Work for me this morning. We watched a video clip on the local paper’s website about a bloke who comes in the library quite often (and is a bit weird) who auditioned for Britains Got Talent. It made us laugh lots and we’re considering getting the music to play and dance to every morning before the library opens like those far east companies that make their employees do group yoga and aerobics before they start work for the day 😆
We also – not even sure why or how now – decided to all put a Mac infront of our surnames for the day. This had most comedic effect with the two Saturday assistants, one of whom’s name is Butcher and we thought MacButcher sounded very impressive and the other is McHugh so she became Macmchugh the noo. Ah the japes we get up to at that library 😆
Meanwhile Ady, Davies and Scarlett utterly failed to find the car park to meet YAC in so poor Davies didn’t get to go today 🙁 I felt really bad for him (not least because I am certain if I’d been around we’d have managed it) so he was a bit sad about that as he loves YAC and there wasn’t an April meeting so it’s been a couple of months.
When I got home they had eaten lunch,been bought a magazine each and were all out in the garden. I wanted to nip out for a couple of bits and assumed I’d be doing it alone but Scarlett decided to come with me and then at the last minute Davies did too so I had a full quota of children! We got the various things we wanted and came home. In town earlier this week Scarlett and I had seen some of the scraper foil pictures in an art shop and been talking about how they worked so when we saw some mini ones for a pound each I bought them one each today and they’ve been experimenting with those for a while.
I did some baking – gingerbread cavemen and cheese scones (which are to be cheesey boulders apparently) with occassional drifting through the kitchen help from the children. Davies spent some time outside with Ady, not sure what they were doing and Scarlett spent some time with the chickens.
I finished my baking and decorating and sat down with a cup of tea. The children joined me and we caught up on the last two weeks Primevals (Nightingale festival 2 weeks ago and camping last weekend meant we’d missed them both) on itvplayer so we were up to date ready for tonights. Ady and I had baths and then he went into the kitchen for his own mammoth cooking session of curry, bhajees, rice, bombay potatoes etc which is becomming a Saturday night institution with enough leftovers for another meal during the week.The children and I watched Primeval and Britiain’s Got Talent while I sewed up Scarlett’s costume and some furry bits to both their pairs of crocs to match and carried on with my squares knitting.
Curry was lovely, watched more rubbish TV and am looking forward to seeing friends tomorrow :).
