Motorised.

Oh blissful day off. How lovely when I woke up and pretty much immediately my thoughts are ‘what’s on, what time do I have to be somewhere’ and when it is ahh day off, not until the school run, I sink back into my pillows gratefully Smile Only for a bit though then I get itchy to be up and at it!
Anne texted with the prompt just as I was leaving for the school run so I thought I might have a good look for something unusual rather than just the stuff around the house that I have relied on lately.
Anyway it started tipping down again so I didn’t! So some random pics of today. Someone, Jo I think wished that my empty candle was replenished. It is tonight and now lit.

I had a busy morning shopping and then had a nap, then roasted a chicken with baked potatoes and a pea, mint and avocado salad with bacon to try and tempt mum’s appetite, it worked and she said she felt better for it. I also had to scrub my Ali, he had forest school this afternoon and was muddy, muddy, made me happy to see. I could have a bit of a rant about what I am going to call ‘welly boot gate’ in which several parents and one teacher assistant made a mountain out of a molehill about this but honestly you would just leave. Suffice to say I think Forest School is brilliant, outdoor learning at it’s best and mud is good. I hope you get me!

Here is said Ali, with mud upon his chops and with his pink feather that he found on the scavenger hunt Smile
And I must show you the dinner plate I made up for Lauren before…

Tomato Ketchup! It doesn’t matter how good the gravy/jus is they just want to add ketchup! Yuk.
Anyway, back to motorised.
My oh so loved eclips doing it’s thing.
