And another birthday

Out for lunch today with Daughter, Husband, Elder Son, and Daughter-in-law to celebrate Daughter's birthday. We'd planned to go to Gin and Juice only to find it doesn't open on Mondays so we ended up in Bistrot Pierre, which was fine.

Daughter is vegetarian but Husband likes his meat so trying to find somewhere suitable, that has more than one veggie option, easy parking, and is open on a Monday, is quite a task. I had a very nice brie and caramelised onion tart with a yummy pear and lettuce salad.

Lunchtime enjoyment added to by getting a Seasalt dress from the charity shop for £15 - normally would be around £60 at least.

The rest of the day I've been prepping to lead bible study tomorrow night, in between firing off emails to people listing my brilliant ideas. I say brilliant; I think they're good. Whether anyone else will remains to be seen.

It's fascinating where prepping for a study takes me. I've been down the child sacrifice route this weekend, as well as trying to get clear in my head the difference between penal substitution and its alternative, which doesn't seem to have a name.

Yesterday was National Snowdrop Day so here are some from our garden.

Sounds like a great meal in a nice restaurant!

Snow drops! Envy here. I have very little luck despite planting hundreds. Maybe one blossom. Which in any case would be under a foot of snow right now, if it's flowering in there.

Your snowdrop photo is a visible sign that spring is coming.
