On Mon evening, Small put his geometry set to new and innovative uses, digging holes in his pj top, before moving on to his hand 🙁 Half baked plans for dropping him at mother’s Tues evening so that I could both go to my tutorial and set off for more southern parties later in the morning on Weds were discarded as I came to the conclusion that it would be unfair on both of them 🙁 Grumped my way through Tuesday morning, while writing up my OU TMA (discovering I’d done one of the questions wrong first time around, which is the major reason I write it all out again neatly, to check it) and decided that a late invitation to Merry’s sounded like a good idea.
Children made birthday cards while I gathered things together and then ranted at them while they failed to gather their things but eventually loaded up children, bedding and stuff and headed along the M62, then got off the M62 and went back to go across country, stopping to pick up the forgotten wine on the way. This did reinforce that we’d have had to set off really very early this morning had we tried to do it in one day.
What with one thing and another, it was 7.30 before we got to Merry’s, but the children were quickly off and in full swing, so that we adults could sit around, chat, and drink wine. Was unable to fix the Wii Wifi thingy (must get my head around networks one of these days) but this didn’t stop us spectating at AC for some time, before a ludicrously late night.
Children of course up at crack of dawn, though I managed another 90 minutes sleep before surfacing, which is probably the only reason I’m still awake now 😉
Morning passed quickly until we moved on to softplay for SBs party, always good to catch up with friends, didn’t seem two minutes since I’d seen many of them 😉 Children seemed to have a good party, and we had good chatting, then back to Merry’s for birthday cake and eventually back to Beans for yet more chatting and some wining too.
And now it’s probably time to socialise without a netbook to hide behind 😀
