So I've been learning how to play the ukulele...

I'm not saying I'm great, but I'm learning. For someone as awkward and clumsy as me, this is pretty fantastic. I'm getting there. Really Struggling with the E though. That, and I second guess myself pretty much all of the time. Lighting is pretty nonexistent...I couldn't be bothered to turn on the actual light!

Weekend Sunshine!

It was certainly a weekend for suncream. We went for a jolly jaunt along the River Great Ouse. Blue sky - green fields - glistening river. What more could you ask for?

A perfect start to a two week Easter holiday. Too bad I will be spending the first three or four days in work trying to catch up on all of the assessment marking!

"It''s got to be better than nothing"

Long distance is awful.

Rich bought me flowers on Friday and they started to bloom today. Something to remind me of him he says.

"It's got to be better than nothing."

I'd take the real thing any day.

Easter Holidays are right around the corner!

I've been feeling the end of term looming. Sheer exhaustion. I've lost the will to mark -- although I'm not sure that will was ever really there anyways. It was more a necessary evil. But what's worse - I've lost the will to bake!

In truth - you always become ill when it comes time to unwind. I'm battling something - whatever it is, it has left me tired, full of coughs and achy.

Through the aches and pains I decided to make soft pretzels. I then proceeded to eat them. Like- all of them. I thought it was well worth it.

I'm hoping once I survive the next four days (as I'm only in work for 9 days in the month of April) - I can turn my attention to baking. I need to invest in a proper mixer...I would love a KitchenAid - but I am aware of the hefty price tag. I need something - that's for sure!
