A Day in The Life

A few other folks on twitter have been taking part in a group "A Day in the Life of..." blog posting. So this is my one, a typical wednesday. I have no idea how this started but it's always instigated by biscuiteer Nikki McWilliams.

7.50 Wake up, check emails in bed (terrible habit I know) and spend the next 30 minutes replying and checking twitter.

Have a cup of tea, cereal and run a bath and give my cat Biscuit her breakfast too.

Have Bath, dry hair and decide on appropriate attire for my driving lesson i.e. comfy shoes, no big wooly scarf (it's difficult to see wearing it) and a light jumper.

Finish reply to the morning emails. Visit the bank.

10.00 Driving lesson.

11.30 My driving lesson conveniently stops outside my friends house so pop in for a quick cup of tea.

I go home, feed the kitty and settle into the studio to start knitting up some orders.

12.30 Lunch- 1.30ish I tend to take wednesday's easier and have a long lunch to chill out as I always end up feeling a bit highly strung after my driving lesson. I have a bacon on toast, with a cup of tea, orange juice and a clementine. Yum.

13.30ish onwards- Back to knitting for the rest of the afternoon, finishing and ironing scarves. I entertain myself by listening to this song on you tube I have no idea what it's about but sounds so happy!

18.40 Write and print out invoices and letters, bung in envelopes, pack orders and get my post office pile for tomorrow ready. Tidy up studio a little.

19.10ish Dinner time. I had (how uninspiring, wait for it...) fish, chips and peas, but sometimes simple dinners are the best. Kitty has dinner too. After dinner my cat eats she always comes over and jumps up on my lap to say thank you. She's a sweet little thing.

19.35- Clean the kitchen and take part in other domestic joys.

20.15 ish- I feel compelled to bake cakes. I go to the shop to stock up on the essentials: eggs, bicarb of soda and some mint Green & Blacks chocolate incase the cakes don't work out.

20.30- I make raspberry jam buns. It's a really awesome recipe from the Primrose Bakery book and it worked out really well, which doesn't happen too often so while I'm on a roll I make another batch.

21.50 So I have about 18 buns. Try one and it's good, so safe to have another with a cup of tea and I settle down to watch and episode of Boardwalk Empire.

Watch a bit of tv, read tweets and Frankie Magazine and end up falling asleep on the sofa. I wake up at about 1.20am so I drag my carcass off the sofa and get ready to go to bed. I can hear my cat chirping away loudly with her toy rat so it's not until the back of 1 when I actually fall asleep zzz.
