Happy Easter!

This morning, when finishing off the Easter egg treats, I found that the tricky bits weren't entirely over.  I discovered that, because of the amount of glue involved, the balloons are stuck quite securely to the thread, so the trick is to release the thread from the balloon before popping the balloon, as otherwise the thread gets pulled inwards with the popped balloon.  Even so, I think the results are pretty effective!  If we were to do this again, I don't think I would use home-made chocolates, as I think we would be able to find some smaller foil wrapped eggs, which would fit more easily into the water balloons.

In other news, we have watched Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Part 1, and are planning on watching Part 2 tomorrow.  M went outside with A and separated the numerous sunflower seedlings from Asfordby into new pots, this wasn't necessary for K, as she had only planted a couple of seeds and only one those germinated, rather than the 9 or so of M's.

This evening M had a play with the Bananagrams tiles and I was impressed and quite surprised at some of the words she had made, including toilets, teenager, beetroot and more, there were only a couple of words where I wasn't entirely sure what she was trying to spell - jas (I thought she meant jars, but more logically, given that it was linked with has, she had meant jazz) and the exceeding unphonetic nephew, for which she'd made the creditable attempt of nefue.  While she was doing this, K counted the coppers in our whisky bottle (a 4.5 litre one from days doing bar work during uni holidays).

There's £15.83 in there apparently!
