The month started with a sewing-club, then it was more tasks in the backyard, some knitting happened, we attended a birthday party, I took a walk by the music school, and attempted to clean the shower drain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

All in all a relatively low-key start to the month, which was a nice change to the usual madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A note from Emma reminding me to make sure her automatic light would go on in the morning, as the day before was a public holiday, and I’d turned them off. She now has the light-app on her own phone.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Oooops, found a a knitting error patch. It’s remarkable how long it takes to fix mistakes like these, and just how unnerving it is! But, it got done in the end.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Leaves beginning to appear outside, yay!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Unusually for May, it was t-shirt weather outside. Usually, it’s blue clear skies and FREEZING cold. The veggie-box top-frames kept people busy.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>
The fine weather made me want to buy summer flowers to put outside, but experience dictates that there were cold spells still to come that would probably kill them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Afternoon birthday party, yay!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

There were also some leaves visible in the west end of town!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Anna still seemed to have a slight height-edge, but a few months later Emma had grown to be taller than Anna!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Hiding the primed frame from potential rain. Weirdly, there was no wind, so any rain was quite vertical.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Taking a walk while Emma was at music school. The paths in the area were being rebuilt, with two new bridges!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

This weird pipe had also appeared, just spanning the river.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Cleaning the shower drain is a continual headache. I decided to try unscrewing the cover…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

Ugh, so much black sludge. Who designed this?! I removed the sludge, and then spent a while assembling everything again…<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n

I kept finding new things in Blue Prince, it is quite a nicely paced game.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
