I woke up this morning feeling tired and achey, so took the chance to go for a walk before church (unusually, we were both off duty!). Much of yesterday, and last week, was spent sitting down so I'm in need of some fresh air and exercise. I walked about 2 miles...
- the snow flakes were just starting to appear when I set off and were getting stronger as I returned
- I saw 2 dogs, a blackbird, 2 wood pigeons and lots of cyclists
- it was cold!
My eyes were watering all the way around, but by the time we'd driven to church I felt nicely relaxed as if they'd been washed clean.
We had lunch (roast beef dinner followed by gingerbread cake and ice cream) with A's parents. I cast on for a BSJ and we helped A's mum to start learning how to write letters on her netbook.
Home to some ironing, more knitting and the last portion of Monday's bargain lentil soup. Hopefully I'll be disciplined enough for an early night too...

A good evening
1. My nagging headache didn't develop into a migraine, so by the time I got home I was feeling comfortable again.
2. A quick and tasty meal: one pack of supermarket-prepared soup veg, tin tomatoes, red split lentils, a stock cube, tomato puree and some salt, pepper and (this time) soy sauce. Bring to the boil, then simmer for a while until we have a warming winter soup. And there are quite a few portions left for tomorrow and the freezer.
3. A relaxing evening at home, and I managed to catch up with Mum briefly without her phone battery (or mine!) dying as threatened.

Baptism, catching up and lots of garter stitch
1. It was my nearly-5-year-old godson's baptism today: a happy day. He didn't like getting water on his face but didn't complain. I was very proud of him.
2. We took a walk around the harbour in the afternoon. I appreciated the fresh air, and the chance to discuss a couple of worries. The relaxing was topped off by catching up on an episode of The Great British Bake Off: a feel-good treat.
3. I started my latest knitting project, which I've made myself wait for until the previous project was finished (last night). I've made a lot of progress today (all of the back and part of the front) and I can't say I'm too sorry to have completed the many rows of straight garter stitch. The more interesting bit starts tomorrow (removing the waste yarn to pick up the sleeves!)
