All Sorts

February 22nd, 2006 by Sarah

The girls have spent the day at Animation Allsorts, another Animated Exeter activity. They went with Caitlin and Riona, and seem to have enjoyed the first day immensely – as I picked them up I was shown an array of plasticine models plus backdrops to animate them against; they think that as well as finishing the animation they will get to add sounds tomorrow.

After dropping them there, Joe and I spent an hour at the Museum, playing with the stuff in one of their boxes. Josiah didn’t want to bother looking around at all but he’s been begging me to do a box every time we’ve been in the museum recently, so it was nice to indulge him (the rest of us have got a bit bored of them!) and he really enjoyed himself.

Then we pootled around doing various bits – had our photo taken for some newspaper editorial about the new garage, stopped and bought more hamster supplies, then eventually came home for lunch. Faffed around here for a bit packing stuff into boxes so that we can move stuff around more easily between our downstairs rooms. Josiah played with Mollie, Steve popped home to measure various things, and then it was time to go and pick the girls up again!

If anyone’s interested, this is the new sofa which we are waiting for with bated breath ;) I’m still glad we got rid of the old ones early though, as it’s given us plenty of space to work in. Tonight’s job is to move everything around between the two living areas and work out what we want in each room, then Steve has the fun job of rewiring it all accordingly. I think it will work well, essentially the front room will become more of a film/music room and the back room will be more of a tv/games room. Front room his domain, back room mine … or so we’d both like to think ;)

    Oh Sarah, Sarah … I’m disappointed … thought you of all people would have spelt BATED properly …

  2. Sarah Says:

    damn damn damn! I’ve always thought it was baited, you know!

  3. Joyce Says:

    I was so pleased to discover I remembered why is was bated.

  4. Alison Says:

    Why on earth would one bait one’s breath? To lure a sofa towards one? ;-) Joyce, I expect you went to school when these things were considered important ;-)

  5. Merry Says:

    I think i DID think that was what it meant!

    Enlighten me Joyce, why is it bated?

  6. Sarah Says:

    Merry, click on BATED in Alison’s first comment …

  7. Lin Says:

    I’m totally confused! (I know that doesn’t take much!). Sarah has spelt it right, hasn’t she?

    Lx
    (Hastily checking comment through the spellchecker in case of any spelling mistacks)

  8. Sarah Says:

    I changed it when Alison pointed it out, Lin!

  9. Neil Says:

    At the Animation things have they met an animator from Spain called Jordi?

    Sarah,
    You are not alone in not being able to spell bated. Ruth can’t spell reek which is somewhat easier!
