Spring has Sprung, finally! Well, for this week anyway! What a difference a bit of sunshine makes to my mood & outlook, remarkable as I am one of those wierd people who likes Winter (!), but it’s been long enough now. Windows open, radio on, washing hanging out & not all draped over the radiators – a sure sign that longer, brighter days are on their way. Even housework doesn’t seem to be quite the drag it usually is, when the sun is out and fresh air is circulating through the place!
Wonders will never cease! Despite me not going to bed until midnight last night, I got a FULL, UNINTERRUPTED 6 hrs and 45 mins sleep – YAY! Get the flags out!! Archie had a busy, outdoors day yesterday, so was obviously too tired to wake up as usual! One of his friends, Caleb, from playgroup came round for the first time, it was lovely to see them playing alongside each other and bouncing on the trampoline together, and with only a couple of squabbles over watering cans, it was calm & enjoyable for all! Caleb’s mum & I even got to finish 3 cups of tea while they were still warm, as we swapped stories and experiences of our scary first few months in the world of Autistic Spectrum Disorders!

On a baking note, two of my lovely girl friends have birthdays this weekend and we are all gathering for cake & coffee this afternoon. Last night saw me rolling lots of sugarpaste to make them a little something sweet to celebrate!
2 small square chocoalte cakes. 1 in a black & white theme, with large Gerbera/Daisy decoration, the other shell pink & white with a blossom decoration.
