Every Day Horizons

Dining

To make up for our separate Valentine’s day, Rich cooked us as scrummy steak dinner and we shared his vintage wine which was a gift from a client which he got for being awesome. We both feel a bit woozy now.

Walking

I am not sure when it happened but sometime this week, Evelina started walking more than crawling.

Missing

Kate — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 23:30:10 +0000

Today was the first valentine’s day the Rich and I spent apart. He was working up in Northumberland while I was down here, watching TV.

Working from Home

Kate — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 23:16:15 +0000

With my week at home last week, I had tried to get on with as much of my work as possible (I had brought stuff home to do) but I ended up doing a lot today and I would have done more but I had an evening meetup with a friend arranged to discuss sew make believe money matters. What should have been an hour or so chat turned into an all-evening marathon. Good times.

Lunching

Kate — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 23:14:49 +0000

We were meant to be going to a Carvery for lunch with Rich’s parents today but when we called to book our table, they were fully booked. Cue a last minute trip to the supermarket to get some food in for lunch and a fairly mediocre beef roast later, we were fed and my in-laws were able to spend some time with Evelina.

Nesting

Kate — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 23:12:50 +0000

After just 14 months of living in our house, we are finally getting around to putting our own touches on it down to the simplest things like arranging the furniture how we want it. Because we were not here when the removal men delivered everything (I was busy being in labour), chests of drawers ended up in places which we wouldn’t have chosen. We have a long way to go but we are getting there.

Eating

Kate — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 23:00:26 +0000

Tonight was a girls’ night out for our NCT group. So much fun, laughter, embarrassing stories and wine. I ate hearb pancakes with gruyere and ham with cheese for afters! I love cheese.

Cutting

Kate — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:09:51 +0000

After some baby play fun this afternoon, I spent a couple of hours with Gill tonight showing her how to cut her fabric for the quilt she is making for her baby boy. I am just starting to get that whilst I am by now means an expert, I am not a novice sewist anymore.

Sampling

Kate — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 23:07:18 +0000

Tonight I led a sew make believe workshop making a block for my sampler quilt. It was so much fun and although it was a lot of work today getting everything ready, I think people enjoyed it and got something out of it.

Skiving

Kate — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 23:04:46 +0000

I was meant to be at work today but as my parents (and therefore childcare) were away, I didn’t have to go in. It’s going to be great to have Evie to myself all week!
