At home the children were with Ady this morning and my Dad this afternoon. Ady and Scarlett spent some time tidying up the bathroom and then all three of them moved the chicks outside. They have their own self contained residence within the main chicken run and it’s been a bit like a zoo out there with the cockerel and the non-broody hen going and looking at them through the wire all day. Odd to think they are the parents of 4 of them :). The broody one is still doing a grand job of sitting on 3 eggs which I think she is well over halfway through incubating now. We’re likely to be totally overrun with chicks – fingers crossed there will be a couple of hens in there somewhere.
I had a nice day at work. Another colleague is leaving and they have reallocated all the various jobs so I now have a few additional things to do so I spent some time learning about those (nothing thrilling, stuff like how to deal with faulty dvds when they are brought back by borrowers). I also had to phone one of the senior staff for something and she asked me if I’d swap some Saturdays about to help cover the vacancies which suits me as well as it suits them so that was good. She told me I was ‘a model of employeesimship! You’re that good I’ve just made up a whole new word for you!’ which I said I would put on my CV and maybe write on my Library badge too. Infact we decided she should make up new words to reflect everyone’s skills and we could wear them like the stars on McDonalds staff uniform :lol:. If I ruled the world eh?! 😉 :lol:.
I bought home a Shaun the Sheep dvd so the children and I watched that while they had their tea including the little tutorial on making models which was one of the dvd extras. Scarlett is fully recovered from her stair tumble thankfully and is sporting just a small scab rather than any bruising or black eyes. We had a couple of chapters of Famous Five and I also brought home a story cd of one of the stories for them to listen to in the car so they can get their fix and let me off the hook a bit :).
Tonight I watched August Rush which I really enjoyed although Ady proclaimed it slushy (well duh, that’s what I liked about it :)) and went to bed. I also had a filling fall out of one of my teeth which has never happened to me before :shock:. I am hoping to get an appointment tomorrow to have it looked at as although I’ve pushed it back in I can feel it is a bit nervy and I’m going away this weekend and could well do without tooth ache. We were meeting up with EOFF but I am in a slightly antisocial mood for groups of children (lovely as they all are and fully accompanied by parents) and D and S were not fussed about missing it when I talked to them. So I guess the day could well be filled with dental stuff instead.
hoping the tooth does get sorted.
All us EOFFs could accompany you to the dentist for a bit of dentucation! We’d be very good honest
😆 yes I can just see us all crammed in there, two children letting the chair up and down, one tying the dentist to her seat with floss, another opertaing the drill on their sister, someone setting the xray machine on and off to create flashing lights and one of the little ones just sitting there covering themselves with the dinosaur stickers saying’I’m a cleanerteethasaurus’ 😆 Not sure what the adults could do but I’ve always fancied playing at receptionist for a while so I’d do that I think!
