More…

Spent the last couple of hours reading all the library books we borrowed last week so we can take them back and get some more. Loads of story books although none which stand out and were all a little on the babyish side really as the children still make their choices based on the pictures 😉

Davies and I have read books about bugs, camouflage and crabs and crustaceans, so we’ve both learnt loads about them, Scarlett has messed about with her leappad, worked out how to put a dvd on all by herself (Dora and the city of lost toys – I know I have your sympathy for the song now repeating in my head Merry 😉 ) and we’re now having lunch.

I have sandwiches made with a couple of leftover slices of last night’s gammon which Scarlett (the carnivore – she’d eat it raw 🙂 ) is filching from the bread. She’s trying every sort of food imaginable at the moment , yesterday it was egg mayo sandwiches – which she loved but won’t be eating lots as I don’t like either the taste or the smell so it won’t be a dish I make lots at home ;-). Davies who was amazed at us cooking ham in coke last night before he went to bed just asked me ‘so how was the cooked coke last night then?’ with the look of a far older person laughing at an idiot, I said it had been lovely and offered him some of the gammon but he said ‘ah no thanks, I think I’ll stick to just drinking it!’ – that child has way too much of my father at his most condescending at times 😉
