was rather pleasant!
Power went out as we were eating tea, about 18.20. We finished tea, rescued the camping kettle from the shed so that we could have hot drinks, and the children had an hour reading and singing with Daddy 🙂 Tim now knows first hand precisely why reading lessons with Big make me want to pull my hair out (just as well his is nice and short) and Small enjoyed watching the rest of us singing and dancing to all the songs in the Teddy Bear picnic book.
Now we have ‘lectrickery again, Big is upstairs having her bedtime story, and Small is zoning out with Max and Ruby. I’m hoping he’s tired, looks like he might be.
So what have we got up to today? Lie-in all round to start the day, quickly followed by a phone call from yet another recruiter. That means my cv is out with about five agencies, but I’ve not had any calls back on specific jobs. 🙁 Pottered about processing washing a stage or two through its cycle this morning (that’s a thought, could we draw the storage/ washing cycle of clothes? We read a book about the lifecycle of the oak tree this weekend, and she really enjoyed it, and she spotted another one in a poster on the wall this afternoon and was thrilled).
This afternoon was our puddlers session, we did puppets. Another successful group, and another new face. We’ve got quite a pool of families there now, which is rather nice. Did the shopping on the way home, which was less than amusing. Arrived at a Netto on the ring road minutes after the delivery truck had been, which meant navigating narrow corridors strewn with delivery pallets, so that you couldn’t actually get to (or even see in some cases!) the products behind them. Not the most successful shopping trip we’ve undertaken recently.
Home for pasta and sauce, and that’s it, you’re up to date. 🙂

sounds like a lovely day, even with the powercut 🙂
we had a great Christmas one year with a power cut – cooked salmon on the wood burner & ate cake by candle light – lovely )
I enjoyed the power cut. It is a great deal quieter without every one of our bloody neighbours using all their power tools and all their Hifis and all their televisions at the same time so they have to shout at each other to hold a conversation. We got to hear birds in our garden.
