Was spent sat behind the laptop really. I even had a complaint registered from Davies about it! 🙄
The children continued their geomag game and extended it into some sort of going on holiday game. I did manage to do one of the 4 CVs I have to do which was fairly crap of me really as I had planned to get at least half of them done but never mind. I did clear my inbox 🙂 We did do some paper weaving for a while, I’d seen instructions for it on a website and thought it might be something they’d enjoy but Davies was more interested in using my paper cutting thingy than he was in weaving and Tarly was keener to make flower shaped patterns with her strips of paper than weave them together so we abandonded it in the end. They both had a go though and I was quite impressed with how quickly they picked up what they were supposed to be doing even if they didn’t actually do it!
Ady came home early bringing the Wallace & Gromit dvd which was released today (Curse of the Were Rabbit) which had been purchased with part of Tarly’s premium bond win. It was hard won actually having been used as the reward for all sorts of good behaviour over the last week or so including the long long ride home from Scotland on Thursday, not showing us all up at the wedding on Saturday and any other time we’ve needed to blackmail them lately! 😉 It was shoved in the dvd player as soon as it came in the house and watched with delight. The second disc has all sorts of stuff on it such as the making of the were rabbit character which Davies is hugely into as well so I think it was a wise investment all round really. 🙂
Davies pulled his late to sleep stunt again though and ended up coming back downstairs while we ate dinner and going up to bed around 10.30 when Ady went up. Not at all sure what that’s about but hopefully he can only manage two or three late nights before his body gives up and he’s asleep before 7 again!
I’ve had my grand scale veg peel and chop fix by preparing a stew to christen the slow cooker with tomorrow. I reckon it will do at least 3 dinners for us so that’s a good start to my menu planning for March.
Tomorrow we’re off to Ali’s for a post-Melrose gossip catch up and then I have my reading group in the evening. I have not even finished the book it bored me that much. I came close and it is not actually deliberate that I’ve not read it all as I did intend to work through it but I’ve simply not been able to bring myself to pick it up again since we got back from Melrose, particularly with the brightly coloured covers of Joyce’s chicklit calling me so much louder, so I’ll have to go along and explain precisely why I found it such a rubbish read I was not prepared to invest any more of my life reading the rest of it! Right, bed.
