It's the weekend!

And boy am I ready for it. It’s been a funny week, what with one thing and another, and having work crank up a level has been challenging but also oddly fun. I still have two slightly pathetic children – they mainly just pottered today, lots of games with play food, but also quite a long time on the puter.

I’m determined to clear some backlogs this weekend, get some stuff out of the door, but also to spend some time, especially with Big doing some of the craft things she wants to do. And I want to finish the hoodie properly (put buttons on), get some more stuff on sale on ebay or via a list on here possibly (books anyone? Might get shot of some vaguely educational things. Maybe.) Oh, and we want to get to the library.

Slightly annoyed that my next crochet project is on hold, I wanted to finish off something quickly so bought a ball of sirdar bigga in cranberry to make a hat, and didn’t realise I need two. Bother. Might have to another online search, see if I can find it on sale somewhere at a reasonable price.

Small is amusing us with his constant running commentary, not that all that much of it is understandable tbh. I’m sure that is going to improve with practise on all our parts 😉

Right, bath time for grots, before our luxurious treat meal (fish and chips, he eats the fish, I get the chips, win-win :grin:). Might push the boat out and have a beer. We know how to live, don’t we?
