next week’s plan
Well, it didn’t seem lke much point to get back into the routine for 1 week before we scoot off to NicCamp so instead we are going to work through the Drawing wtih Children book, do some music, do baking and generally fill the week as productively as I can manage. Music tends to get forgotten here which is a shame really as when she does try she’s progressing nicely at the violin. then again, I think ther’s a case of needing to lead by example here, I don’t practice enough either! If the weather is good we may go into the forest. We are commited to Jungle Jims on Wednesday but she also wants to go just with me on Tuesday, then there’s Rainbows (Wednesday pm), swimming (Thursday after lunch) and music group practice (Friday evening) and at some point I will need to shop otherwise baking ingredients will be in short supply and there won’t be any cheap white socks for the Rainbows to make into sock puppets. And before anyone tells me you are supposed to recycle old socks, I know but we don’t have any worn out ones at the moment and by getting white ones they can use felt pens rather than me needing to buy loads of bits for them to stick on.
I will also be trying to sort out the house a bit as it’s slipped rather badly and hopefully grub out all the weeds from the lavender bed so that I can bung in the daffodil bulbs before it’s too late. There may also be mass leaf gathering and leaf bin filling (especially if we manage to get into the forest!) as our solid clay garden apreciates the nice loam that results from all those leaves left to rot for a year or so then liberally mulched over all the beds.
So I shall be ready for a rest by the time I get to NicCamps and therefore apologies right now in case I am foul tempered.
