Ady wanted to paint the garage and a garden wall today. To me these are unimportant tasks; they won’t affect the price or whether we get a tenant now but I guess plotting hosts on a google map could be viewed the same way and I really wanted to do that, so we all got on with whatever we felt like doing.
Ady did painting, the kids joined him for a while and then came in and sat with me. I contacted all of the Scotland hosts, created a new list of booked hosts from zones one and two and plotted them all on a map.
Ady cooked dinner and we all sat and chatted while eating; talking about how we might celebrate birthdays while we’re WWOOFing and plans for the Bye Then party aswell as thinking up things we’d like to do before we go.
Ady and Davies watched the second half of PotC3 while Tarly and I played some PvZ and messed about with googlemaps some more then we did Bad, Good, learnt today:
Davies:
Bad: burnt my hand while making a coffee for Daddy
Good: Enjoyed painting walls with Daddy
Learnt: The term ‘Davy Jones’ locker’ for dying at sea.
Scarlett:
Bad: Didn’t have enough pieces to build something out of Lego that I wanted to make.
Good: Played with chickens
Learnt: That paint is bad for chickens (fortunately not from experience, from Ady explaining that it would be best to keep the paint away from the chickens).
Ady
Bad: very achey from working hard this weekend
Good: Achieved everything I had planned for this weekend
Learnt: That masonry / exterior paint should be applied once the temperature is over 5 degrees.
Nic:
Bad: I accidentally deleted some emails
Good: I’ve emailed the zone 3 potentials hosts
Learnt: How to use google maps to create my maps and made a map of confirmed hosts.
We watched Countryfile and the kids went to bed. We watched TV and discussed whether I am ‘fun to be around’ as claimed in a message someone sent me :).
