Two for the price of one
days that is. And I really mustn’t do this, if I don’t blog the day slightly after the fact, I lose all the details. Let’s see, I’m trying to remember Sunday. It started slowly I think, with children’s tv, most of which I loathe with a passion. But the children seem to enjoy it. Big…
Some much needed socialisation
for me! The children attend Brownies and Beavers, and on Tuesday Big starts swimming lessons. I offer a variety of other opportunities to get out and about, and they take me up on walks to the beach, library outings, shopping. They aren’t much into groups though, which means I don’t get to spend all that…
The personal stuff
Went to doctor’s about Small this morning, referral to community paediatrician set in motion. Not sure what they do, but there you go. That was after I’d slept in, I’m not sleeping well during the night, so given that I’d arranged for Tim to get up with the children, when he did, I turned over.…
Looking at bikes.
Can’t actually remember what went on this morning (maybe there’s a drawback to not brightkiting after all 😉 ) although I’m sure there was something that I was planning on blogging. Then just before lunchtime we decided we’d walk out with Tim to look at bikes at the other independent bikeshop in town. Tim wanted…
And another day passes
Tim and Small finished putting the curtain rail back up this morning and thus the computer/ tv ban was over, so they celebrated with a viewing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. I saw a game, Harry Potter Scene It? 2nd Edition DVD Game, in a charity shop the other day that I…
working out which way is up
Actually did some stuff with/for the kids today – unpacked five boxes labelled craft shelves in the hope of finding the cards, and only found one kit, but it was enough to get them both set up making birthday cards for forthcoming celebrations. Big was also particularly thrilled to use her embossing tools, as we…
spinning in circles.
Yesterday I got organised in the morning and took Tim’s car into town, drove it round the town centre three times, then gave up, parked it in a vacant space on a cross road, and carried four box loads of charity shop stuff to the Forget Me Not trust shop on the main road. Each…
Backdating…
Getting behind with blogging, this is the story of Monday, typed up on Tues at Merry’s, and posted from the Beans on Weds 🙂 Can’t be bothered to change the date though! After the children get bored they move on to what is a more productive phase, depending on how you look at it. For…
Boredom is good for them.
Over the last day or two, the children have started to get bored of the television and computer. This shows quite simply – they fight, which is not so good, and then they start to do other things, which is better. Big has played recorder and piano two days running, and they are both still…
Unsuccessful charity shop scouring
Given the number of Harry Potters in print, I find it slightly amazing how few there are in the charity shops in this town – our only find today was Azkaban, and we already have two copies of that. Oh well, we are sorted from the library right atm, I just wanted to be sure…
