Today was supposed to be the day Tasha and I did the craft fair. So I’d kept the day free for all that last minute stuff (read doing everything) but then it got postponed.
So Tasha and I decided to get together anyway.
First thing I did some washing sorting, made some cookies and was generally quite efficient while the kids watched BabyTV which they love in the same way I love Big Cook Little Cook and spend most of the time laughing hystericaly at and did some DSing.
We headed off to Tasha’s at 11ish and the kids all disappeared upstairs only reappearing once to be fed. Scarlett came down for a while and tolerated Vinnie stroking her hair (he loves her :)) and talked at Tasha and I for a bit (not a typo she genuinely does talk at you rather than to you ;)) but then went back to the boys upstairs again.
Tasha and I chatted about all sorts of things including crafting, mothers and home education. And I drank lots of tea.
Back home we inspected a dead dove that had been caught and killed and mostly eaten by something in the garden (Ady has since disposed of it properly). Scarlett said it was ‘sad but very interesting’ :lol:, Tarly checked for eggs – we’re getting a steady 3 a day most days which is pretty good from 7 hens who are supposed to lay 2-3 each a week although more would be very welcome :).
The kids had tea and then we went to the allotment to meet Ady. I’ve blogged about that over on selfsuffish but it was lovely up there and had me really looking forward to all the long summer evenings ahead :).
Back home I made pastry and quiches – cheese and bacon for our dinner and a couple of red onion and cheese for the party. Had a falling out, making up and chat with Tarly about consequences to actions – she’d had a couple of incidents of not listening to what she was being asked today and being deliberately disobedient so we chatted about that and how small actions can have big consequences.
Ady and I had dinner and watched the last of a series about allotments we had recorded. And now, I’m very ready for bed!
