“No school today then?”
I do get bored of this one you know…. not least because it’s always the same check out operator at Asda that asks us, and then proceeds to ask us exactly the same follow up questions as before (who regulates you, where do you get your curriculum from, are you a teacher then, do you have to do exams, all the usual crap) Ho Hum.
We had a slow morning yesterday, by which I mean, she woke up, decided she was still tired and went back to sleep until 10! Meanwhile I sneaked out into the garden hammock with my CD player and a good audio book. Bliss.
Shopping seemed to be a bit random and we ended up with a lot of clothing, stuff for camping and so on but I’m not sure about food…. really should learn to take a list.
Aprilia decided it was too hot to be outside so she Moshi Monstered and did various other edutainment activities and watched some TV. Meanwhile I also edutained myself as a diversion from trying to sort out the car ready for the weekend
I think, if I can excavate it, we will take the Hobbit Hole even though I would really really like to use the Outwell at some point and justify the money we spent on it. Trouble is, the Outwell is really just a weekender tent, it was bought on Duke’s specifications of "something smaller but I still want to be able to stand up in it" so it’s got limited living space and no space for the loo. It’s a lot of money for something that will get very little use what with Duke rarely being with us on short trips and the little Sigma being perfectly acceptable for just A and me for weekending if catering is being sorted communally (wouldn’t fancy cooking in the Sigma….. I know I’m adventurous but I’m not actually qutie taht daft!)
It was Kung Fu in the evening which was a pleasant end to the day - a bit warm perhaps, but pleasant. I’m enjoying the Thursday nights, it’s an almost decadent thing, doing something just for me, without a single child in sight….
