Had a very nice day today. 🙂
Lovely lie in til nearly 9am which is always pleasant, Ady did loads of ‘stuff’ (excuse me for having no inkling of what it was but it all involved garden tools and machinery :oops:) and the children pottered in the garden getting their clothes muddy, sandy and wet but enjoying it thoroughly.
I spent ages on the computer on various pursuits, got a bolognaise sauce cooking in the slow cooker for dinner and then they all came in for lunch. I gave the papier mache Wallace his first coat of paint ‘assisted’ by the children and then we headed over to Chris and Julie’s for a couple of hours this afternoon.
We had a really nice time there actually. They had all their garden toys out and it was a lovely afternoon weather-wise so the children had a great time, Ady and Chris took pictures and me and Julie chatted and gossiped. I also set her computer up with email, signed her up with a yahoo account and an ebay account. I tried to tell her about IM chatting but she looked scared and blank and said she’d start slow and work up to such joys at a later date! 🙂
We came home via Burger King as Davies had seen a TV advert saying their kids meal toys were Ice Age 2 ones and we pulled into the adjoining petrol station for Ady to fill up his car only to realise he had a puncture. So the children sat in the car as it was jacked up and down and ate their BK while me and Ady both got greasy streaks on our hands and jeans changing the wheel.
We came home and Ady bathed the children while I dashed up to Sainsburys to get next week’s food shopping, bumping into my Mum whilst there so arranging to see them tomorrow some time. I did another coat of paint on Wallace and the children took forever to go to sleep so we taped Dr Who and have just watched it whilst eating dinner. Am now watching the repeat of last night’s Green Wing which I missed in favour of Second Coming.
Hope the weather is as lovely as this for next weekend too. 🙂
I just waiting for the ‘Wallace and Gromit HE curriculum’
