I managed to organise a night out; and then forget about it. (I didn't really forget - just thought it was a week later than I had actually arranged) Luckily someone texted me to check the details; and quite a few people had cancelled at the last minute - so that meant that a re-scheduling was a good option!
I also managed to send a group text round for another night I had organised with the wrong information on it about the venue we were meeting. Again disaster was averted in time; because of a chance conversation I had.
So the end of term was on Tuesday; and I have had two days off work in which to start winding up the ball of wall that had started to roll down the hill at quite a pace!
Last weekend started with torrential rainstorms and huge thunder storms; so we spent much of the day in doors; trying to do some tidying and sorting. For me a weekend at home; is a great excuse for getting my pinny on and my pans out!
Jam on Friday; Chutney on Sunday; and a couple of cakes thrown into the mix as well.
This week; we have had the most glorious weather. Hotter days than we have had for a very long time. Yesterday I was looking after two extra children for the day. We went to Lyme Park for a picnic. It felt like a return to the summers of my youth. I sat on the bank of a stream for about 2 hours; while the children paddled and climbed trees. They couldn't have been happier; I couldn't have been more relaxed!
My 6 YO wanted to go back to Afflecks Palace today; to buy a fairy dust necklace that she had spotted at half term. It was a hot day for being in the city; but we managed to visit a few shops and stock up on holiday clothes and books.
We have spent this evening having a lovely meal in a friend's garden. It was such a beautiful evening that we completely lost track of time. The girls were happily trampolining and playing with rabbits until 930!
Shame that I am back at work tomorrow; I am sure the girls will have a lovely time with their friends tomorrow!
