Life has been pretty good here so far. I've been planning the garden, so the next step will be to dig out veg plots, the herb garden and the flower beds. After that we'll have to choose what to grow which could be quite a task, considering the varieties of both veg and flowers available. We'll have to make a start on that soon.
On Sunday I had a day off, so I went to the Game Fair at Scone Palace with my Dad and Emma. Despite the rain at the very start, we had a really good day. The weather cleared up and there was lots to see. The food hall was especially good, and I got my first taste of oyster which was really nice! I always thought the texture would be unpleasant but it was actually quite good. I also got some game pies, which are lovely, chocolate and wine for Barry, and I had to resist buying some Lanark Blue stilton.
I was excited to find a tent selling baskets, and ended up coming home with three. One for wood, a fruit basket and a wee basket for picking berries. I also found a stall selling baby t-shirts, and bought Hazel a badger t-shirt. I couldn't not buy her a badger top.
I was hoping to buy some discounted Hunter wellies, but they were all pretty expensive. But yesterday while browsing the internet, I came across a website selling them cheap. So I have ordered a pair of purple Hunter wellies.
Hazel has been pretty amusing recently. She seems to have decided that she likes making random noises for long periods of time. Yesterday she spent the morning shouting 'inngu' and 'eh' at her rubber giraffe. In the evening she found that she could make interesting noises while sticking her tongue out. A mouth full of hand was also interesting apparently.
Emma and Dad came over for the day yesterday which was nice. Dad and I went for a walk with Hazel, then he made us all stew, which was very yummy. After they left, we watched Torchwood, which is really good! I'm looking forward to tonight's episode. Today, I'm hoping to make brownies, but I don't know if I'll have the chance. I can't put Hazel in her chair because I had to wash it this morning. I think the afternoon will be spent putting up with the thumping of upstairs' grandchildren. Oh joy.
