Photo an hour - 18th July

Saturday 18th July was this month's #photoanhour.  A day of pottering about, getting various bits and pieces done, featuring quite a bit of crochet.

9.00:

A cup of tea in bed, listening to my favourite podcast.

10.00:

Still in bed, although just about to get up.  I'm crocheting squares for a blanket, and whilst I do love these squares, changing colour every round does produce a lot of ends to sew in!

11.00:

Breakfast or elevenses.  Tea in my favourite mug and toast and jam.

12.00:

This beautiful quilt was made by my grandmother decades ago - I've finally washed and aired it, and can't wait to use it.  Beautiful things like this mustn't be hidden in a box!

1.00:

Another square for the sky blanket.

2.00:

Ben's bought quite a lot of plants for the balcony recently.  We need to be patient, the fruit trees won't produce fruit for 'at least' two years according to the label...we just have to try and keep them alive for that long!

3.00:

I received this postcard this week as part of the Sunny Sweet Pea postcard swap 2015.  Lovely!

4.00:

Ben's had a bit of clear-out recently, so that's motivated me to get rid of some stuff too.  Which judging by the date on the bag I've been meaning to do for the past ten months...

6.00:

I missed five o'clock, but here's a cup of tea just for me.

7.00:

Butternut squash, red pepper and coconut milk curry.  I can only cook a few vegan dishes and this is my favourite!

8.30:

There aren't many Maltesers left.

9.30 :

Sewing up some of the squares from earlier.  Each one is being edged in a final round of cream so I can join them as I go.

11.30:

In bed with a book.  I'd changed the bed sheets earlier so I had the double joy of clean bed linen and a new book.  Not sure it gets much better than that!

As ever, thanks to Jane and Louisa for organising.  Here's to more cups of tea at four o'clock and a book at bedtime!
