Missing a month
only photographically – took the kids to a party this afternoon and discovered when I got back that I had pictures from the last party they attended at the end of September, then nothing from October, and then pictures again today. Hm. Must do better – they are growing and changing so fast, I really…
A good day
started by the fact that I didn’t surface until 12.30, as I was finishing off my book, The Margarets 🙂 Not sure that I can be bothered to write a separate book review post (although I ought, as there are a couple of other books I’ve read that I haven’t reviewed yet. But there you)…
Pirate Day
We went to pirate day. 🙂 Tim broke his camera and had to use mine. 🙁 This means way more pictures than usual 🙂 Actually we went on Friday, and helped to do things. This was good. We stayed up way too late, drank wine, chatted, sat in the sun, and had a lovely time.…
Groundrules and guests.
Last week it was very wet and dreary for August, so A bought a Wii for holiday club, which at least meant the children were active and happy rather than just drooping around the place. Then as they are away this week, I’ve brought the Wii home – I’ll take it back to school next…
another week, another catch up blog post.
But not posted on Friday night as I was in a field. Well, for some of it, quite a lot of it was spent drinking wine in a nearby house. The week before. No walking (no cat to feed). No library trip, got books to read before that happens. Did a bit of reading, started…
Pay It Forward Exchange
I’ve signed up to the Home Baked Education: Pay It Forward Exchange Instructions as found there: Let me tell you about it, these are the instructions: “It’s the Pay It Forward Exchange. It’s based of the concept of the movie “Pay it Forward†where acts or deeds of kindness are done without expecting something in…
relaxing weekend.
I did attempt to locate Bil and the children, but got no response to text or calls, so when C called up to invite us over to meltham instead, it seemed a good idea. We loaded up with sunsuits, suncream, sunhats and towels and went and sat in the garden, with Pimms and home made…
weekend away, and amphibians galore.
I can’t remember Friday day – I know that I got up early enough to shove camping stuff into the car, and then I went to work, but I can’t actually remember work apart from continuously looking at my phone to find out whether it was time to go yet. Tim took the kids out…
birthdays, beds and other stuff.
We’ve had two birthdays this week, as mentioned previously, so there have been drawn out celebrations. After thursday, which was multiply blogged, on friday we met my mother at M’hell, partly for the purposes of buying wedding wear as my sister’s nuptials are approaching. (This is my sole remaining unmarried sister, so unless they start…
What a difference a day makes
when you leave your laptop switched off 🙂 It’s still switched off. I’m borrowing Tim’s machine, while he’s out shopping and the grots are bathing. I’ve really enjoyed the freedom, haven’t felt that the day got away from me at all. Well, apart from the first hour or so I spent sleeping after the grots…
