Today I have:
Knitted. One front and one sleeve and most of a second sleeve of a jumper. I’ve now decided it’s not what I want so tomorrow I’ll be unpicking it all again. For the second time. Third time lucky maybe.
Got lots of washing processed. I even hung some outside for a while. It was never going to dry out there but it did air nicely before coming back indoors to go over the radiators.
Yes, radiators :).
Made breakfast, lunch and tea for the kids.
Turned the eggs in the incubator three times – they are due to hatch just before you come down Mich, so fluffy little baby chicks as an additional bonus for your visit :).
Sat and drank tea and chatted with my Dad for a couple of hours.
Let the chickens out, fed them, collected an egg from their house, put them away again.
And that’s about it really. I have drunk lots and lots of tea and basked in the warmth of central heating and enjoyed a very deep, very hot bubble bath that I even topped up once with more hot water. It was bliss :).
Davies and Scarlett have done lots of DSing, loads of drawing (and a fair bit of writing. Scarlett has learnt to write ‘Davies’ and Davies has been doing loads of writing in speech bubbles and titles of the various Star Wars comic strip type stories he’s been doing. He sort of plays as he draws narrating and bringing the picture to life with sound effects and movement lines on the page), Davies made a R2D2 for his bedroom door, they watched the new Ben 10 series and had a bath themselves.
I’d intentionally left this week fairly empty as I enjoy the quiet of no activties for half term, don’t want to be out and about with all the school children and also didn’t know when we might need to be home for the plumber. However tomorrow I want to be a bit more productive and finish off the two WAA activities we’ve all but done but need to write up and plan in some more detail with the kids the next one which takes in 3 activities in one but requires some coordination.
“radiators :).” and “basked in the warmth of central heating and enjoyed a very deep, very hot bubble bath that I even topped up once with more hot water. It was bliss :).”
Bit tragic reading your blog when you’ve already BKd Boiler woes :-(.
Looking forward to a chicktastic weekend :-). Heating or no heating ;-).
