Cold wet & warm

Jamie took Reagan to horse riding and then went to swim in Pickmere Lake on a cold foggy morning, which I think is ‘kin’ madness but whatever….? I stayed home and worked on me bench in me shed where I have found that a little bit of gentle heat is retained for ages meaning I can comfortably work in there in any weather.

I took Lincoln to cricket nets after dinner which sort of scuppered my plans as when I returned, I had lost me enthusiasm

We built a fire later on, and one of us complained that they were cold and I was fine,wierd that!

Cheeky Friday Beer

The fact that we have put an awful lot of work into being parents we can start to reap the rewards of that labour with things like leaving them at home while we go for a walk, for example. Tonight we decided to end the week with a walk through town and a cheeky pint and a G&T in the Cheese.

Couldn’t do it without them

Watching a programme about Tom Brady he said he couldn’t do it without his family and I couldn’t do all this without mine!

Make me proud

As I am back at work both children are still off school and because Jamie is also working too, they are pretty much left to their own devices and they are so great at that because of video calling and the fact that they can have a laugh with their mates without leaving the house.

Hunger is always the issue for two kids no matter how much fun they were having and they are fully capable of feeding themselves so it is not a problem but today they made me both proud and disappointed too.

When hunger got the better of them and with no parental supervision they used their GoHenry and ordered MacDonalds to be delivered to the door….?

Their knowledge and ingenuity makes me so proud but their choice of food disappoints me!

Back to life

Not sure I realised just how much I was enjoying being off work even if I had spent a lot of time working. It was just nice to go down to me shed and just be me, woodworking darts listening to music or a podcast. Whatever took me fancy really, it was nice?

Today I had to go to Wilmslow for work but that meant a good half hour in the car listening to podcasts and traversing the horrendous weather flooding a lot of the roads I happened along both to and from Broom Cottage.

On my way home I called at Screwfix to pick up some screws that I needed yesterday if I was to do a glue up but they were shut so I ended up playing more darts than I should have…

Reagan and Lincoln are off school for another week and it’s a bit difficult for us to be working while they entertain themselves so Mommy took them swimming once she finished work while I made tea once I finished.

I am nipping back from the future just to cheat the WordPress post counter!

Yes I am cheating the streak!
