Homemade treats, happy hens and a yurt
1. Dinner in a pop-up yurt with friends, with yurt and dinner provided by our veg box company. The food (and company) was fantastic!
2. A friend gave me a bottle of homemade elderflower cordial after hearing that I didn’t manage to find citric acid in time to make any. Kind and delicious.
3. Chocolate chip cookies for a colleague’s birthday came out nice and chewy
4. A night out with work to look for nightjars was great fun - we heard and saw nightjars, and I can see why people didn’t use to like them, as they are quite spooky when they fly. A bonus was seeing glow-worms - something I didn’t expect to see in the UK as they aren’t very common! They were a very vivid, alien green.
5. Although my work is fairly grim at the moment (lots of spending cuts and deregulation with the ocasional dose of scary climate news - thank goodness the spending challenge website where people can nominate spending cuts isn’t public anymore as that was depressing yet addictive) I am constantly reminded how great my colleagues are, which of makes it easier.
6. In preparation for having friends over next week, we have washed the windows and tidied the piles of pots and compost etc in the backyard.
7. So many colleagues keep chickens now, I can buy most of my eggs from their happy hens
