the eighth result
Now, how long is it going to be before I join the select crew of Wizard Whimstaff results in google? 😀 Tim took Big out today, and they went to wilkos and bought Wizard Whimstaff’s Hilarious Handwriting (aka Basic Skills: Handwriting: Ages 6-7 (Basic Skills)) and his Toady Times Tables: Magical Skills Level 1 (Magical…
watching Mary Poppins
Yesterday I worked from home. The break from driving was much appreciated! Kirsty came by and dropped A off while she took M to the dentist, and despite the fact it was ages since my two had seen A they all disappeared off upstairs, and were neither seen nor heard until about 5.45, when they…
A Steaming Good Day Out!
I have only ever been on the North Norfolk Railway and to a couple of museums including a trip long ago to the National Rail Museum in York so our trip to the Keighley and Worth Valley Railway was pretty exciting for me as well as the smalls. The railway extends south-west from Keighley in…
Eureka!
It has taken me a while to get round to blogging this. Last week I took the Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday off to avoid the Great Yorkshire Show traffic jams in Harrogate, which would have added several hours to my travelling time to work (which is already too long). I had planned to take…
Lovely afternoon.
This afternoon I got the afternoon I’d been looking forward to having yesterday, iyswim 😉 I dragged myself out of bed and mediated between screaming children (Big had decided to get dressed, which meant Small wanted to get dressed, but Big wasn’t doing it right (he doesn’t like having his ears touched much)) then breakfasted…
Birthday outing
Celebration part the third! This is getting to be one long celebration, and Big is loving every little bit of it. Having her oldest friend stay overnight, as he has done rather a lot of times in the past, ought to be straightforward and it did used to be. However, we didn’t used to have…
Birthday part the second
given that presents on Thursday night count as part one 😉 Long day though first, as there was lots to be done. Small had a hearing appt first thing this morning, so he and I were out bright and early (well, 9.30, which is bright and early for a Saturday I think 😉 ) and…
Weekend recap
Feeling that we did more history on Friday night, seems to be the in thing atm. Sat morning wandered around packing up the car with overnight gear that included a tent (!) and we pootled off the path which was lovely. Lots of other puddlers there as well, and most of us stayed over (only…
It's a strange day
Have had the news on most of the day, something I don’t think I’ve really done before. Not sure that it was a particularly sensible thing to do, it’s left me feeling rather drawn out and detached from our reality here. And that during a hectic day too. Got up early this morning and belted…
Thank goodness for agile teenagers
And that title would go straight into moderation, wouldn’t it? 😉 Had Sarah round this morning for bit of a tutorial on google adwords – interesting stuff. Will be writing some material to feature on my own site about it all. Then this afternoon went up to the Holme Valley to catch up with Jenny…
