The last couple of days have been lovely and sunny down here in Devon.  Tuesday, after dropping L at school I met another Mum G, and we walked up to our park for a coffee and a catch up.  Her Daughter C has been friends  with K since pre-school and they go to the same school.  Her Daughter J is in the same class as L although she is a year 6 and L is a year 5.  Being a village school there are two year groups per class.  We had a good old chat about our families and a lovely coffee all sat in the sunshine.

When I got home I had the mad idea, whilst cleaning the kitchen, to also empty, clean and sort all the cupboards so that took the rest of the morning.

K decorated her cakes in her guides meeting - the theme being spring.

Wednesday I did a pile of ironing and sorted our clothes for a funeral that Hubby and I are going to..  It will be a four hour round trip so a tiring as well as emotional day for us.  P was the Mother of one of Hubby's best friends who died in a car crash when he was just 21 years old.  Hubby and a couple other of his friends have stayed in touch with P and F all these years and they have both been very good to us and our girls.  She was a lovely woman who will be very much missed.

In the afternoon we had our new vinyl laid in our en suite bathroom.  The door just needs a couple of coats of paint and then the room will be finished.  It is looking much better.  Next Hubby will be decorating our bedroom which is pretty grim.  When we bought this house it had been rented out for twenty years and not a penny spent on it in all that time so it's been a project.  We are about two thirds done at the moment.

This was dinner tonight, pasta with peppers, garlic, mushrooms and asparagus. By chance I had cream and mushrooms that needed using up and I had picked us some reduced asparagus in Aldi on Monday night, so it was meant to be. It was delicious and definately one to have again.
