a quick update

forgot to blog last night – slapped wrists!

Started the day by doing planty things – the sunflowers that we planted a week or two back have sprouted. So we watered all the plants in the house, put our potatoes on a windowsill to chit (should be somewhere cool, but we haven’t got anywhere terribly cool!) and talked about things growing.

Then we tried to get a bit of housework done, and friends came round after lunch. We recapped on the balloon experiment, and dd showed off her spindle box (still can’t get over how much fun she’s getting out of an eggbox and a pile of buttons, but there you go) and there was much playing and drinking of tea. Ds took notes when the visiting baby started walking – can’t help thinking that he isn’t that far off, but don’t want to rush him – no idea where I’m going to put all the things he shouldn’t have!

Bit of a fall out with dd at tea time – would appear that we reached her limit about 10 minutes before the friends left. But all was happy when dp reappeared from his day away.
