This past week has been an ouch week

I have been getting a lot of pain with my knee the past couple of weeks, to the point where the house has really started to suffer. I am attempting to tidy up today as things seem to be easing off a bit. My development stuff has suffered as a result of my knee. However I have drafted up a timetable for me to work around each day so I stop wasting time 

I did managed to gate crash an RSPB meeting last night which was really just someone trying to persuade you to go on their holiday with their company. Still I found out some interesting stuff about the birds of Ecuador lol. 

So far this year I have read 9 books which is good going for me :) None of it is particularly deep stuff but I keep getting sucked back into the library and end up getting out more books!

My happy days are going well. So far I have had flowers from the fiance, teaching my mum how to cross stitch and egg yolks forming a flower in the bottom of a mug. 

I have also learnt how to crochet around a corner:

Today is Valentines day and I am cooking a lovely dinner for the BF and I :) He is making a fondue starter and then I am doing a vegetable bake type thing for the main and my mum and I spent two hours making a marbled chocolate cheese cake. The cheese cake seems very wobbly so I am hoping that as it cools in the fridge it will solidify. It is the most adventurous desert I have ever undertaken, I had to whip egg whites and I was so chuffed as I could turn the bowl upside down like they do on the TV and it didn't all fall out!

These are the flowers I got for valentines day, though I got them yesterday as the BF wasn't passing a shop today. They are in a pitcher as I had decided to get flowers to go on the table for the meal earlier in the day... great minds lol
