That Sunday feeling…

It’s been a very long day today, we seem to have had loads of stuff crammed into it.

Scarlett ended up in our bed with a bad dream in the night and around 5am when I woke to find her sleeping on my head – snoring 🙄 – I decided I’d make use of her empty bed instead so I decamped there.

We were all up by about 8.30am and decided to get out early to go car boot sale hunting but somehow we didn’t make it out until nearly 10.30am so we didn’t bother and went over to Chris and Julie’s straight away instead. Ady had a yen to go to Goodwood with a picnic which we’d hoped to persuade C & J to join us on but they remained unmoved so we stayed with them for a couple of hours and then we headed off to Goodwood. We ate our picnic in the cold and had a wander round but there was no racing going on so we gave up on the idea and went to my parents instead. We did call into Tangmere Aviation museum and had a look round some of the outdoor planes and Ady spent some time infusing the children with his enthusiasm for all thing aviation.

At my parents I happily ignored the children and read more of Catcher in the Rye – reserving judgement thus far but will blog when I’ve finished it… Dad and Ady watched the football and Mum ran around after the children with much sighing and eye rolling all of which I happily pretended not to hear. 🙂 She also fed them some tea so we stayed to watch the second half of the match and came home to put them to bed.

So lots of family stuff, lots of fresh air and lots of enjoying being the one to say ‘well she is only three’ and ‘yeah I know, he does it all the time’ to other people having to sort out the children instead of me. Love it! 🙂

Can hardly wait for tomorrow and am quelling the desire to dash about shrieking in a girlish manner as we have a gathering of some of my most very favourite people here so I don’t expect to be around much in blogland for a couple of days. Joyce, you will be missed 🙁
