We were sitting watching TV tonight and I commented on something and Ady took on a superior tone and proclaimed ‘well when you’re on TV and…’ before he saw my face, realised just what he’d said and we both fell about laughing. I’m so not going to let him get all starry and refuse to hoover! 😆
I worked today, it was busy with lots of bitty queries and annoyances. The photocopier conked out and we had computer classes using up all the pcs for most of the day which always results in people coming and sort of standing there expecting you to wave a magic wand and summon up some more pcs or something. I did laugh with one woman who mock-frustrated said to me ‘well you’ve got no computers, no photocopier….’ and I said ‘yep, tech wise we’re a poor offering today. Can I interest you in any books?’ 😆
Ady and the kids spent lots of time in the garden. Unsurprisingly we have bedding plants aplenty so they planted them in, Ady gave them both all the plants from the QVC featured Autumn Plant Container kit and let them do their own designs. They de-chickened the garden although we’re keeping the run and coop incase we get offered wildlife from anyone – we’ve already been asked if we want a partridge. They also went to Tescos to get picnic supplies for tomorrow and had everywhere tidy when I got home at 5.
We had a big library book gathering up session with a pile ready to be taken back on Saturday and I read the children the big pile of childrens books. We had various titles including a few stories, one about God recounting various bible stories cartoon strip style and a junior non-fiction about signs of the zodiac as a result of a conversation I’d had with one of the children (not even sure which of them it was now, probably Davies) and ordered a book in to give more information. So we looked at the information on each star sign to see if we are like we are supposed to be and decided Ady and Scarlett are very true to their signs, Davies is less so and mine is not remotely like me – and never has been. We talked a bit about planet alignment too and how ‘proper’ star charts are drawn up. I once worked with a girl who was very into all that sort of stuff and did a tarot card reading on me and my whole star chart too. She was very into spiritual stuff and actually did manage to predict a fair few things, albeit in a very vague way, that have since happened to us, a good few years before there was any hint that they might happen. I must catch up with her actually, it’s been well over a year and I know where she was last working so could probably find her fairly easily… interesting friends like her really shouldn’t be allowed to slip away!
They went off to bed early, which was a pointless exercise as they both stayed awake for ages. Scarlett has a cold and I’m pretty sure Davies is going down with it (which at least explains Scarlett’s ‘trickiness’ the last few days) but I’m hopeful they’ll still be on form for Legoland tomorrow. I’m really looking forward to it actually, Ady hasn’t been with us for over 2 years so being able to go on everything will be a real novelty :).
A partridge is no good. You need a partridge EACH for a decent Christmas dinner 🙂
