hollowed through

daffodils everywhere today
I talked about myself a whole lot more at the party than I would normally do. That's maybe not a terrible thing. I still listened some. I hope people don't think I'm self obsessed, through in truth, I am at the moment, as you can see from the egocentric moanings that currently fill my blog.
Later today I will try and do the other thing of the "would like to" do list. Maybe it could be a longer list. Maybe it could contain more outrageously fun things than the two frankly mundane items on there (basically, having a bath - successfully completed yesterday, tho kept on the list cos I could always repeat it - and watching a tv programme). It's hardly the stuff of dreams, or pinnacle of aspirations, is it? Perhaps I'll distribute daffodils to people in the park again - I enjoyed it when I did that last time.

So if you could put something lovely on your to do list for the day what will it be? Do let me know - it might inspire me!!

Numbers: 120 daffodils at the ridiculously low cost of £2.60. Divided into 24 bunches of 5 or 6. Distributed in 50 minutes - several refusals - it got better when I started saying "I'm giving away daffodils" instead of "would you like some daffodils". Air temperature around my ears -17C

  1. Funny you ask, Reuben had written a to do list for him and Miriam today (it's a holiday):
    1 make dens
    2 paint picture
    3 sort k'nex
    4 make post signs
    5 read
    6 play chess
    7 go to Mums and Tots
    8 role play (oh, I just established that it's roll play - rolling playdough into a sausage)

  2. Thankyou!! Such a brilliant list - I hope you all enjoy it! I might use some of those ideas to extend my list. Especially the roll play :D

  3. They did 1, 4, 5 and 7, plus go over the Golden Horn, under, then across the Bosphours and go to a birthday party (at which all the other kids spoke Turkish apart from a couple of Italians). Spontaneity was best.

  4. I did 5 and then cos you've reminded me I just got out the playdough and am now making a dragon as that's what my book is about. Yes, spontaneity is good. Glad you packed so much fun into today! xx
