Hoped to get the bulk of the gardening/veg sorted this weekend, and think we have prob managed it. OBbviously loads of things still to plant out etc, but is def coming together v nicely. WOuld have liked to have gone geocaching or cycling, but SB has hurt her foot. 3 years ago she had a v nasty accident and scraped off the side of her right foot and also broke her heel bone. SInce then this foot has been v sensitive to knocks and bumps, so it is always difficult to decide how much problem there may be. She also gets very worried about anything with that foot. Anyway, from friday she has been not weight bearing and using crutches. I examined it, and it isn’t swollen, there is no bruising, and it has a full range of movements [even if pain is reported] . Anyway, has v much limited what we have done this weekend. if no improvement, we will go to the GP on Mon for a second opinion. I am less worried as she did a fair bit of trampoline bouncing in the middle of the day. [in fact now occais she forgets and weight bears]
Friday was arts award, and both girls enjoyed their art. SB did a warholised pic, and BB a hamster version. I believe that both really enjoyed it, and there was not too much stress from BB when her first go went wrong. Although the girls had wanted to go swimming, my inlaws needed a few jobs doing, so instead they went round there for the day.
This weekend we have done some music prac and a bit of home-ed – such that both girls have done enough to ‘win’ a box book.SB and I had fun duetting on the piano, and then she played the clarinet and I had to come up with the accompaniment. BB also done a piano prac and glock. SHe is currently not sure about the cello. Always best not to push things with BB! We all did music theory, BB read and did some conversational french and SB did galore park and maths.
However, this has been quite a relaxed weekend and we have done quite a bit of crafting. Yesterday we did both wet and dry felting all together. I do like wet felting, but we now have no working needles for dry! Today we did a bit more, and BB and I now each have a small felted bag as we have sown together 2 squares. 
. SB plans to make a quilt! BB and I also made some more fimo cane toppers. SB used some of the old seed packets to make a collage, and she has also done the advert for the spare plants we will sell on the drive again. The girls have played with the sylvanians for AGES – allowing DH and i to do the bulk of the gardening work. We have had lots of cuddles and snuggles, watched Dr Who, and currently girls watching prince caspian whilst eating bean wraps for tea. Think Sedna still loose in the garden tho…
Nothing like a good weekend in the garden. I have the sore back to prove it. Even the rain came at the right time
thankyou for commenting
we are still rain-free currently, unfortunately.
I had no idea how to approach this beno-erfow I’m locked and loaded.
Yes, I did know that and thought about using "forest" initially but decided against it because "wood for the trees" just sounds much nicer to me. I'm hoping that in this increasingly globalized world the correlation between expressions and geography/culture will break down a bit. This is a tiny contribution to that effort. Another expression that is better in the original is "till death us do part" in wedding vows. The American version, "till death do us part" is much less poetic.
