Not least because we all slept in!
Big was up at 9.15, dp let me and Small stay in bed til 10…can’t remember the last time that happened. So I think I’ve been tiring them out somewhat 🙂 Anyway, by the time we were up, breakfasted and dressed it was nearly lunch time. I missed a call from the EO phonetree saying that the outing today was off because of the weather, but we weren’t going out in it anyway. We had cuddles on the couch watching a slightly traumatic programme called Project Noah on Animal Planet. I know the elephant made it in the end, but it looked rather close, and both myself and Big were in tears. Hopeless, I know.
She spent some time discovering that she could build all sorts of different shapes with the train track, which is a bit of a breakthrough I’ve got to say. Small was impressed as well. After a rather late lunch she figured out finger knitting, so I set her up with a crochet hook and took Small up for a nap. Took him ages to get to sleep – not helped by Big bursting into the room twice and waking him up again 🙁
She didn’t really get the hang of crochet, but was quite happy to manage a few stitches, and I was impressed with that. Then I set her up with our Webland trial which she played on quite happily for a couple of hours while I tried to get some work done and Small slept.
Late tea, late bath, and late bed, but a relatively peaceful day anyway. Phone rang a few times, which is moderately unusual for us. Calls included an agency about a possible contract role in Bedfordshire (that’ll be an easy commute then) and the local plod to say they can’t trace the other car from last weeks shunt. And he has now committed an offence as he failed to stop, and failed to report an accident. Utterly bizarre if you ask me, but dp suspects he was uninsured. Ah well, at least there was no damage to my car.

glad you had a better SAH day than me! and reckon DP is right about the other party not being insured.
Mmmmmmm…. i saw a thing on the news today saying something like 1 in 20 people drive uninsured. Scary really.
Our freaky event of yesterday was driving behind a land fill dumper and a plank of wood fell off the back and hit the metal strut of the car in between the two windows Fran was sitting between. I swear i had driven another mile before reality bit about what would have happened if it had hit the glass not the metal 🙁
Sounds like you needed a day in – i think the bug was a wiper really – Fran sat still all day.
