nice bits of today

• Bodhi slept late, so when I got downstairs it was twenty past NINE!
• The birthday blog tour made its recipient happy and full of love for his birthday, which is an excellent outcome. I love it when a plan comes together.
• I made crepes, and they worked out well. Danielle told me I just needed a hot pan, no oil, which I didn't know and am delighted to discover works. I made leek and spinach and cheese ones and they were delicious. I always think, I should do this more often, when I make them. They're so tasty and fun to make too. Crepe it up, people. That's my advice.
• My brother and his girlfriend came over for lunch, which was lovely, as they hadn't been here in ages, and the kids love them. Rowan sent me a text telling me his gf had had a hissy fit and said that he could go by himself on the bus, she was off to buy shoes. But he called me and said he was coming before the text arrived. I don't know what was going on there, but it seems they sorted it. Heh.
• I bought some wine for the veg, and we drank the rest. Didn't notice it was 13.5% - I was going to go for a walk thisevening, but I had to go fall asleep for a bit first. Full of carbs and alcohol!
• I had a really nice walk up Bray Head - saw a hawk hovering like wingéd death over the craggy rocks and fields and was glad I was not a small rodent. It was pretty to watch, though, and then it glided off into the late evening sun - shining on the mountains and the haze sitting on the hills and turning it golden. Very Lord of the Rings. It was so pretty. And there were horses in the field beside me. I must bring the camera up there next time.
