  • A lovely day, if a touch less than successful

    but only in that we were supposed to be going to Honley show to see my sister compete, which she had said was in the afternoon. I got a text from her this morning at 10 o’clock to say her class was at 10, so we missed that 🙁 We went anyway, as we were…

  • All around the houses

    of the Puddles and the Portico! And although I took my laptop with me, it only came out once I think, so this is all from memory. Weds morning we went to Shirebrook, where the activity was basket weaving. Must take a photo of Big’s basket, it’s fab. Woven from cane, she did 90% of…

  • Lovely day out

    off the path 😉 Newest addition is cute, although he didn’t seem to be in a mood for cuddles today – never mind, an excuse to go back! (Like we *need* an excuse, :grin:) And as ever, a lovely time had by adults, chatting, and children, playing. Didn’t see Big dressed up in school uniform,…

  • Gosh, it seems quiet now.

    As all the guests have gone 🙁 Small is sitting next to me drawing, and Big is working on a Hoobs book. I’ve caught up on the blogring, the washing is out although I’ve a pile of washing up to do. The weekend didn’t really turn out according to plan. Not that there was all…

  • Thursday and I've barely blogged!

    That’s no good, I won’t be able to remember a thing 😉 Let’s see, Big stayed at Barbara’s after our group on Monday, and was brought back Tues afternoon. I spent Tues morning decluttering, reasonably successfully, and it must have catching, as Tim got to work on the back bedroom. 🙂 Barbara came round for…

  • Look what we did!

    It was fun 🙂 So that was the afternoon – lots of children, adults, newspapers and tape. Worked well I thought, think ppl enjoyed it. And there was playdough for children while adults rolled up paper tubes, so everyone had a chance to get messy. Evening – went back to Barbara’s where the children had…

  • I seem to have been rather quiet

    I’ve been having complete chaos workwise on the ‘puter, as well as still trying to study for my java exam (which I’ve wimped out on and postponed for another couple of weeks) so I haven’t felt all that much like blogging recently. I ought to make the effort to make little notes – it’s only…

  • Dinner by candlelight

    and requests for hothousing. It was an odd day yesterday. Um, struggling to remember much of it – the drawback of regular blogging I think, as usually I don’t have to apply my memory, I can just read back. Do know that my parents popped round, seemed to be wanting to discuss the HE thing,…

  • Ticking the boxes, and pondering.

    Better get a cup of tea and a chair, it’s a long one 😉 Been a lovely day today, which is a huge improvement on the rest of the week. Well, it was OK when Mimi was round the other day, the smalls were no trouble, but Big and I are going through one of…

  • Internet romance?

    It’s not an inner circle joke as such, although I suppose ppl who know us better will know that Tim and I originally met on an email list, got to know each other by IM and phone, before meeting on my doorstep at dawn, nearly 7 years ago now. Awww….. two children later ;), we’re…
