8 weeks left

Caught up on a bunch of stuff today – fixed a toy, finished August and September’s PotD pages, made digital calendars for November, typed an e-mail or two, tidied up a few things (and had school of course), and made supper of chicken stir-fry with fresh carrots, broccoli, spring onions, a small section of a HUGE courgette (all local), and frozen corn. What a blessing to have so many fresh vegetables. The boys were not allowed outside today as the grass was sprayed with poison to kill the weeds – it was agony for them but they managed to fill the time by watching an episode of Thunderbirds, playing music with Nick in his office (quite a privilege), drawing and making paper puppets on kebab sticks, and reading. They will be heading for the door at the first opportunity tomorrow though to have a bounce on the trampoline! Nick had his regular guitar lesson in the afternoon – this is Sophie who obligingly sat for a photo before playing riffs and chords. Most Saints have dark brown eyes – hers are a real treat! (The boys acted as my photographic assistants to hold a silver reflector in the right place).
