Today was a free day with no arrangements made and I had various possible plans in mind but as it turned out the children were very happily engaged with various things; making Doctor Who characters from lego, playing with the toy animals, watching Class TV etc. so I didn’t bother disturbing them. I did several loads of washing, put the chicks outside and when Candle the cat was fast asleep and the children were utterly engrossed in their game I snuck outside with the camera hoping to get some good shots of the chicks. In under a minute the children were out, closely followed by Candle, so although we got Freddie out for a quick photoshoot further plans were scuppered and we all came back in again.
We walked round to the postbox just before lunchtime and when we got back I realised we didn’t have any defrosted bread so I made some cheese scones and as I had ingredients out anyway and three bananas going way too brown and mushy to eat I baked some banana cakes too. Lucy and The Rs came round for the afternoon which was great as I’d really missed Lucy while she was on holiday and Scarlett, particularly, had miss Ms R too last week. The children spent most of the afternoon in the garden playing until Ady arrived home, Lucy and The Rs left and I whizzed to the supermarket for food supplies for the week.
When I got back Ady and I shut the children and cat in the house and went and got the chicks in and got my photos of them for posting on my chicken forum for ideas on their breed and gender and in a very rare show of utter organisation we were bathed and eating dinner before 830pm ( last night it was more like 1030pm, so this is worthy of note 😉 ) . Everyone, including the chicks and cat have been asleep for about an hour and I have been enjoying the peace, but now as I am working for the next 3 days I need to go to bed myself.
