My arms hurts, my legs hurt, my back hurts, it all hurts everywhere. Thank you stupid New Years resolution to get fit with the aim of running the Great North Run in September. I know it will get better as I get fitter (I vaguely remember a time in my life where I could run without feeling like I was going to die) but damn it sucks right now.

I went with a simple but really effective square. Its another one I think I would like to make a whole blanket from. The pattern is a free Ravelry download Sara Palacios – Diamond Square.

The littlest monster wanted to bake so he decided I could stand next to him in the kitchen while he made cheesy feet and gold fish crackers. This is why I love my thermomix. It makes the whole baking with a five year old so much less stressful!!

They tasted great, we used the cheesy crackers recipe from Thermobliss. When I opened the cupboard we didn’t have any paprika so I subbed it for some red pepper flakes. Big hit with both the kids and the daddy when he got back from work. Little monster hide the tub so that he could take some to school.
