I seem to have acquired a small and very bright, floral fabric stash - soon to be skirts for Miss M. And maybe a cushion cover. And I've even got matching threads. Dear me, that seems suspiciously like being organised.
Out in the garden, into which the sun shone again today, things are also bright and floral. These tulips are a bit garish really (red and white stripey) but they do brighten things up.
We're all settling back into routine again after the kids' school holiday (two blissful weeks of not rushing in the morning!) but it doesn't take long to get back to normal. This term has several interruptions - public holidays, in-service days, sports day and so on - so it tends to fly by. The kids are having their school photos taken tomorrow so my little scruffbags are having to wear actual shirts and ties rather than their usual casual polo shirts. They are not happy about this and to be fair, last year's pictures were a bit pants so I'm not sure why I'm bothering. Mindless optimism probably. Maybe this is the year they'll look like themselves and not like newly-promoted Chief Inspectors or Conservative party candidates. They only get class photos in Primary One and Primary Seven so they're just individual or sibling photos this year. Maybe I should get them to pull silly faces. They'd look more like themselves if they did. Oh, the temptation!

I like garish. And bright. (I'll never be one of those elegant white-and-beige decorators.)
Enjoy the sun while you can! Also the organization. Neither lasts forever. :)
It's been pouring most of day - ah, back to normal!
