Day 15 – Hello Again!

Well with the falling down the stairs and the writing of the essay thing going on I just didn’t blog. But, as I promised a month of blogging I’ll just have to switch that to a 30 day thing rather than the whole month of June.
So we finally got to Wacky Warehouse! However, before that [...]

Day 14 – Belated Friday 13th?

‘Twas not a good day! I developed an ear infection late on Friday and it was terrible through the night, then when I got up on Saturday morning I fell down the stairs!! I was near the bottom, but still, there was enough bruising for sitting down or moving to be a miserable affair.
As you [...]

Day 13 – Friday the 13th!

It was only unlucky for one of us!
So on a Friday Friend T and I usually take the boys to Wacky Warehouse, but Friend T’s partner needed the car today so we went for an adventure instead. We tried Diamond Park, which was shut again because there’d been a bit of rain yesterday. G said [...]

Day 12 – An even more normal day!

So normal in fact that I haven’t even taken any photos! I couldn’t capture G just laying in the garden looking up at the trees without spoiling his serene moment, nor could I capture him holding up two small weeds, looking through the living room window and saying, “can I ‘ave a pound then?”
So today’s [...]

Day 12 – A Normal Day

G and I watched Big Brother this morning! He likes it, and I think it’s a good teaching tool to talk about the way people act, emotions, motivations etc. Plus there’s a blind guy on it this year and he’s been curious about blind people because of the signs that say guide dogs allowed in [...]

Day 10 – A New Park

So Friend T and I went to a new, lovely, park today, Boultham Park (I think that’s how it’s spelt, I think it also might be pronounced Bootem, maybe).

We didn’t explore it all of course, so there’s still another side of the lake and some wooded areas to look around, but what we did see [...]

Day 9 – Lobster Face!

Another scorcher! And FP just pointed out that I have a lobster face! I did skimp on the sunscreen on the face as it feels too thick, didn’t expect to burn though!
Anyway, G woke up this morning at 5:45am, but that still meant he’d had 12 hours sleep! He was all puffy around the eyes [...]

Day 8 – A Spur of the Moment Adventure

So I let FP have a nice long lie in again (hay fever disturbs your sleep) so it meant we would miss church, although, as it happened we ended up in Lincoln Cathedral just as communion was starting so I went and took it there.

Anyway, back to chronological events!
So FP got up and was planning [...]

Day 7 – A Rainy Day in Town

Well, the original plan for today was FP taking G to the nature park and then maybe go into town, and I would get my hair cut and have some me time. But it was rainy, and I had a lazy morning so wouldn’t be able to get to the hairdresser’s when it opened and [...]

Day 6 – Double Trouble

We usually do Wacky Warehouse on a Friday but Friend T had to do something, so I volunteered to look after her son, who shall henceforth be knows as Blue (eyes). I did have a moment of panic! I’ve never actually looked after someone else’s child before, well, not outside of a daycare setting. Anyway, [...]
