The Love Challenge (1)

SO. Let's start as we mean to go on - the Love Challenge. I bought the badge already to make myself complete this - and each challenge isn't too difficult but gets me doing different things than I usually would.

"Make a rose from a medium of your choice" was the first part I went for. Now, I don't think this looks like a rose, maybe I need more work, but this is the work in progress of my rose which I quite like.

Except it doesn't really look like a rose. Teen says I should try curling the flowers a bit - I suspect we'll try and make more over half term to be honest. I'm happy with that.

Another challenge has been done, though this is over the month - Once a week treat yourself. Well, I'm good at that - I set myself a challenge not to buy anything unless I really need it - so my first weekly treat was to get myself three (pay postage only) Wild deodorants. They smell good, I don't react to them, and while some might find it a bit odd, it's a treat and something I'm using every day.

The Love Challenge (2)

Another clause that I've completed for The Love Challenge, but this one isn't going public until the goods have been delivered - but covers the clause "Make someone feel loved with a random act of kindness" - now, I guess this could be interpreted many ways, but I've chosen to make it a very simple one - I've bought some Lady Bakewell Park cookies for Shaun and he'll get them on valentine's day. Given we don't celebrate the day in question this is going to catch him off guard, he'll probably feel bad and I'll almost definitely insist we have pizza for tea to make up for it. But it is a random act of kindness and they're quite cute looking too. I just have to try not to eat them beforehand. I mean, LOOK! they're ace. I hope husband shares them....

While it might look like there's a gap, there isn't. Well, there is but I've been doing badge stuff - and sewing. Lots and lots of sewing. So let's go to Happy Valley. We were late to the party, big time. So late that we only started watching Series 3 in the last month, bingeing it every night we could to check that Catherine Cawood is okay. (we watched Series 1 & 2 at the start of the year) So we had a vaguely fresh look at it all - remembering plotlines and characters easier - this is something I always struggle with and thank authors who do those little character updates at the front of the book so forgetful people like me can cross-reference. When you forget stuff you can really forget it - it has taken until today for me to realise it's only Wednesday, not Thursday, for example - because I started my new blood sugar log book on the wrong date. So I need all the help I can get. Which brings me to Happy Valley. Having started the series at the start of the ...

Yep, I'm getting through these programmes fairly quickly I think. Although today's, which is 'Four in a Bed' is on fairly continually during the day and early evening - so this one isn't as challenging when talking about the programme. Though actually, what I've noticed instead is that the programme follows a fairly similar journey each week. Firstly, let's describe 'Four in a Bed' - there are four families, they all own a B&B style place and they're all being judged on how clean their B&B is. Each family visits each B&B and judges it, checks the room for dust and overall cleanliness and then at the end of their stay they grade everything out of ten. There are all sorts of categories - whether their hosts were welcoming, did they sleep well?, how clean it is and then the BIG question at the end, would they stay there again. Then when the anonymous grading has been done the hosts read through it all - and work out who has scored thei...
