Woke up at 5.00am this morning. Kissed hubby and crept out of bed. It's now 8.20am, and I'm still the only one up. It looks set to be a scorching day again today, the sun is streaming through my dressing room window, I'm gazing out over the fields listening to the birds tweeting, knowing that shortly, the kids will be up and the peace will be shattered.

It's been a hectic week this week, and it's going to be a hectic weekend too!! Nick's been backk home really late from work each day, which sucks a bit. We don't get enough time together. But I suppose that it's his job that keeps me in the life I've become accustomed to, so I'm forever grateful!! Looking forward to my godson's birthday tomorrow though. Oh, and the England v. Germany match!!!! :)

Had fantastic news yesterday that my beloved kiln may be sorted very soon. (Had an overfire a few months back, which caused a lot of damage.) I haven't fired it since about February(?) and it's been torture. My stock is at an all time low, which is good in a way, because I didn't realise how well they would sell, but can't wait to start to build it up again so I can approach other suppliers. Just keeping everything crossed that it's ok.
