I have had a lovely long weekend.  The weather was pretty good considering and we saw lots of people.  I also managed the following feats of domesticity:

• baked TWO separate batches of chocolate chip cookies
• made spicy parsnip soup
• started hand-quilting the baby quilt
• entertained four different sets of visitors
• made chicken stock from a roast chicken carcass left over from Saturday’s dinner
• knocked up some homemade houmous (effort vs taste did not tally, unfortunately)

No wonder I feel exhausted today.  Although that may have something to do with the day at Hatton Country World yesterday with my best friend’s family (including a five year old and two year old).
