I would have donned a bee outfit and been all stripey black and yellow with all the busyness I buzzed with. But of course that would be mad, who knows in advance what the day is going to pan out like? What if I’d worn a stripey outfit and a pair of those bouncy shapes on springs attached to a headband to look like bees antenna and then all the engagements that kept me so busy had been cancelled at the last minute? What then eh? I’d have looked pretty bloody silly wearing yellow which is so not my colour wouldn’t I? 😆
Ady’s car is doing all sorts of funny things with lights lit up on the dashboard indicating it’s imminent death so it is at the garage (another of those times we are truly pleased to be running a company car rather than caring at all about the potential cost of fixing it.) and he worked from home this morning before taking my car to go to college this afternoon.
First thing this morning Davies and I made another film – details of that over on monstermovies to save me going over it again. Then came the saga of the BT man which had us occupied for ages. They also watched The Christmas Carol on dvd which spawned several conversations. After making the film Davies and Scarlett got engrossed in one of their games. It involved a pile of cuddly toys, the foam blocks, some foam beads, the toy scales and a calculator. Oh, and lots of shouting :lol:.
We had lunch, I made some flapjacks inspired by them at MM yesterday, Ady went off to college and Lucy and Rebecca arrived. For some reason the three of them didn’t manage to play together although they all played together in various twosomes but by the end Davies and Scarlett were both getting rowdier and squabbling with each other so I sent them both to their rooms to calm down a bit while I finally finished a conversation with Lucy and said goodbye to her. We had Mel, Liam and Lily coming after school for a play and tea and I needed them to just calm down a bit before they arrived otherwise it would have been utter bedlam. They did indeed calm down and were playing quite happily with the pretend food and the till when they got here.
A variety of playing went on including dressing up, running around and generally being very noisy while Mel and I endeavoured to chat. The children were all fed and disappeared off to play again, with them finally leaving about ten minutes before I needed to leave for book group.
Book group was good tonight, I was introduced to the couple of staff working as the newest member of the team. There were only six of us tonight and only three of us had even finished the book (I was not one of them :oops:) but it was a really nice meeting with lots of general chatter. We’ve got an interesting looking book for this month and have chosen two short books to read in December, one of which is ‘The five people you meet in Heaven’ which I read earlier this year and all but one of us have read already but agreed would be a book we’d like to discuss, the second is ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’ which I am also looking forward to reading.
You really are quite mad 🙂
