Things we have done today

Davies has: tidied his bedroom including clearing out the void underneath his bed. He created three piles; one for landfill, one for recycling and one for sale. I’m not sure what happened to the rest of the contents and suspect the worst is not yet over in terms of the kids bedrooms but he made a huge effort, took some tough decisions about getting rid of things and I was in no fit state to check or be mean.

Davies also did some drawing, made me a lovely cup of tea 🙂 , played with the geomags and made an animation with some plasticine ducks and speech bubbles saying ‘quack’.

Scarlett has: painted several pictures, watched various wildlife and nature documentaries, tidied her room up, coughed, drunk the cup of tea Davies made her when he made mine and then made her and I a second cup. Loving having tea-making babies :). Scarlett also played with the geomags and helped with the animation.

I have blogged, read a chunk of my current book which I’m really enjoying and learning lots from. I’ve knitted (I’m making a bag, done the front and back, now knitting the gusset. Suspect that is the first time in my life I have ever used the word gusset ;)), drunk plenty of tea, hung a wash out and put another one on, chopped some firewood and lit a fire, photographed and listed 14 items on ebay, listed some videoes that didn’t sell on ebay or in the local free ad paper on freecycle and put them outside for someone to collect (which they did), confirmed a couple of WOOFing bookings bringing us to complete for zone one. Oh and coughed.

I’ve felt pretty rough today, we were supposed to be at the first of two film week screening – Astrobot. But the kids tell me they have seen it on dvd already and although we were all up in time I just didn’t feel up to the driving or sitting through it. Saved on petrol money too :). We do have another booked on Thursday which we’ve not seen and are looking forward to seeing. Tomorrow is a pretty busy day with a Home Ed trip in the morning, swimming in the afternoon and Book Group in the evening. I might have to dip out of swimming if I’m still rough as climbing upstairs has done me in today so I think swimming 90 lengths might be a bit ambitious…
