I was supposed to be at Lola’s birth, guess it was rather dumb to then go on holiday and only come back within a week of her due date! Looking forward to meeting her later on today
In the meantime I thought I’d blog this as there will be no pictures from me, because my camera is stuck inside our camping trailer which we had to leave in Belgium (long story to follow for anyone who hasn’t been watching my Twitter!).
On the gardening front, we sowed various seeds a couple of weeks ago – sweetcorn, runner beans, and peppers.
Over the weekend, after watching the run on Sunday, we basically did not a lot at home. The girls did (yet another 
) big room tidy. One day they will learn that if they pick things up every day then they won’t have to do mega-tidies at weekends. Then again I sometimes prefer the ‘do nothing for ages then give it a blast’ approach too, so I shouldn’t complain too much I suppose. Meanwhile Joe and Steve worked on this meccano type metal kit, which kept them occupied for a while.
Steve watched too much snooker, and has traumatised me by shaving off his beard yesterday. Changes like that shouldn’t be allowed. I started a new ac:ww town and moved my (almost completed catalogue) character over there so that took up far too much time over the weekend as well.
We did have a nice walk up on Haldon yesterday with various friends. Abbie and Josiah took bikes, while Anna decided not to take hers because she wanted to help look after baby Josh.
Today has been hard work, I really don’t like bank holidays, they lull you into a false sense of holiday and then you have to snap back into normal work mode, not only that but I always spend all week thinking it’s a day earlier than it is! Might not feel so bad if I hadn’t been kept up by a certain snooker match last night
We had Robyn this morning so got some stuff done first thing and then took her out to Crealy as it’s ten times easier than staying at home! Had to bribe Joe with a muffin to get him to help look after her in the play areas but then he did an admirable job.
Home for lunch, said goodbye to Robyn, now having a lull (I needed one) before the girls come home from school.
We knew that Em was planning a Very Hungry Caterpillar party for Robyn, so when we spotted a caterpillar costume in town it was the perfect birthday present for her, along with a hungry caterpillar colouring book. The party was fab too More photos here if anyone’s interested.
