Dear Sink,
Although promised, I didn't get the chance to get on yesterday to update. I was busy during the day, and it was Keith's birthday so spent the evening with him. We sat on the couch; watched the Lee Evans DVD and scoffed crisps; until I fell asleep!
I sent Phoenix to nursery in the morning as I didn't to unsettle his routine. It was really quiet because of the public Holiday; Phoenix had fun so that's the main thing. I spent the afternoon making a Jamie Oliver chicken and leek pie (One of Keith's favourite) and a Victoria sponge cake instead of a birthday cake. Phoenix and I also made fairy cakes and Phoenix decorated them with blue icing and hundreds and thousands.
We were out the back this morning at 10am and I cut the grass and started to tidy it a bit for tomorrow's Easter Egg Hunt. Beds have been stripped and the covers are now drying on the line. I try to do them every Friday but I totally forgot about them yesterday, and I had quite a bit of washing to do.
Phoenix is currently sleeping on the couch, holding onto Buzz lightyear and Woody. His new way of saying he's tired is going upstairs for a pillow and bringing it downstairs - it's quite cute! He's being very grown up about a nap. After he wakes up we'll go back outside and clean up a little bit more. I need to finish off the railings tonight - the hedges out of the front need cut but I don't think I trust myself with the hedge trimmer!
I've invited Frenchie through tomorrow as well - just trying to maximise the time Phoenix and I spend with her before she heads off onto her adventures. She has a blog which can be viewed Here. I was quite sad after our telephone call this morning. It seemed like ages away when she announced she was going travelling; but it has certainly crept up quickly. I will cry like a baby when she goes. Hopefully when she returns I'll have a newborn baby - The perfect thing to bribe her home again!
Tonight's dinner is sweet chilli chicken burgers; we have had them before which are really nice - will add that recipe aswell as the pie and sponge cake.
