I can catch the moon in my hands…

Ady has been numero uno parento today whilst I have done being Nicola and then swanning around 🙂

The children had Wildlife Explorers this morning – Scarlett first, which gives Davies and Ady an hour alone to look around the reserve, then Davies has 2 1/2 hours in his session which Ady and Scarlett spend going round the reserve and frequenting the coffee shop. Apparently they both watched a film about endangered species in their sessions and they all did some photography around the reserve which I have yet to see the results of.

I had a nice morning at work – no Nightmare Colleague, just an enjoyable morning with several of my favourite colleagues including the Saturday Assistants who I like a lot. I had an hour of sorting out the Reading Groups folder whilst jibber-jabbering with J, mostly about Derren Brown and hypnosis, then tea break, followed by an hour on the desk where I had hardly any enquiries and finally an hour of shelving.

I had an hour at home all to myself which I used to eat lunch, drink a cup of tea, check my emails and then did some baking as there was no defrosted bread for the kids’ lunch so I made some cheese scones and flapjacks to greet them and then some chocolate orange cupcakes to use up the eggs we had.

The others arrived home and we all watched some Doctor Who before it was time for me to head out again. The others spent the time I was away having baths and eating tea (children). I picked up Rose, my Not-Swinger friend and we went to see an afternoon screening of Fame. I really enjoyed it; it was fairly bleak in places, had no storyline at all and there was rather a lack of spilling out onto the street and dancing on top of taxis but there was plenty of singing and dancing and I thought it had more going for it than the second and third HSM films did.

Rose and I walked back to my car chatting and waited for her husband to pick up her, then I came home via Sainsburys. The others were watching Autumnwatch which I finished watching with them, then had a quick bath while they all watched The Cube. The kids and I watched X Factor together while Ady cooked dinner and very irresponsibly we let them stay up til about 1030pm before finally chasing them off to bed.
