Knitting and ecotech.
Today was my deadline before my second extension for my TMA, so obviously I was frantically writing it up and trying to finish it off yesterday. :/ Wonder if I’ll ever get to a point where I don’t run my head into deadlines before I start doing something about whatever it is I’m doing? Anyway,…
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…
Add one child, makes for an easy day
Big and E were dropped off just before 10 yesterday morning, and barring a brief attitudinal outburst from Big just before lunch, life was very easy yesterday. The girls played together beautifully, and Small bounced in and out, sometimes with them, and sometimes on his own. Apart from logistical issues like how to process three…
Mon night onwards.
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…
Another Melrose week.
I started to type up notes at Melrose so that I’d have a nice complete blog when I got home. I didn’t get very far. It was far more interesting to sit and chat and crochet or loom, play games, drink wine or tea or help with cooking. It was even OK to do washing…
Weekends and weekdays, all flowing together.
Given that neither Tim or I are working outside the home atm, the pattern to life here is somewhat fluid. Weekends are slightly more marked in that they are our chances to see the ppl who do work, relatives and friends both, and we made our most of our chances with a ppl filled time…
Things other ppl forgot to tell me.
Got a voicemail from D, stepfather yesterday. Apparently it’s the coroner’s inquest for my sister today, which obviously I can’t go to as I’m in CP, but various other family members are going to. Felt very excluded and emotional for a bit, but that was all wiped out when Big had a major tantrum (think…
Harry Potter and swimming.
Despite heckling and all the rest of it, I did go to bed positively early last night. I then laid there for hours listening to a computer rebooting itself with monotonous regularity and eventually got disturbed by Tim coming to bed and shutting it down. I then got up at 7 o’clock this morning. I’ll…
We will socialise.
Long day today (although not compared to a working day. That seems like another life already, although it’s not even a month ago yet). Got up with the alarm, or as near as I ever do, and tootled off into town to get yeast and stuff to take to HE group (bought dates, that’s Greek…
Lovely day out
Jan suggested meeting at a local cinema to see The tale of Desperaux, which sounded like a good idea, so we did. It did of course mean that the one thing I’d planned for today, a library visit, only occurred as a hit and run – dash in, drop large pile of books on desk,…
