Little bird sends a little note.

Not much to report this evening after a pretty adverage day.
Popped out to the shops and bought some food shopping, the clothes shops were calling but alas eating does have to take priority sometimes.

I made some lovely biscuits earlier, rather yummy if I do say so myself. But I now have the problem of them being so morish I'm having to show some restraint and not devour them all.

Tomorow feels like it shall be a day of chilling on the sofa with either a good TV show or a book, curled up beside my lovely fiance.
Looking forward to it :)

Little Bird: Neckercheifs and new friends

Having been job hunting for a while now, being at home pretty much most of the week and filling a few odd hours of that week with popping into town can drive a person a little crazy after a while.
And so, wanting to engage my brain and hold off on the mushy inactivness a little more, I'm filling two days with volunteering  for a children's centre and being an assistant Beaver leader.
So far it seems to be working. Tospy Turvy is fun and I'm really enjoying being a beaver leader. 
I was invested a few weeks ago. It was a little embarrassing having to get up and make the promise in front of a church load of people. (It didnt help that I raised the wrong hand for the salute, good start huh?) But apart from that, it was cool, and I'm now badged up and armed with my neckerchief and toggle. Must say I look rather sharp in kaki.
Its been a good few months with the group. Lots of fun and I've met some lovely people too. And i have made another friend through it, which is great.
Thats a total of two female friends now, which is nice because I've never been one to have a big group of friends and go out in a crowd. The biggest group would have been in college and even then it was only five of us, including me.
And since moving here, the group of friends I have made is about four. Not counting my wonderful fiance and lovely sister-in-laws' to be, thier awesomeness goes without saying.  :)
So it seems four to five is a nice round number.
But like I say, small groups suit me really; having been a shy girl pretty much until I moved from home for work, (breaking out of my shell if you will). As long as long as the company is happy, kind, there for a laugh as well as support; Im happy.
And Im very lucky to say, the people I do know all have those qualities. Thanks Guys :)
