The weather ... still very, very Novemberish. Grey and damp, occasional sun peaking through, not particularly cold.
I am wearing ... black and white pyjamas
I am reading .... The English Poor Laws 1700-1930 by Anthony Brundage. The Secret Life of Bletchley Park is temporarily on hold.
I am creating ... Angel's snood. A quick knit but the first attempt came out shorter than she wanted so I am knitting a longer version. Still have boot socks for my brother and my multi-coloured cardigan on the go.
I am listening ... Tevye explaining his idea for our Christmas newsletter this year. We always try spice it up a little with an original theme.
I am watching ... Garrows Law and Junior Apprentice. And the X Factor in a half-hearted sort of way.
I am enjoying ... seeing Angel settle into her job. She is enjoying it and her manager is impressed with the speed she has picked it up. I always knew that girl would thrive in a working environment, and it is nice to have that confirmed.
I am planning ... a shopping expedition for new jeans and trousers. I have been eating healthily and every pair I own has got too loose. It seems I must have lost some weight! As I don't possess any scales I have no idea how much.
Learning notes ... I am busy learning about the 19th century poor laws and workhouses as part of my course. Interesting stuff.
Cherub ... is leaning over my shoulder reading this blog! Slowly, and a bit hit and miss, but definitely reading. I'm sure she couldn't have done that even a week ago!
On the menu ...
Monday: chicken and spinach casserole, potato rosti, broccoli
Tuesday: fishcakes, chips and peas
Wednesday: chicken in BBQ sauce with rice and green veg (has been on the list for a couple of weeks but not happened for some reason)
Thursday: spaghetti bolognese (Star is cooking this at school)
Friday: haddock, potato croquettes, veg
Saturday: leek and potato soup (also didn't happen last week
Sunday: roast beef
On the calendar ...
Thursday: consultation with Star's school tutor
Sunday: dance school choreography competition and display. At the last minute Star has decided to take part.

It's been pretty mild here for November, but very grey and damp.
Well done for eating healthily, it's better to measure with inches rather than pounds too.
It's gonna be 28C tomorrow in Georgia... Same as it was today. Glad, I bought some shorts and am planning on drinking lots!
Yeah for Angel settling in so well and for Cherub reading. Looking forward to reading the newsletter it is always fun.
