Bit of a washout really, with the orthodontic next stage.
The drought is at least temporarily over in Suffolk. It’s done a lot of raining here today, which is a good thing – we’ve been missing it. It also means I haven’t had to carry the grey water out to water my sad and sorry looking garden, which is very good. Particularly good as I…
Hannibal returns.
Years ago, when I was a much younger and less experienced parent (and actually thought there might be a Right Way to do things, that only I didn’t know) Big went to nursery. It was a very good nursery. The staff cared very much about the children, and they were all very calm, highly qualified…
Hectic hurried days.
Have had a couple of horriedly hectic days this week, with appts in far flung places and odd gaps in between. Fortunately have managed to fill some of the gaps with friends, like the Puddles and the Beans 🙂 It’s cost a fortune in diesel as well – meaning that when I can I drive…
A quick octopus craft.
Trying to get my crafting mojo back atm, so I said I would try for something for RedTedArt Under the sea Get Crafty. In the end I took part in a purely supervisory role… What you will need for this craft is a book, preferably a fairly hefty tome, and some yarn. We chose a…
PMM or, yet another afternoon at the leisure centre.
I spent yet more hours of my life at the leisure centre yesterday. On a Saturday afternoon, when I could have been outside in the glorious sunshine. Only the hardcore were there – about 15 members of the swimming club and a few brave adults, plus of course the parents, all watching our children take…
Day 6 – an unexpected dentist #30dayplan
I’m beginning to understand why I rarely seem to get on top of anything. I know I’m very poor at organisation, but on the one day that I should have had a clear run at various stuff, I ended up losing a couple of hours to a dentist trip. Big has braces. She’s had them…
Kentwell and 1553.
Today I dragged the children out of bed just after 7, nearly three hours earlier than their preferred rising time in order to drag them 45 mins across country to an open day for potential re-enactors at Kentwell Hall. It was a cold start to a long day, as we drove the bright sun was…
Day the third, in which we finally crack the orthodontic wax thing.
Another long day today. In hindsight, having a hectic week when Big was having her braces fitted wasn’t a good plan, but several things snuck themselves in there independently, and there wasn’t anything that could easily give. So today we got up, had a tantrum or two, and only left the house a half hour…
Braces day 2, line dancing and Guides.
Baby had me up at 2something or other am, and then at 7 and then at 8. So you’ll excuse me if this is rather disjointed, but I want to jot some notes down anyway. Didn’t run this morning – we should have gone to music, but in the end Big was a little fragile…
