The 1st and 2nd; How very adult of me.

The 1st of March. I'm almost ashamed to say I haven't actually opened either of my Easter eggs yet. I just haven't had the space/time. I only had the Lindt one to begin with (Alison brought a Dairy Milk one round later), but if I'd started it between breakfast and lunch, I wouldn't have any room in my stomach for the meal. Even now, at six o'clock, I'm still quite full from said lunch, so I really don't fancy stretching myself. How very adult of me.

This morning, I wrote up a blog post, then got back to my jumper sleeve. Lucky for me, lunch was late, so I got to the end of the seam in time for food.

We finished about four, and since then we have been watching the Nadiya series of Bake Off on Netflix which is so pure and lovely. I do miss Mel and Sue ever so much. I've sewn up the sides of the jumper, attached the sleeves, and done the edging of the neckline. Just the hem to do now, then we'll see where we are.

The 2nd of March.

I have eaten some chocolate!

Not this morning, because for some reason, after my coffee, my stomach decided to be super painful. Therefore, I spent the whole morning with one of those microwaveable heat packs on my belly, squishing it in with my knees. I tried to start the all-brown sausage dog, but it was too sore for me to even do that.

By lunchtime, it seemed to have abated enough for me to want to eat something, so I had a slice of toast and that seemed okay.

This afternoon, I had a hairwash, then I put on the new crochet jumper which I finished last night! It looks good, and thank god I made the sleeves longer because they would have been way too short.

However, the wool is quite itchy, so I think I'll have to wear a long-sleeved thermal underneath.

Back downstairs, Christine and I watched My Neighbour Totoro (which I had forgotten has some really weird bits) and I ate one of my Lindt bunnies. Hooray!
