Surrounded by art

6.1twenty-two
Spring bank holiday! Prep for BIRTHDAY BRAAI and house-leaving party. Packing is in full swing. Lucky to have CI work from home.

Making my garden the prettiest it can be for our last party. Clearing out that big garden box - I should have done it years ago! Rediscover the easel I thought I'd lost. Small side-project for Jim's dad's leaving present. Both the Harringtons leaving for Ireland.

Going to see the NXG place again, after paying a holding deposit. Huge about-turn!

Score a great little burgundy top and two boxer shorts from Bjorn Borg sample sale. Mel buys a huge rack of ribs for the braai, and a beautiful box of mini artisan eclairs from Maitre Choux. Finn's Adventurers party invite! Planning out Mel's Mandela painting, and drawing Ams' superhero painting to a close. Rediscover my drawing of my grandfather. So much arting!

Mel's amazing chocolate pear experiment (that will follow us into the new house). Nes is on a house hunt! Finding lots of memories in the packing process.

BIRTHDAY BRAAI IS AWESOME. Playing Sharades, so many friends in and out all day. Great food, great fun. Su chatting to Ben and Cam.

Going to see the new Jungle Book at Canada Water.
