I was having a lovely dream

all about the house we’d just bought, which was lovely and old, rambling, with lots of cupboards and rooms. Then Tim woke me up – for a moment I was slightly cross, then he pointed out it was half past 12! 😳

So I missed half the day. I think I’ve been working too hard. No idea what the children had been doing this morning, came down and gave them lunch, had brunch myself, then we went out shopping. Aldi for food, and then we headed for Hobbicraft, intending to buy some craft stuff to do over the weekend.

We didn’t make it to Hobbicraft. There’s a new very large Au Naturale interiors store just before it, and it had a big display of learn to paint stuff in the window, so we swerved in there instead. 🙂 Inside we had a protracted lesson in maths – I told Big she could have up to £5 to spend. Turns out that that was far too much, as it took her nearly an hour to figure out what she wanted to buy! Mind, I could have spent hugely more than I did, and I really wish I had bought one of the making card sets I drooled over. But I never take the time to finish anything I start, so probably just as well I didn’t 🙁

Back home, and after I’d woken both children up from their power nap in the car, they romped in the garden while Tim and I mended the fence and then gave them tea. They were back out in the garden after that – usually it’s bath time straight away but they’ve been outside so rarely recently that I didn’t have the heart to drag them straight back in.

And that was our day. Watching some programme about country music on BBC four now, and cranking up to NCIS on fx in ten minutes time.

Oh, and here’s something I did earlier: Typical day posts page Was thinking it might be good to do a rerun of this sometime soon, but say the week after next, so that holiday time is over? Any takers?
