Friday 13th - not unlucky for us - Japanese Friday!

Been quite caught up in keeping on top of the allotment of late (i.e trying not to let the weeds/grass take over, but not actually coming home with much...) so haven't had so much time to do fun stuff with Emma. As she is at her Dads house on Sundays that only leaves Saturday free for fun stuff, and a little of Friday afternoon before/after her swimming lesson.

We have decided to rectify the lack of fun things by starting a jar of fun things to do. When we get a spare minute we will pick one out and do whatever it says (hopefully all of Emma's are reasonable suggestions!)

This weeks choice was to have a Japanese evening - Emma got to wear her dress her Granddad brought back for her from Japan. She did her hair in a Japanese style & we made place mats for the table using charcoal. We then spent ages making sushi & noodle soup. I was amazed how Emma tucked in to hers - she'd eaten 3 before our dinner guest Steve H arrived.









Yum!


We enjoyed the fortune cookies we had for pudding, although I was gutted not to get the one which gave me good health, instead I got one saying I'd be a good boss - perhaps a change in career is in order!
