Weekend Part 1

First, thank you for all the comments about my scavenger hunt and give-a-way. If you have not yet entered please leave a comment on this post here.

Friday
and the weekend starts as I leave school at 5pm. Dash to the supermarket before arriving home to the evening meal cooking away in the slow cooker. We eat and rush out to Hebden Bridge to watch Mission Impossible; Ghost Protocol at the cinema. 

Saturday
9am
Up and out for a hair appointment at 9am
They say snow is on its way.....
10am
back home...still waiting for the snow.
10.30am
Start to knit a scarf, using a ball of Can Can yarn a friend bought for me last week. I used this video to help get me started.

Still no snow.

11am
Lucy decides the best place to be is as close to the fire as possible.
12 noon
I go up to the greenhouse to check on my plants and collect a bowl of bulbs for the house. When I come out of the greenhouse....it has started to snow!

12.30pm
Curl up in the sitting room with a few favourite magazines, the snow is heavy now but tiny flakes....I think that means it's cold?!

1pm
Still snowing and the light in the sitting room makes it harder to read so I go back to my knitting in the lounge.
1.20pm
We have some lunch and then I take more food out for the birds, make sure they have fresh water and the fat ball feeder is full.

2.30pm
Settle in the lounge with laptop and knitting while Hubby watches the opening game in the Six Nations on TV (with Lucy on his knee)
3.30pm
The snow is starting to stick. I don't think it is going to be quite the winter wonderland I had imagined though.

4.15pm
The snow is still falling. I can hear the children a few doors down having fun in the snow trying to slide down their drive in their sledge.

4.35pm
Have a coffee and a chocolate biscuit. Still snowing.

6pm
It is dark now outside. England are doing well in the match against Scotland and Hubby is voicing his instructions to the team. Lucy curled up on the sofa next to me. I have spent the afternoon between the computer and knitting. Still snowing.
6.45pm
better think about something to eat.
7.35pm
There has just been a report on the news about the snow and they were filming in Saddleworth.  We put on the outside light to see how deep it was through the patio doors.

Then I pop out to the front to see the road. It's still snowing.

9.35pm
It has stopped snowing. I hope it is still there tomorrow so we can go for a walk...we'll see.....
