- The glorious day today, which absolutely confirmed that winter is behind us now. Hooray.
- A lovely reminder in the post from Rebecca to make the most of life (and a nudge to give free motion embroidery another go).
- Lunch this week with Monica and Kristina - it was just a sandwich, but sharing it with friends made it special.
- And subliminally, that lunch lead to the urge to make flatbreads for dinner tonight - very good they were, too. Thank you Jamie Oliver.
- Photographs from the dress rehearsal of the school production of Great Expectations (Mark is Wemmick). The children look incredibly unlike themselves and totally in character - looking forward to seeing it on Friday night.
- Reading Nancy's post and recognising the perfect vehicle for the miscellany inhabiting my brain this evening - a list of pleasing things indeed.

A list of pleasing things is perfect blog fodder is it not? Very impressed with Mark's school for putting on GE. I started reading it after Christmas and have let it gather dust under my bed -can't even remember who Wemmick is.

A delightful list of pleasing things!

Definitely more than just a sandwich when shared with friends. Wish we could see each other more often :) K x

That's a very good list and I loved seeing the beautiful photograph you took if the fob.

Love the machine embroidery! I'd love to have a go on that. Can you do it on any sewing machine?

Ahhh, such lovely things -- especially that darling bobble from Rebecca! Thanks for the link to a new-to-me Philosophy of Lists -- a very fun read!

Lunches with friends are always happy things. I missed a lunch date with a chum today, I had to cancel on her which always makes me feel bad.

I've had a very nice day out shopping with a friend today which has got me in the perfect mood for my trip to London tomorrow with the same friend and others and my big sister! I'm really looking forward to it and it looks like the weather is going to stay nice too :o)

I have to think of pleasing things. I have to think of pleasing things.

what a very pleasing list indeed. I expect you're enjoying Marks play at this very moment - hope it all goes well and he enjoys the experience x

Wemmick was my favourite character in GE when we read it (interminably) at school. Pip needed a good slap (or so my 16 year old self thought), Estella was just like the most horrible girls in the school and the rest were clearly mad.
Lucky you, lunch and chat. Can't beat it.

I love lists like this - creative thinking lists that spark the imagination rather than the lists of thngs to do that I seem to start every day with! Your list beautifully holds together the varied things in your day which I really like too. Looking forward to seeing you tomorrow. Elizabeth x

All very good things indeed! I do like a good list.
The flatbread looks delicious - I've tried Nigella's recipe, which is great, but not come across Jamie's. It looks like it has the perfect texture. I really like your free-embroidered linen too, very pretty.

Those flatbreads look amazing (lovely post altogether). I googled Jamie Oliver recipes but there are a few. Could you please tell me which one you used?

What a great character Wemmick is--three cheers for Mark (or at least tip him a nod)!
Posted by: Rebecca | 30 March 2012 at 22:07
This post made me smile, instantly uplifting and cheery...the flatbreads look delicious too by the way!

I wonder if you still feel that winter's behind you? It's right in front of us here, chucking down bits of hail...
