Quick Catch Up
We had a lovely holiday weekend but now A is back at work the days seem a lot longer and harder. Or maybe it’s the rain that is making things dreary!
On Monday we went to Felbrigg Hall near Cromer and arrived before the house, gardens and crucially the cafe (!) were open. We did a cache in the woods there and had a walk around, then stayed for an early lunch. We scrummaged around to pay for it because they didn’t take cards - aarghhh… can’t be doing with these backward places! Afterwards we went to Cromer and walked along the front and on the beach for an hour and got blown away. It was lovely to be out though. We hit the bank holiday traffic on the way home unfortunately, even though we drove home about 2pm.
Yesterday I woke up still very tired and we had quite a shouty morning. Then M escaped to play with the lad next door and stayed there all afternoon. After a couple of hours I knocked to check he was being no trouble and the neighbours were still happy to have him but they said they were so I left him there. He came home very pink cheeked and a bit hyped from playing on the PS2 and computer games all afternoon. He was full of having watched the first part of Star Wars 3 too, which we hadn’t let him see yet. Oh well… L and I had a quiet afternoon but he was a bit miserable because his top tooth was coming through.
Today all the school kids have gone back. This morning we continued a mini rhino project (following on from reading the Just So Stories rhino tale yesterday) and M made a poster. He has the beginnings of fundraising plans to send money to a Save the Rhino appeal but we’ll see if they come to anything. He was quite funny telling me there are “3 classic ways to fundraise - bake cookies and sell them, hold a car wash or run a lemonade stand” - not sure where he gets these ideas from but it made me smile! He’s also played on the Lego website and on Neopets. L has mooched about and followed M and I around depending on who was doing what. This afternoon we’ve been out to the library and supermarket and called in a garden centre on the way back to get some little pots so I could pot on my pepper plants. L slept when we came home so I got on with potting on and M did some maths in the front room, measuring and estimating.
Right, could write more but The Apprentice is about to start!
