just another morning here

If I am lucky the weekend might spice things up a bit round here but for now it’s boring; work and school stop play.

Well, I say that, but it’s not entirely true Last weekend Anna and I had a fab couple of hours trawling charity shops to try and put together an outfit for a murder mystery party she is going to tonight; photos may be added later if she lets me! Her social life is definitely better than mine at the moment which is fairly worrying, although perhaps normal? She’s generally busy enjoying music and school in that order – we’ve been hearing lots about a spelling competition recently, clearly sold to the children with the London final round in mind but who knows whether her team will get that far.

Abbie had a school trip to the Eden Project on Thursday, so that was a long day, but probably a highlight of the week for her. Always more fun to go to these places with your friends than with your parents

Joe’s been his usual self; totally stroppy at home yet amazingly wonderful in other places – the library challenge ‘thank you’ certificate at school and then a TKD class award following his grading last weekend. Proud of him despite everything!

All fine in Rainbow Class (my school), a nice week including a jaunt to the supermarket to buy our own lunch one day, some fancy tile making in our art session – I made one too but then one of the children managed to step on it before it was dry!

Steve’s been busy at work; the workshop has re-opened which is fantastic Terry is much better, hoping to get an apprentice in very soon to do all the heavy things which he can’t do at present. Busy means tired, but busy is way, way better than quiet so I’m not complaining. Up early because it’s the end of the month and there are invoices to be completed before the day is out, so that means a few extra hours’ work needed.

We’ve managed to fit in some cake baking, geomag building, swimming with kids’ club, collaborative tile mosaic (replacing the one that got wrecked at school!), film watching (St. Trinian’s, The Darjeeling Ltd), all the usual music/swimming/TKD lessons plus orchestra, no wonder there isn’t much time to blog. Of course any blogging time that there is, is better used playing ACCF
