Glorious day here yesterday, last blast of summer maybe. Got another couple of loads of washing out on the line – the third bin liner from old house contained some of my old maternity gear, so I’ve now got lots … Continue reading

Curriculum courtesy of the red cross.
Picked up several good books in the Red Cross yesterday and am planning to require a certain amount of purposeful or focussed activity each week as I still think that boredom is our largest problem here. I don’t want it … Continue reading

day with Em and back to Beavers.
Woke at 6.30, got up at 8.30 already feeling like it was nap time. Could have been a disastrous day accordingly, but fortunately found an email from Em inviting us over, so once Small had had time to come around … Continue reading

last day of August

Patchwork skirts and no outings.
Sunday we had intended to go to Bawdsey radar open day via the foot ferry. But instead, after the cooked breakfast, the girls and I started on a patchwork skirt for their toys. As is usual, I horrendously underestimated the … Continue reading
