Mmmm.... asparagus is in season again. I love asparagus, love its pretty green spears, love the way the colour intensifies when it's cooked juuuuust right. Absolutely delicious.

<whinge> Was hot yesterday and muggy today... Don't like hot and muggy... But, we had a cracking thunderstorm last night, wonderful thunder and lightning, I'm surprised the cubs didn't wake up.

I did a word count for 'Dancing' and was pleasantly surprised to find it's coming up to 38,000! There's another 10,000 words have snuck in there without me noticing. : )

Watched one of the foodporn programs last night (cooking shows) and thought how nice it'd be to have a partner who can cook, and who enjoys cooking... and if they're good with footmassages too that'd be points in their favour...

We got the cubs' booklist for next year. Ouch!
The school will be getting a proper sports teacher next year as well, and the cost for that (not much, admittedly, but when you have 2 children...) was included. The sports teacher will be taking the classes for only an hour or so each a week but this is on top of the normal PE activities. I think it's a great idea (even though I understand how much the cubs detest sport - I mean, I did too) and any opportunity for them to get structured exercise is a good one.

We got the next 2 issues of Horrible Histories in the post today. I told the cubs and they weren't that impressed. Tch, didn't take long for that interest to die down in the face of the obsessive train onslaught.
Eh, 's ok, I like the magazine, I'll keep collecting it, and knowing the cubs their interest will swing sporadically back that way soon enough.
With this month's issues we got our 'free gift for subscribing' which was a set of Egyptian hieroglyph stamps. Very cool, the cubs not surprisingly, used them to spell out the names of their favourite engines...

Picked up the first of my new tidja midja nidga's today from lay-by. I do like Donatello but I'm aiming to get a Leonardo next. : )
