Another good and busy day today. We started the day by doing jigsaw puzzles, something the boys haven’t done in a long time. Aaron normally battles with a 35-piece one, so I was especially pleased when he tackled, and completed with some help, a 100-piece puzzle. Caleb did a 150-piece one which is a fairly tricky one, but he usually has the spatial ability to work them out. While the boys were busy with those, I stayed in the diningroom and thoroughly cleaned and sorted the cupboard in the corner, which was not looking too good. I threw out a few incomplete games and some impossible puzzles, and vacuumed all the shelves and floor. Then at 11 we met Elza at the coffee shop. We didn’t stay for too long though as the boys tend to get bored there and can’t really enter into any conversation, but it was great to catch up with Elza. Nick wanted to start some more building today, as he fetched two buckets of building sand from Knollcombes yesterday, so we quickly went to the DIY to get some cement. He made good progress building a braai area in the upper bricked area in the back yard. He’s long been wanting to do this. Then he was off to bible study, after a supper of soup.
We still have the baby pigeon with us. Today it was very docile, not running away when we came near, so either it is sick, or has become used to us. The mother bird has been very diligent in caring for it, and even when she’s not feeding it, she is not far away. The father also seems to hang around in our yard quite a lot, strutting around in a very paternal way!
