A quick outing

Wasn’t planning to go out this morning, but just as I was logging off last night got an email from Sarah to say that they had tickets for a drumming and storytelling workshop that they couldn’t use, and we were welcome to them if we wanted. Hm, Chesterfield by 10.30 on a saturday morning…doable?

Doable having done a load of washing and most of the washing up! Fantastic. And I dressed and fed the children – even managed to have a shower myself, so impressed. (It’s these little achievements that make us feel worthwhile 😉 )

The workshop was wonderful – both the children thoroughly enjoyed it. We didn’t stay for the full hour – think that would have been a bit much for Small. He liked the musical interludes rather than the stories, while Big seemed to enjoy both. I’ve had a bit of a google for the chap who did the session and not turned anything up – I think his name is Tupe, but I could be spelling it wrong.

Went and bought ourselves some fruit from the market for a snack – would have liked to look round but it was wet and windy and I didn’t have the buggy with me (had decided that it would be too much in the library where the storytelling was going on) or a sling (as still got a painful breast and didn’t want to risk compounding it). So we ate our snack and then beetled off to shop. Decisions, decisions, Tesco or the coop? I’d like to use the coop more, but we’re out of malted wheats (non Nestle shreddies alternative) and the coop doesn’t carry them. So Tescos it was – and they were out of stock. Typical.

Remembered some more bits of yesterday that I’d wanted to blog, mainly my decluttering/ recycling efforts (gave some clothes to Kirsty and Barbara’s offspring!) Still sure there was something else…
