Still summer in April

The weather today was glorious, so much so that we couldn’t waste it doing nothing. I spent part of the morning cleaning the house while Nick did prep and the boys played outside, then we went into town for lunch and for the boys to swim in the pool. It was a bit of a treat for them to swim in the pool, I guess, after all the sea swimming. They much prefer the pool. Aaron says it’s because it doesn’t hurt his wounds as much (he has wounds?) and it’s smaller and there are more children to play with. Nick and I left them there and went to buy lunch which we ate poolside. There are several new picnic-style table-and-chair pieces around the pool which look good and serve their purpose well. In the afternoon I did more housework – even going so far as to mop the kitchen floor – and Nick had a guitar lesson with a 12-year-old, whose mom I chatted with while the lesson was on. The boys disappeared into the Piccolo hinterland again until supper time.

And here's Charlotte: she's developed an affinity for Nick's shoes, either to sleep in or simply to play with. Such a darling!
