My mate Tasha has taught me new words today 🙂
Everyone was up really early this morning – I woke with Ady’s alarm at 6am, Davies got up too, then Tarly did and I never got back to sleep so Ady brought me a cup of tea and I got up. The weather was crappy so our planned foraging day up on the downs with Tasha, Toby and Vinnie had to be postponed and I sent Tasha a text asking if she had a Plan B in mind. Her reply of ‘come to your house if you’re happy to have us? and what the hell are you doing up at this hour?!’ made me quite literally lol 🙂 😆
Ady went to work, the kids and I watched some ‘How it’s made’, I stuck some bread dough in the breadmaker and made some flapjacks and my mate Jay’s rather fabulous recipe for Chinese Chews (which are neither chinese or chewy) and used a chopped up mars bar for the ‘cup of something nice’ in the recipe then nipped out to collect Tasha, Toby and Vinnie.
Back at ours the older three played – inside and out, Vinnie joined them every so often between yabbering away at us in the the way only a two year old can. His current favourite phrase is ‘cool dudes do that’ which I love and may just make my own new catchphrase 😆 I heart Vinnie – toddler boys are ace :). Tasha had brought some crochet to do so I took the opportunity to gather a large amount of my wool stash together and go through it. I seperated it into two large bags to sell – one nasty acrylic, one nicer stuff and one bag to keep and knit into something to take with us. I decided on another blanket like my patchwork one on the basis it takes no skill, looks ace, is super warm, everyone I know wants one so it will be great to take with us, easy to unpick if I want to use the wool for something else and be both decorative and useful on The Adventure :).
So we chatted and knitted and crocheted, learnt about what cool dudes do and listened to the ducks quacking, the cockerels crowing and the quails doing their new sound which sounds rather like a Leslie Phillips ‘twit twoo’ type wolf whistle 😆 And ate, breadmaker bread, flapjacks and chinese chews :).
I ran them home, Davies and Scarlett did some room tidying and then spent ages connected on some DS game until Ady came home. They had tea while I finished going through all the potential hosts on the WWOOFing website. I now have about 30 to plot on our UK map before we can start contacting them with requests to come and WWOOF.
Ady continues to peruse campervans on ebay, I’m battling with itunes on one of the old laptops and we’re watching Heston do something mad with liquid nitrogen.
