I spent a happy half hour or so chatting via IM to a friend on the other side of the world this morning, although of course it was evening for her. So that was a nice start to the day. I had half a plan to do a photoday today so did take some snaps first thing but fizzled out during the day so I’ll try again tomorrow. The children watched Words and Pictures, played with some tessellation tiles, the toy animals and the wooden blocks and eventually got dressed so we could head over to Ali’s house. Ady was at college today having mock exams which is fairly local so he took my car and I took the AdyMobile instead which was nice, still not used to having six gears though 😆
We had a slow start to a nice time at Ali’s with the children incapable of either playing away from us together, near us quietly or simply going for longer than about 20 seconds without interupting us. We admired the new gears!gears!gears! and finally they did go off and play for ages really well in the end so Ali and I finally got our chat.
We came home and they resumed their game while I cooked their tea, Ady came home having spent all day sitting in exam conditions, the kids watched Shaun the Sheep and then went off to bed and I cooked quiche for tea.
This all sounds terribly mundane and uninspired and I really do have interesting stuff to come back but it’ll have to wait for another day cos I’m simply not in the mood tonight.
