just another morning here

I hope we’ve managed to recharge some batteries over the weekend; Abbie and Josiah have had a restful time, at least. Friday was a day off for Steve and I, and we had a pleasant day doing some work things together, but also faffing around with putting things on shelves, deciding what else to put on shelves, and driving around the city a lot. On Friday night the children all went to their kids’ club and Steve & I snatched dinner out at our favourite restaurant, fabulous value at that time of night.

On Saturday Anna and I went off to orchestra, the others stayed behind and didn’t do very much at all. Well, Steve fitted a racing harness into his Silly Car, and got the bikes ready for the afternoon, but the kids didn’t do anything more than watch tv and play games!

After lunch we went out for a walk/bike ride on the Quay which was windy but lots of fun.

Anna went for a sleepover with Caitlin in the evening; the rest of us had dinner and watched DVDs.

Today the girls and I went to church while Steve and Joe went to Sainsbury’s. Anna and Abbie got certificates for their bible-book-order learning which they are very proud of. Josiah bought some much-needed pyjamas in Sainsbury’s and liked them so much that he changed into them.

We met up at home and walked through the park, kicking and chucking leaves around on the way, for lunch with an elderly friend from church who cooks the most fantastic roast dinners. Had a lovely time with him, he has loads of interesting things around the house from carnivorous plants to insect collections, as well as plenty of toys for children. He either didn’t notice that Josiah was wearing pyjamas, or was too polite to comment

We left there in time to come home for another friend who was meant to be coming round for tea, but she couldn’t make it after all, so we watched Return of the Jedi and last night’s X Factor, snatching a bite of tea in the adverts! Have ended the weekend with an early night all round, I’m off to read my book
