Late nights & cake

My bed felt far to comfy this morning and i really really didn't want it to be 7am.  Thats because i had a late night last night, at Psychic night, its a fundraising event i organised for the gala, we have them every other month and have done for few years, its one of the things i inherited when i took over and its a great night and we always raise good money. I only started going this year as i was always a bit scared to be honest, but actually its not scary at all. I have had two readings  the past and both were very accurate and quite specific about things, the first time i think it was one of my relatives that came through, and the second time i feel it was one of Pauls, just because they told me things i wouldn't have known and only confirmed when i got home and told him. I didn't get a reading last night but have booked a private reading for next month, its fascinating me now. Yesterday i spent a day baking some cakes to sell in the evening, that was fun, a day baking and knitting, not such a hard life! As usual my two favorite cakes went down well and i have promised the recipes to a couple of people so i though i will put them on here as well, will do it later in the week.

Despite feeling super sleepy, it was a really nice walk to school, when the weather is nice and sunny, but with a slight mist nip in the air, you can feel the season changing to autumn. I even wore my new chunky poncho i finished a few weeks ago, its so soft i think it will get well worn.

Last weekend was really really lazy for us, we did nothing and i mean nothing ( apart from i tiny bit of food shopping, well you gotta eat!) i cooked roast dinner and we sat in the hot tub, the last hot tub of the year as we really have to pack it away now( tearing up here), i will really really miss it, well we both will, its been so nice on summer evenings to sit out in the back with a couple of Bacardi and chat and relax, its so peaceful, and in the last weeks we have looked for constellations after its gone dark, but most of all it was nice to sit together outside and chat about random things without any distractions, like telly, computers and phones. ,We don't do that often enough, like now we are sat on the couch, telly is switched off and we are talking but i am on laptop and he is on tablet, its nice to be without these things sometimes.

The last week while the kids have been at school and in between all my commitments i have been getting on with Paul's jumper and i am really pleased with how its turning out, it is nice to have a bit of time to myself every now and then. Its even better if Fred and Alex take a nap at the same time , which is rare as Fred doesn't usually nap anymore. They been making the most of the garden though which they love and it keeps them occupied for ages so i can sit down.

Yarndale is next weekend and i had planned on going, but have decided against it as it would just mean spending money on even more yarn (i sill haven't used the yarn i bought last year!) and i just bought all i need for the rest of this years projects as they had a sale on, so i am going to save the cash for a weekend away that Molly and i are going on in a few weeks, we are going to see Disney on Ice and stay over night, just the two of us, a little girly weekend, i am so looking forward to it.

Oddly enough even though i am so tired i can't keep my eyes open i have had a really productive day and done lots of gala planning so maybe a late night every now and then is not so bad
