For me all day. Which means I don’t really know what went on at home. I know the geomags and the toy cars were played with. I know that in the afternoon Davies and Scarlett created a zoo. I know this because I was greeted at the gate with a sign saying ‘soo’ made by Davies and taken on a guided tour of said zoo. This included a hand built ‘waterfall’ in the garden, a row of chairs for ‘visitors’ and some real live chickens 😆 (one of which pecked Davies today, rather sealing its’ fate as next for the table, if we only had a table of course :lol:). Then inside to Tarly’s bedroom which had a variety of soft toy animals and a toy laptop on the bed as ‘Tarly’s office space’. In the playroom there were more soft toy and plastic animals and then upstairs in Davies’ room were yet more, including a monkey house where toy monkeys hung off a dalek put there for decoration and climbing fun for monkeys :lol:. I love their imagination, creativity, inventiveness and attention to detail. 🙂
My day was fine, filled with chatter with workmates and borrowers. And I’ve been scheduled for my first Baby Rhyme Time session next Friday so will be practising lots of nursery rhymes for the next week :).
I beat Ady home by about half an hour so the children were sitting down to tea when he arrived home. We sat and chatted while the children disappeared off to play again. I popped off to get picnic food for tomorrow and then we sat down with dinner and watched Build a new life in the country, which was about a couple who sold up, bought a derelict house and land in Ireland and with limited budget renovated the house and started the road to self sufficiency, with no mortgage, no debts and no need to work. It was an excellent show and I thought the family were really inspiring with their passion and belief in their dream, not to mention their committment to it through the rough patches. Very interesting watch :).
It rains lots in Ireland and you can’t grow lemons.

pmsl at Heather, we have no intention of moving to Ireland, it was the adventure that appealed. Somewhere like, I don’t know, New Zealand, would be more like our plan ;).

Who’s next for the roasting tin then?

Ah, so Zoo Tycoon had quite a big influence then. I think you can get it on x-box too. D was really into it and it’s very educational.
Richard loves nursery rhymes and has probably been a bit deprived in that area. I’m sure he’ll be thrilled to help 😉
