Well, didn't sleep well last night. In fact I am going through a not sleeping too well period. Had a dream about Mum and Dad, we had gone to a wine exhibition of all things, and I was looking at a very intricately pattened bottle when they walked off and left me. This continued, so in the end I sat down and had a meal on my own. I spotted them by the lifts so hurried over, only for them to turn away and get into the lift from a different side of the room. This made me really mad and I rushed in before the doors closed and started shouting and swearing at them, demanding to know why they were avoiding me. They denied they were, but said it was time I was on my own. I was so sad when I woke up and remembered, and it brought tears to my eyes. Maybe they were trying to tell me that I have to let them go and not talk to them all the time and wish they were still here. I don't know, but I do feel there was a message there.
Park news. I took Specks there yesterday and remembered the bread! I stopped at a sheltered bit where there are a lot of trees to feed the moorhen and saw an enormous carp. I have never seen a carp in the pond before, though thinking about it now I recall circles and ripples in the pond. I am not joking about the size, it must have been 2 ft long at least. It swam under the moorhen and nearly gave it a heart attack. Poor thing took off onto a low branch squawking away. That was the first thing to happen. The next really made my day. I rounded the corner to the top end of the pond where all the ducks were sat sunning themselves. Notquite sure why I said sunning because it was blowing a hooligan and raining! Anyway, the duckies saw me coming and assumed I had food and all came hurtling over the grass demanding breakfast. It was brilliant, and I know it might sound sad, but this sort of thing gives me loads of pleasure. Just wish I had taken more food. I usually take corn but gave my last lot to a little boy and his Dad when I realised I was hogging the duck feeding, and his bread was being ignored. I also saw another woodpecker! Not in the park this time, but by the school. Couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it, just hopping around on the path. It was ok for a few seconds, but then flew away as Specks came into sight. Amazing. I feel I have had a good year so far with spotting birds I haven't seen before. Saw the kestrel a few weeks ago too, and I haven't seen that since the beginning of the year. Again, that was the first time I have seen one in this area, although I am sure they must be around somewhere. We have a few buzzards each year, but not seen the smaller hawks.
I am in the process of knitting a polar bear. Tried using my fluffy wool to make christmas angel mice but it didn't work so need to adapt the pattern a bit. Will do some more though. Got some suitable wool to knit another dachshund, and also some guinea pigs.
Prom dress fitting went fine. Daughter looks beautiful, I hope she stays so slim throughout her life, unlike her mother! Shoes still prove to be a problem, but we are getting nearer to a solution. Have to, the prom is in 3 weeks, and the hem of the dress will need to be altered before then!
Okay, think that is it. Feeling fuzzy still, despite having a nap. Need to think up something for tea too. I am so not housewife material!
