LAst night saw MP dining with her bezzie mate Nnav and family. Barbeques in evening sunlight in the quieter corners of South London. Anyway, it was a fun day- we went to the park with Nnav's new baby cousin who's now a tall 2 year old and honestly the most charming and beautiful baby boy I've seen in a long time. Learning to play catch and playing piggy in the middle (although that was more the adults, wee boy can't catch yet or throw).

I was too tired to do big things today so I did some sewing- fighting with the sewing machine my grandmother has given me. I suspect it's because the latch is gone on the wheel on the side so that it lets go ever so often and the needle stops flying up and down and the machine whines in exasperation as it can't fly through material anymore. I'v enearly finished my top, I just need to sew down the seam finishes and put the sleeves on and the zip on.

Then I made scones... then lunch.. then my old piano teacher came round and we had tea and a long chat which was nice. Then I repaired my jeans..
Then I helped repaint the room my brother's evacuated.

Then I cleaned the bathroom..
Now, I'm exhausted.

Tomorrow: take passport photos. Pick up visas, pick up tickets and then back to nnav's for a day of fun! Minus baby cousin though.. although his made up game of throwing gravel from one end of the garden into the pond gets a bit trying.
