just another morning here

but I’m blogging

After saying goodbye to Ros, we set about getting ready to entertain more internet friends who were dropping by for lunch, while en route to Cornwall. Rain and heavy traffic meant they were much later than expected, so we didn’t have much time together (although Steve & I had the chance to sit down and read Devon Life together – he bought it in Sainsbury’s so he could drool over big country houses ) – will have to arrange another visit sometime.

As they left the piano teacher arrived, so she was here for a while, and it was still raining, so the rest of us emptied the lego out all over the floor and spent the rest of the afternoon building spaceships (Steve), houses for the astronauts to live in (the girls), and a digger + a mini rocket (Joe). It felt lovely just to play together. Of course it all fell apart when two children decided they wanted the same piece of lego and one of them ended up being sent to their room when fights broke out, but hey ho.

Tea, then X Factor, which I still love, sad though it is. And Casualty will follow shortly, if I can manage to tear Steve away from Cat Deeley’s dress Should be doing ironing as well but I’ve abandoned it until another day. Quite which day I don’t know, but there we are.
