Work for me this morning. We watched a video clip on the local paper’s website about a bloke who comes in the library quite often (and is a bit weird) who auditioned for Britains Got Talent. It made us laugh lots and we’re considering getting the music to play and dance to every morning before …

It’s Friday
We’d planned to go on a walk today to a local nature reserve but the crappy looking weather deterred us so instead we had Tasha and co and Lucy and The Rs over here instead. Given we all live within about a 2 mile radius of each other it seemed rather silly to drive to …
Please don’t bother trying to find me
I’m not there! Work all day for me today. It seemed to be lots of counselling a colleague who is really struggling and listening to another colleague having a moan about her really. My lunchbreak was interupted by the bloke who runs the computer courses wanting to chatter and ruining my treasured hour of peace …
Speed blogging
so I don’t get behind again. Davies and Scarlett had the opticians for routine eye tests this morning so we headed into town and fortunately found a parking space straight away as we were cutting it very fine for time. Scarlett went first and was a star 🙂 No problems with her eyes. Davies has …
Yay caught up!
Technically it’s Wednesday but until I go to bed it’s still Tuesday as far as I’m concerned so there! Early start for Forest School today and we were cutting it fine getting out of the house but made it for 10am okay. I dropped Davies and Scarlett off, sat in the carpark and watched them …
Monday
A perfect day for washing thankfully so I was able to clear all the smokey smelling camping washing. I rang Julie first thing as she’d left a message on the answer phone over the weekend asking if we were going to Pulborough Brooks. I was half tempted not to bother and to have a quiet …
The weekend and the bits either side of it
Friday I worked in the morning. It feels like a long time ago now and about all I recall is that I did Baby Rhyme Time. I’m sure there was more but it’s all forgotten now :). I finished work at 130pm and came home. Mum had been here with Davies and Scarlett for the …

Crafty
Today was the day of the craft fair. In true Nic style I had a massive list of things to do to be ready for it and wonderful people that they are Davies, Scarlett and Ady managed to be supportive and helpful :). Davies and Scarlett were largely self-entertaining, with Davies doing a fine line …
Weaving on Wednesday
Ady took Davies and Scarlett over to Liza’s this morning where they had a very nice time watching Bolt, which I have heard a different plot line of from each of them :lol:. I had my hour home alone which I spent mostly emailing photos to Ady to print off at work for the craft …
forest for the trees
I had to rouse Davies and Scarlett this morning and very reluctant to get up and out they were too. I did manage to galvanise them to action and they breakfasted, packed their rucksacks, got dressed and we headed off to Forest School. We were about 10 minutes early which didn’t help Davies who was …
Long weekend
We weren’t camping (much though we’d have loved to have been but I was working Saturday and Ady was working today so it wouldn’t have been much of a trip anywhere really for one night!) but we have had a busy weekend and been out both evenings so blogging sort of took a back seat. …
The really rather peckish caterpillar
Ady woke me at about 6am to tell me he thought one of the houses in our street was on fire, that loads of neighbours were out in the street and the fire brigade were there. Having ascertained we didn’t need to evacuate our house I went back to sleep! He thought it was hilarious …
Felt like Friday
Work all day for me today. I spent some time on the desk where among other things I helped an 84 year old man (he told me, he said ‘I’m 84 you know’ ;)) find a postcode for the Glanurk estate so he could write to Tiggy Legge-Berke who he used to know when she …
About that walking on the sun
Davies has decided he’s going to always get up and dressed and make his breakfast now. Fine by me, until he proudly told them at Badgers tonight ‘I get up before my Mummy and get dressed and make my own breakfast’. This when I was being told off for sewing Davies’ badge on wonkily ‘do …
We might as well be walking on the sun
Today we have mostly been listening to Smash Mouth. Davies was up, dressed and eating his breakfast at way-before-I-was-awake o’clock so keen was he about Forest School this morning. Scarlett and I followed at a rather more leisurely pace. I’d been woken at about 5am by some tap dancing pigeons who have taken up residence …
Paradise Lost
Honestly I don’t know why I bother! Every year I have at least one burst of wanting to give something back to the local HE community and arrange loads of free and not free, local and not local, indoor and outdoor meet ups. Every year me and one or two other people who are already …
Cavemen, cycling and camping
We’d decided to go to the Sustainability Centre today to have a look round and see how it’s all looking for camping in two weeks time. It seemed to take forever to actually get out of the house but we finally set off about 11am ish after Davies and Scarlett had spent more time in …
Some things you just never forget how to do…
A lazy start to the day and we planned to go shopping in the morning but while I was having one more cup of tea and the children were already playing cavemen outside (latest game) my Dad arrived so he stayed for a couple of hours instead. Ady changed the blade on his chainsaw for …

I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
Work for me today all day. Due to my cough I didn’t do baby rhymetime, I think the risk of them all having to carry on singing without me while I PMSC in the corner was too great. I did the banking first thing, followed by spending some time coming up with a proposal of …
Four bloggings in one day
is probably too much even for me 😉 So I’ll direct you here for this years photoblog, here for what we did at the allotment this afternoon and just fill in a couple of additional bits which are: A massive THANKYOU to Ali for my fab birthday treat which I redeemed the voucher for today …
