Spring forward...

So, the clocks went forward today and we lost an hour which has made me irritable all day. Time flies past quickly enough as it is without losing a hour!

I set myself the task of cleaning today and we moved the dining room table back into the conservatory! What a relief as we have so much more room now and it was lovely to sit out there this evening and do a bit of sky-gazing.

This afternoon we went in search of inspiration for Sophie's room. I think she is still a bit confused. We picked out a lovely quilt cover which was large black roses against a cream background. This will fit her theme of New York/Audrey Hepburn/Breakfast at Tiffany's etc...However, when we looked at wallpaper for her "accent" wall, we came unstuck. I suggested a beautiful flock wallpaper of black flowers against cream, but she hated it and went for a wild proliferation of bright flowers!  There was no way it was going to match and I invented a new word - hideosity!!

The best thing to do is to let her sleep on things and then look at different magazines to see if she can get some inspiration, but I do suspect the new quilt cover will be returned.

Our afternoon was rounded off at the Beckworth Rip-off Emporium...Despite me asking Sophie not to order one of their sandwiches, she whinged on until she got one. I asked for just a plain cheese sandwich, no wedges, salad or coleslaw. The result? They still charged me £5.25 for two slices of bread and some cheese! As we were one of the few tables left I didn't want to cause a scene with our very young waitress so I will be writing to the manager and expressing my disgust!!
