Otherwise blah…
A couple of days at home here with lots of not a lot going on. Yesterday there was lots of X boxing, geomagging, Tarly did some painting and I got loads of washing done. My Dad came over in the afternoon and sat with Tarly while I took Davies to Badgers. He and Tarly have …
Happy Birthday to…

I wonder whatever happened to…?
You know there are odd people who you meet through your life and for one reason or another, sometimes without realising it’s going to happen you lose touch and never see them again? Most of them you forget quite happily but every so often some of them remain people you wonder about and you think …
Happy Birthday to…
Roslyn 🙂 Have a lovely day, lots of love, Ady, Nic, Davies and Scarlett xxx
When I grow up, I’m going to fly an aeroflane
Today started way, way, way too early at about 6am. 🙁 I’ve been so tired just lately and although I am managing to go for a couple of walks a week I am really lacking energy and enthusiasm for anything. We’ve been watching lots of films as part of the free trial on Tesco dvd …

Will he *ever* grow?
I went through some of Davies’ clothes today to try and sort out what extra stuff he might need for autumn/winter and up the pile of stuff for ebaying too. I was actually more ruthless about deciding he’d outgrown stuff than I probably need to be simply because some of it has already done two …
Aching hands…
Today was The Day Of The X Box (TM). For one day only constant Xboxing was allowed. So that’s pretty much what we did. So Davies and I learnt how to use the controls – at length. We alternated between W&G Project Zoo and W&G curse of the were-rabbit with me desperately craving something without …
What sort of mental are you?
Sentimental. Obviously. 😉 Haven’t done a Blogthings or Quizila quiz on it and don’t know if there is one, but that’d be the answer I got. I like being sentimental, I like reminsicing, talking about what I was doing X years ago today. And I like balancing out all my yelling, stropping and feeling fed …
Happy Birthday Davies
I can’t quite believe it’s six years since you were born. In many ways the years have raced by and the memory of sitting looking into your eyes for the very first time and saying hello to you feels like it was just this morning. In many other ways it feels as if you have …
On the last day of five…
This morning we loaded up the software Davies got from Ali for his birthday. My old laptop – the one which died after being knocked off the arm of the sofa and was replaced on the house insurance by the lovely little one I am using to post this – has not got a working …
Happy Birthday to…
Amelia also known as Pea – have a lovely 10th birthday with lots of love from Ady, Nic, Davies and Scarlett xxx
Getting back to normal… for now!
Back to Badgers last night for Davies. And in true Back To School fashion I was the mother sewing on the Global Badger badge he was presented with at the end of last term onto his jumper moments before he was putting it on, while he was stuffing his tea down and hopping around trying …
Back after the weekend then :-)
And what a weekend it was. Friday In the morning I did some last minute food stuff while the children played with geomags. At lunchtime Lucy, R and R arrived with Em, R and E. We had lunch, Davies and Em’s R either remembered each other from camp or were struck by adoration at second …
September sunshine…
Last year on 6th September I wrote this post, which is actually very similar to a post I was going to sit down and write this morning, so I won’t bother 😉 Tomorrow is me and Ady’s seventh wedding anniversary. I wrote a bit about our wedding two years ago on our fifth anniversary here. …
I feel busy, oh so busy…
And I missed yesterday too. So, Yesterday morning the cooking fest continued, then a trip to the post office for further ebay parcel sending and then Sainsburys for some more baking ingredients. Over to the park to meet Lucy, Rebecca and Richard who had already been there for nearly an hour without knowing whether we …
Argh!
Having major probs with my internet connection. I have managed to reconnect it after *hours* of trying but can’t get wireless going atm. I’ve got so much else to do the next 48 hours for once internet connections are going to slip way down my ‘to-do’ list. So if you need to contact me for …
Last day of the summer
It’s been a lovely day today, possibly more so because I’ve been surrounded in real life and online by people dealing with first day back to school and far from last week’s feeling that actually I was quite envious of them I am renewed with enthusiasm for Home Ed again this week. This morning a …
Countdown to the cracking party…
This morning we were watching CBBC which is quite unusual but something caught the children’s attention as we flicked past so we stayed with it. Which meant I was semi- watching Newsround when it came on with the news about Steve Irwin. We talked about that and I was distracted from a post about reaching …
Steve Irwin
Blimey what a shock this news is. How very sad.
