As they are arriving late, and it gets dark round here – mind you, they are used to rural!
I’m beginning to feel a bit better in the hand/wrist dept – not so swollen. got fed up with sausages for fingers. Saw the rheumatologist, who suggested an up and down thing for 2-3 weeks, but should just go. good oh!
Whilst I was at work, the beans went to PBEO and learnt about birds. BB has been going on about birds intermittently ever since. Difficult to settle when they got back [mid aft], so they argued over every toy [and they had picked up a few in the morning to argue over] and swapped them every 5 seconds. SB couldn’t settle to anything either. Finally she did some nick jr and moved onto education city. Apparently spanish will be available in a months time! BB desperately jealous of edu city – and although found a number of nice sites – and tried the poisson rouge recommendation from Katy – they just distracted SB, whilst BB was mad keen to do education city too. SO have another trial version now running with BB nursery. I am not paying for the nursery just so she doesn’t shriek! I will put a BB list though in the sidebar. SB is excited that on monday her selection for education city will change – she is such a daft but gorgeous girl to be excited by it!
A colleague from work came round – bringing choccies to make me feel better. SB and BB coloured for him and generally shew off. I must integrate more with work, so that it seems a better deal. He is one of my favourite colleagues though, and always makes me smile.
Oh, the other thing I have done is started some grape and redcurrant jelly, but lost the jelly bag, so rigged up some not-quite-good-enough-for-the job alternative. Oh well, it will just be cloudy. Home grown grapes though! [and redcurrants that have been sitting in the freezer for yonks]
Bath time now, and girls have been fed. I will make us an aubergine, mushroom and paneer curry [yum] for our tea. the ‘off the pathers’ are eating on the way down, so we will eat while SB is staying up [watching attenborough natural science progs and little house probably]
I have got guests coming excitement, so no good for settling down either – do you think we should make a bit of room for them in this bombsite??
L is very into Jump Ahead Toddler and Jump Ahead Baby at the moment, pestering me to put it on all the time. It responds just to random keyboard clicks, only L manages to call up the start menu and fiddle with allosrts he shouldn’t while he’s on the PC. Even managed to invert the screen on the library PC when we were in there yesterday. These computer mad toddlers eh? lol
we have jump ahead toddler somewhere. must rootle it out!
BB also has a trick of making laptop screen go sideways – great!
We have Jump Ahead Toddler too – but it doesn’t seem to run ATM. Must get it going. Shannon loves the computer!
hope you have a great weekend.
