finally getting organised

Apologies to anyone struggling with aspects of this blog layout – it’s pretty terrible actually, isn’t it? I wrongly assumed that something that validates (which I believe this does) would lay out bearably in everything. I’m afraid I won’t have time to do much with it before Hesfes either.

Anyway, we went over to see Jan , partly to borrow some camping things, but mostly becuase we like going to see Jan and her girls (and Jonathan, although technically he was working, so we didn’t see very much of him) 😉 As anticipated, despite still being fragile, dd had a great day with her friend, and I got to have lovely chats with Jan about all sorts of things. And she showed me another great resource catalogue, so I think I’ll be having some pattern blocks from there.

Small had a fun day too – he cracked walking with a brick cart. Turns out that his Gummylump cart is too heavy for him to push and walk at the same time, but this little wooden trolley was perfect – so he marched backwards and forwards in the living room, grinning his little head off throughout. Brilliant!

Back late-ish and Grandma came over for a very pleasant family tea. Dd did melt down at one point over nothing much – she is really feeling out of it poor girl. Hoping that she is going to cope with the excitement of the holiday – will try to keep her as quiet as possible tomorrow, but afraid it’s going to be a bit frantic…

now I’m off to bed. Loads to do tomorrow!
