Day 28 of 28.

Day 28 of Three Things February. Monday 28th February.

Oooh its the final day of Three Things February. Well done to everyone who took part for the whole month, whether it be through blog, twitter or blog comments. Remember it was SarahRooftops who came up with the initial idea. I await to see what her next blog plan will be. My final day of February has been spent indoors. I haven't left the house once.

01. Bunting.
The Hello Kitty bunting I've been making today. I ran out of fabric before the last flag so might be a while before it is finished.

02. Remote Control.
Makes life so much easier. Pathetic I know.

03. Twitter.
Have spent quite a while on Twitter today. Just 5 more minutes turns into an hour each time.

Goodbye Three Things February. See you in 2012.

Day 27. Last But One.

Day 27 of Three Things February. Sunday 27th February.

01. The Pentlands. Even though I've lived in Edinburgh for 10 years, today was the first time I went walking in the Pentland hills. Should have done it a long time ago but will definitely be there a lot more regularly now. Absolutely gorgeous and right on our doorstep.

02. Chocolate Chip Cookies. Oops, bought a packet to last the week. They lasted about 2 hours.

03. My Woolly Hat. I love my hat. It stopped me from getting earache and brainfreeze today. It's superwarm, bright blue and just fab. Lothian Buses held it to ransom for £2 once. I love my hat.

Let's Dance for Comic Relief actually made me cry with laughter tonight.

01. Surprises. I got home today to find the fabulous Things on Toast book. The lovely @SarahRooftops had seen it and thought of us. Must be something to do with my love of weird things on toast.

02. Ketchup.
Think I've been eating a bit too much ketchup recently. Tasty on my cheese and onion pasty though.

03. Tuc Tucs.
Enough said.

02. Visitors. Some friends came to visit with their 6 children. Had a fun day of hide and seek, giant straws and eating cookies. The weather was even so good we had lunch in the garden.

03. Salmon. I didn't think I liked salmon, but had it for dinner tonight and it was absolutely gorgeous. Along with potatoes from the Farmers Market at the weekend. Much better than the chippy.

Ok, I missed a day yesterday. I blame SarahRooftops though, as she made me lose time, and as she is the creator of Three Things February I get away with missing a day. You're welcome.

Garlic cloves, garlic bread.
