Speeding towards the weekend

I took many more photos of crocuses on my dog walk today, and as much as I love them I can't have too many images of them in my journal, so instead you get a zoom burst shot of the trees.

The bathroom renovations are finally coming together - six weeks down and about two more to go. I cannot wait to get stuck in and clean up all the dust in the adjoining bedrooms, and the boys will be pleased to get their bedrooms back again. I cannot complain as they have done a superb job and been very pleasant and considerate too - they even play with Murdoch in the garden when I am out for a long while!

We had a relaxing book club meeting last night - we chose The Henry Experiment by Sophie Radice as I had heard it being read on Radio 4 and it sounds very good. However there is a technical problem with the Kindle version and it is currently unavailable so we have switched to Elizabeth is Missing by Emma Healey which won the Costa First Novel award.
