Croome house
Today we had a family outing national trust adventure!
It did not cure my hangover, but there was an interesting collection of art.
And deck chairs.

Gin festival
I don't know why I do this to myself. The gin festival was actually really good this year.
Last time they had 4 or 5 seminars with free gin at them.
This time there were no seminars. Just 12 stalls of free samples. And each stall had at least 3 gins to try. On top of that we bought drink tokens which only came in blocks of 4.
After all the freebies, 4 drinks was unnecessary.
I tried boutique-y spit roasted pineapple gin.
It's amazing!
4 hours of day drinking made the rest of my Saturday a bit of a write off. I ended up having a drunken nap on the sofa. And eating my own weight in Bombay mix.
Such a bad hangover.

Swimming and pie
We had planned paddle boarding, but the wind was still too strong.
Instead we went swimming as Emma is training for a triathlon, then we went for our in the beehive.
And we petted pubcat.

Kitties and waffles and running
We had planned to do park run this morning and then to go paddle boarding.
Storm Hannah ruined our plans!
We ended up watching a David Attenborough documentary for most of the morning before we decided what to do.
In the end we went to the hydro for a run (yay! 5k!)
We rewarded ourselves with a few hours in the Turkish baths.
In the evening we went for Albie cuddles and then made waffles!

Sewing day
Traditional bank holiday sewing day!
We made pyjamas- which was my first foray into trousers.
Very easy. I will be making more.
Then I made a cute wayerwater top. Which was properly challenging. And requires a zipper which I didn't bring.
So I'll be finishing it off later in the week.

Good Friday
Today Traff and I are both off, so we had a date day!
I made fancy cous cous salad yesterday so we could take a picnic lunch out with us.
We ended up lunching in Queens park, then walking up to old town to see the view from nob hill and the cherry blossoms.
We saw Caroline there, painting!
Then a looonngg walk home along the old railway line.
I've spent all afternoon lazing on the lawn with a cushion, drinking cups of tea!
It's perfect.

Maundy Thursday
Our office closes for 5 days over Easter so yesterday I was able to spend time in the sunshine!
I had an appointment in old town so I took a picnic to eat in the gardens.
The cherry blossoms are all out!

Another productive Saturday!
I got up early and did the run that I didn't want to do on Friday night. I ended up doing a 6k walk run (more walk after I fell down a hole avoiding an excited, wet spaniel).
I made a paddle picnic, and re dyed my hair (so that it's faded a bit before trist and Kat's wedding).
In the afternoon, Ellie, Tracey and I went on an epic 10k paddle!

Home improvement pt 3: the electrician
Sorry, to my 6 regular readers! I've sucked at updating this again. But, largely it's because I've been super busy and partly because I've downloaded the Reddit app.
Anyway, we had the floor fitter out from John Lewis last Thursday to do a quick check and confirm the quotes etc.
He found some rather intetesinte wiring to a few of our plug socks and suggested it might be wise to remove them- but otherwise we just need to take the skirting boards off and get our final quotes and we should be good to go!
So the electrician came out on Thursday this week and it genuinely took him 25 minutes to remove them all! It was impressive.
