Lisa sent this picture over of Iona and Katy, at school.
Martha loses a tooth
This is Martha's tooth, before she bravely pulled it out herself. I hope the tooth fairy remembers to visit tonight!
Morning Walk
Martha and Katy stayed with Dave, last night. I had another bad night's sleep, but was able to have a late sleep and a potter. I managed to do a bit of DIY - a job that I have been meaning to do for a couple of years. I have glued the door handles to all the bedrooms. I also rearranged two cupboards in the kitchen, so that I can put all my healthy teas in one cupboard, and fit my glasses and cups into another cupboard. I go for my walk around the meadows. I bump into Ann from school, and an old mum friend, who had not heard my news.
I took a picture of what was a giant blackberry bush, that has now turned into a plateau of lily looking convolvulus or bindweed (thanks Cherry).
Into bed for a sleep, and woken by Martha and Katy coming home.
Beautiful day in the park
We meet Anna and Sasha in the park. Martha and Sasha learn a poem together and make up moves for it. They will perform this in school on Wednesday. It is hilarious. We have a squabble over our game of rounders, and we abandon the game. Katy's friend Ella joins us when we get home, and we all enjoy a barbecue in the garden. It was only a sausage in a bread roll and a chocolate banana, but the girls all loved it. It sounds like a busy afternoon, but mostly, I had to do nothing because Martha and Katy were both engrossed in playing with their friend. It is a strange balance of dynamics - add a couple of friends and mum has a good long rest.
Strictly come dancing night in front of the TV
We have had a summer's day, and we are ending it with winter TV.
May the weather continue ...
love Sarah xxxx
