Memorandum Monday

This is the second week that I have joined in with Sian's new Monday thoughts where we think about something new that we have done or learnt. Alongside that I am giving a big wave to Sian and all the other bloggers.

Thinking of something new takes some thought. Have I done anything new? Saturday was spent mainly cooking. Making batches of soup and updating my supply of marmalade with some Seville oranges I had in the freezer. It was when I was sorting out the jars on Sunday morning I remembered I had some lovely new labels that my niece had given me.

This led me on to think about the Winter Photography Scavenger Hunt where I need an entry for No. 20 My Own Handwriting. Handwriting is a very personal thing. I have never considered mine to be the best. I have been told it looks like a spider has crossed the page...... It is interesting that my sister and I have very different handwriting (hers is much neater!) I am not sure if that is dexterity or different schooling. Do you remember all that forming letters and handwriting practice?

So back to something new. On Sunday we have had a lovely family lunch cooked by my sister in law. She is a great cook and it was all equally delicious. Anything I hadn't had before? Yes a delicious chocolate torte.

Then it was time to make some new plans. A family brainstorming for a special 90th birthday later in the year drawing up a guest list and planning how we are going to celebrate it.
