That's entertainment

So here's a quiz question for you: what do you do if it's cold and wet and miserable outside?
Answer: if you're me, you do this:
If you're a small boy, you hunker down on the sofa in front of a film and do this:
And if you're a suitably-sized girl, you watch all the lovely warm clothes being unloaded from the tumble drier into the washing basket, and then you do this:
Ingenious! x
PS - I nearly forgot to say - I've just bought a bike!  Eeeek.  I like to think I'm being healthy and more green, and I have visions of me wafting dreamily down the road to my allotment and filling my wicker basket with homegrown goodness for my family; the cynical amongst you (and those that actually know me) might think it's so that I can escape to my plot on a summer's evening and drink wine sitting in the sun next to my shed, but that thought would never enter my head, honest...

  1. Have you got one of those small-town local rags with you....I can just see your face emblazoned on the front with you weaving along the roads on your way back from the allotment a little worse for wear....or better still on one of those dodgy police programs my kids like to watch, where they've caught you on camera....I don't think you get £250 for appearing on police camera action!

    Hasn't the weather been rubbish? I can see why everyone chose their respective activities. Have a good week.x

  2. That looks like a perfect way to spend a wet Sunday. We hid in soft play centres and book shops, but I did get some sneaky sewing in during nap time...

    I love the idea of a vintage bike but know the reality would be very different! xx

  3. I think a wet day is the best because it gives you the excuse to sit inside and crochet, or read, or watch a movie. Perfect if you ask me! Good luck with the bike, and the wine of course.

  5. Hehehe Emily....whatever the reason for getting the bike, well done, I'm sure you'll enjoy using it once you get some nice, sunny weather.....

    I love little stacks of crochet goodness, hope the sky is looking that blue very soon....

    Have a great week,

  6. I bought a bike about three years ago. I have not yet ridden it on the roads around us as I'm too scared - the cars just go way too fast round here! Hope you enjoy those glasses of wine at the allotment - sounds bliss. xx

  10. I posted a picture of a knitted basket on a bike on my FB page a couple of days ago (are we FB pals?)
    Looking forward to seeing you - fingers crossed for sunshine! (or even just dry?)
