Right Now: A House Full of Plumbers

We are having our boiler replaced over the next three (four? more?) days, so life is a bit upsidedown here.

As you might expect, all the big stuff it happening today – water tank coming out, old boiler and gas fire coming out.

However it was good excuse to meet W in town and go have mexican food for lunch (The Mission – which was great).

Jo of Darn It and Stitch knows how to put together a good looking shop! I’m so impressed with how the OKY yarns look.

Taking photos of shop windows is tricky – you’ll just have to take my word for it that there is some OKY yarn in the window. However it does give you the oppertunity to see how big the bump has got. Yes. Huge.

Anyway if you’re in Oxford and you want to see OKY yarns in the flesh, this is the place to go. Which makes me very excited because it’s a wonderful shop.

Right Now: End of Summer

End of Summer

FB is asleep, the washing is in, the washing up is piled up (if not done), and I’m about to make sultana (well… raisin, because that’s what I’ve got in the house) scones from the River Cottage Family Cookbook.

There are good (and cheap – £1 a punnet!) strawberries in the fridge, along with thick cream.

And probably some comedy coming out of my laptop speakers thanks to the lovely iplayer.

(This is the first weekend we’ve be home and just the three of us since we moved at the end of June. And though it’s been lovely to have people come see us, and good to support family up North through some difficult times, it’s good to be here.)
