I am up early to get lots of washing done and out as the weather is good today and if I don’t get it done we will have no clothes for Peak Camp.

Then we have Forest school!

Then more washing. And dinner at some point.

You?

Not much really… Sister and nephew are coming over for lunch before we head off to Rhythm Time then if it’s not raining we’ll pop to the park before picking up Jakey from school… Also need to sort food, going to the shop and cleaning the chickens at some point too x

Unloading the shopping from the car, felt rough last night.
Then quick sort out of what is to put away and what is needed on holiday, list writing later methinks while dh is having his treatment at the MS centre, list writing and chasing after Saule who thinks it’s a perfect place to run around lol.

Then clothes packing this evening hopefully smile

I think we will be playing Lego today.  My children were given a box of old Lego from a friend yesterday it is now all over the dining room table and the living room floor!  We were supposed to be meeting up with friends today, but I don’t think we will make it out the house.

We’re about to take the dog out for a walk and find some flowers for a new vase I bought yesterday. Some lunch then off to a HE group this afternoon which I’m looking forwards to. Lots of thinking too…. Family situation not so positive,

But I am going to plant a herb garden and pot on some hanging basket tomatoes so feeling good about that!!

Hope everyone has as much sunshine as us at the mo, It’s beautiful!

It’s finally sunny again! So if I get all my boring jobs done (re tax, banking, and baby’s jabs) then I’ll pick some elderflowers to make champagne and tincture grin

having much needed time to myself as feeling rather down today. DH has been working abroad for 3 weeks and although he’s back on saturday am finding last few days with three children quite tough. Am reading my Green Parent magazine, drinking lots of tea and trying not to do housework!

oldest has gone off on a school trip, youngest has come down with chicken pox, have just cut the grass, watered the veg hung up the washing and now having lunch. going to try to get LO to sleep after lunch , have a quick tidy round, search for a book for the book swap, visit 2nd hand shop for a washing up bowl as the kitchen sink is blocked and can’t be fixed till the weekend.Pick up eldest from school and face the backlash from the letter we handed in this morning complaining about certain things.
maybe a run in the park and maybe go t my evening class to help with end of school exposition preparation

I’ve been remembering my dad who passed away a year ago today.  I have been tending to his grave today and in a while I’m going to his bowling club to see the tree they planted for him and a plaque with his name on.

Tonight I will light a candle, have a nice meal and remember the happy times.
