Thrilled

I came back from my first volunteering at the local school, fine except that I said 'pussycat', and these little children think that pussy is only U.S.A. 'pussy' and couldn't contain themselves. I settled them down with my gimlet eye, still in working order, and after that my only problem was that they were really tired - one actually fell asleep.

Quiet house as Stefan is off writing a commission for another magazine, so I sat in tranquility and cut out my new cupboard door and hung it, then odd fixings and trimmings.

Next challenge is what to use to clad the side of the fridge wall now? I would like to be creative but not theme park.
