My Boston fern has arrived and I am very pleased with it. I think it looks nice in the corner of the dining room and quite realistic.

Have made 24 tissue cases for Secret World. I think the material with the foxes, hedgehogs and owls on is particularly appropriate. I just need to get another pack of 8 Kleenex tissues to complete them.

I was supposed to be getting a smart meter today but when the guy looked at the gas meter he said it was old lead piping and would all have to come out, including in the laundry room. It would be a big job and everything would have to be moved so I said forget it. I was not that bothered about having a smart meter anyway, I don't need a gadget to tell me how much electricity I'm using and I try to use things that take a lot like the washing machine and tumble dryer in the daytime when the solar panels are generating. It just means I will have to send in regular meter readings. 

I made a nice batch of fruit scones this evening for the weekend. They look a bit anaemic but I think that's because I used soya milk instead of cows milk. I'm sure they will still taste yummy with some homemade jam!
