Week 12 – 20–26 March 2023

40

This week The Little Mister had hos Grade 2 violin exam – he has been practicing hard for weeks. I think he was a little bit wobbly so we will see if he has passed. We promised him that if he worked hard he could have a treat and he requested a meal out at China Red so we took him and his sister and our lovely friend Kayleigh out. It was a delicious meal.

Eliza went to Cubs this week and they had an Eygptian night so they all dressed up – her friend James went as a Sphinx which really made me laugh.

We also had parents evenings and both kids are doing really well. The Little Miss’ teacher waxed lyrical about hos marvellous she was and how helpful, compliant etc she was at school. Of course when we got in the car she refused to get out of the front seat and was shouting her head off. Oh! The irony!

I also went to the Eisteddfod exhibition and took a pic of my friend Elise’s gorgeous embroidery, I went to two partied on Saturday night and The Mister took a photo of my which my sister described as ‘making me look a member of the case of Willow’.

On Saturday morning I went to weights and worked hard and The Little Miss and I have matching shoes. A good week.

Week 11 – 13 – 19 March 2023

37

This has been a busy week but one full of good things.

The Little Miss took part in the Eisteddfod and she recited a poem – she did brilliantly and had lovely, kind comments from the adjudicator

The weather was good enough to have lunch in the garden at the weekend and we had a handsome, but stupid, male pheasant visiting the garden.

On Saturday I managed a fab cycle, swim at Horseshoe Pool with my friend Emma and then a trip to church for a green event which was lovely. So many people to catch up with.

The weekend ended with Mothering Sunday. Always a day of mixed emotions but one in which my sister and I talked a little about Mum whilst going out for dinner and visiting her grave with the children.

We have so many blessings and so much to be grateful for.

Week 10 – 6 – 12 March 2023

23

The week started with a nasty tummy bug for me and a day in bed accompanied by remaining two fur-balls. The Mister and I also had to go and collect our lovely Betty cat and bury her. There was some comedy moments when we got her back home and realised that she was absolutely frozen solid so that hole had been extended a little before burial could be completed. It shouldn’t have been so funny but it was a little bit Monty-Pythonesque.

The week has consisted of jigsaw puzzles, sewing on Cubs badges, music centre and a Cubs football tournament. We had Grade 2 music practice every morning and some tantrums over this but mostly it was a standard week.

I also went to a ladies weights class, and bought new leggings which made me happy and it was International Woman’s Day and I wore a tiara in the office.

I ended the week by having a run in with our granite fence post. The wall won.

Week 9 – 27 February – 5 March 2023

8It has been an incredibly busy week.

On Thursday I had to go into work really early as I had to do a report for court but the plus side is that I got to leave early and went to a charity afternoon tea. I was easily one of the youngest person there and I was sat at a table with my lovely aunt and her fabulous friends. It was great fun.

On Friday evening The Little Mister had Cubs and they went climbing and did archery. The Little Miss also started at a different Cubs troop. She had a fabulous time and there were a lot of people there from her class.

22At the weekend The Little Miss participated in her first gala. On the Saturday she came joint second for her age with her friend and on the Sunday she got two silver and two bronze medals. She thoroughly enjoyed it and she was really competitive.

We also squeezed in a family concert which was great fun… although The Little Miss had a nap half way through!

The saddest thing this week was that our lovely pussy cat Betty was hit by a car and her injuries were too significant for her to survive and we had to have her put to sleep. I wept buckets when I had to make the decision, altough I am quite sure we made the rights decision. I will miss her a lot. She was the cat who would always sit next to me, or one me, when I was watching TV and she would be found snuggling up with the children over night. For such a small cat she has left a huge hole in our life.

Week 8 – 20-26 February 2023

2021

22Half term week and I have been off work for three days which has been lovely. Generally I have felt absolutely knackered but it has been good to have some time with the kids.

This week they have been at a holiday club which does swimming, cycling and other sports, They have had a fantastic time as ever, and their cycling skills are improving loads and they are getting much more confident on the road. Thank goodness!

The kids also had a climbing session with an instructor and my friend Emma and I managed a quick swim at Port Soif with my cousin Beccy. It was freezing but lovely.

We also went to visit my lovely Auntie Josie who was 81 and Eliza made her this fabulous card.
