so you could literally run in and out of the rain. I feel like the rainbow was particularly lovely as it’s kind of become the symbol of hope in 2020. As well as the almost constant rain showers yesterday it was also very windy. Mum and Amy risked their lives on their walk to Norton, legging it when they heard a particularly creaky tree. They saw some lambs, some calves and more importantly some dogs (also a farmer that had a very suspiciously violent cough – uh oh!).
