A day at home today.We’ve had a lot of them lately and I don’t really like them. I don’t feel particularly motivated to do loads of ‘at home’ stuff and I tend to end up either sitting on the laptop, reading or knitting while the children entertain themselves. I’m sure all this is fine and …

Just out of interest because I have no idea how long it takes me to blog. Work for me this morning. It was a usual busy Wednesday. I spent the first hour taking down a display ready for someone else to put one up tomorrow. The second hour and a half covering the enquiry desk …
We didn’t get to London this morning. 🙁 Davies woke up around 3am and told Ady he wanted to go and snuggle up on the sofa and watch TV. I’d have either told him to go back to bed or told him to go right on ahead but either way I’d have gone back to …
friends, parties, food, chocolate, games -got ’em all yesterday :). We managed to get out nearly an hour later than I’d hoped for due to faffing about from everyone except me. I do get fed up about our inability to get out of the house and the lack of foresight from everyone else about things …
Back to work for me today and it was a busy and bustling Saturday morning to return to. It went very quickly. The senior was the children’s librarian for the area and I had tea break with her including a nice chat about SATs and schools and HE. I spent an hour printing off and …
I didn’t get to sleep til about 3am (not going to bed til 2am probably had something to do with it, must get back into better nocturnal habits) so it was gone 9am when I woke. Davies and Scarlett both came upstairs while I was getting dressed but I heard Davies’ bedroom door shut and …
I managed a fairly good night’s sleep (aided by drugs) and woke feeling much better this morning. I was definitely right not to be at work today, I don’t think I could have pulled that off but I had lost all my acheyness and inability to do more than make a cup of tea without …
Actually really quite properly ill 🙁 I started sneezing last night and feeling rough throated and stayed up til nearly 2am on the basis that all the time I was blowing my nose every 2 minutes there was no point in lying down and disturbing Ady too. I was right and I seemed to have …
Yesterday evening I got sidetracked with knitting and picpic (DS game) and never got round to blogging. I tend to do that, get utterly immersed in something, (set up a blog about it ;)) then totally exhaust it. Picpic has an end (although I’m not there yet), the current knitting project (a jumper for me …
Ady did some planting out of potatoes first thing while the kids played in the garden and I drank tea and knitted. I then took a very long phonecall from my Mum (well over an hour) which is giving me lots to think about. I do stongly believe that mother / daughter relationships are the …
Friday Work day for me. I’d wrongly assumed as it was half term there would be no Baby Rhyme Time as it is term time only but the session had been advertised and we actually had a good turn out. As we were singing wheels on the bus an older man walked past the junior …
This morning Davies and Scarlett played with some foam blocks. And watched Wall E. And Kung Fu Panda, well the films were on in the background really as a soundtrack to their games. I did some knitting and some online stuff including talking Davies through the HE consultation and typing in his answers for him. …
A funny old day today. Scarlett had her Rainbows Art Day. Previously she’s not been interested in any of the outside of normal time Rainbows events, particularly if I can’t go along with her but when the Art Day was mentioned a few weeks ago she was really keen. We established that it was all …
and how very directly my frame of mind and it’s little blue pilot light are connected. This morning I was all efficient with phonecalls (made dentist appointments, checked to ensure we were booked on an event at Littlehampton museum, rang and left a message on Julie’s answerphone) and emails (3 to friends we’ve not seen …
I’ve made the booking for Monday 30th March. The session will be from 10am -2pm and will cost £5 per person. I need a minimum of 20 people but am keen to not go too much higher than that. It’s pay on the day but if we do fall short of the number we will …
Today I have: Knitted. One front and one sleeve and most of a second sleeve of a jumper. I’ve now decided it’s not what I want so tomorrow I’ll be unpicking it all again. For the second time. Third time lucky maybe. Got lots of washing processed. I even hung some outside for a while. …
During which I didn’t leave the house at all! Infact aside from cooking roast lamb I’ve not really done a lot other than knit today. It’s been warm infront of the fire and relaxing to do nothing after a fairly stressy week. With lots of prodding Ady joined in with Davies and Scarlett’s lego playing. …
Work for me this morning. It was an odd one as Yvonne was off sick, one of the Saturday assistants was on annual leave so we had Big Boss Brenda who is a proper important librarian (and runs the reading group) and a relief member of staff Sherrin who runs homework club which totally changed …
Continue reading “Would it have been quicker to just huff over cold water?”
it would be neither half full nor half empty, it would be bloody frozen solid! I’m veering wildly here between stoic and pioneering, reasoning it’s no colder than camping and a bit of an adventure and it won’t kill us and other such stuff and crying at how cold and fed up I am. I’ve …
First overnight in arctic conditions survived. It *is* cold, we tend to keep our house on the warm side of normal anyway so we’re feeling it all the more. I slept in a fleecy nightie and socks last night and as I usually sleep naked I expected to wake in the night too hot and …
