I had planned to go out and do an autumn walk, or go to a national trust place, but actually, BB and I mostly chilled. I really needed a low key weekend, and feel much better for it 
tho do actually wish we had gone out to the national trust. will take the cousins there next weekend perhaps.
SO saturday I made chutney with my helper BB who actually was pretty useful . We did some home ed together – the things she saves for me 
French and collins grammar book. They went pretty easily TBH. She then did some glass bottle painting whilst I was stirring and more stirring. Good use of diet coke bottles.
And we both felt that we were in need of lots of cuddles and snuggles, and had a ticklefest and rootiepooties and generally v happy Sunday was also a snuggly day we did some piano and had a bit of a waily moment over nets in maths, but having used our polydrons it was magically easy again always fab to have just the right resource at the right moment!! We read our letters from SB, and wrote a card to her. Played a few games – sata and biberbande.
Alfie the tortoise and a good wash and scrub – much as he hates it – and he looks nice and shiny. It also perked him up as he has been racing around since then. we found a length / weight chart for tortoises – see below – and had some fun getting friends to weigh and length their torties too. A bit of legoing – mostly me wthing and finding and not allowed to actually do anything
Day finished snuggling some more watching atlantis and then david attenborough in africa. He is getting to look preciously old, the kind of age where you take a deep breath knowing your time with a loved one is short. I have never met him, but he has had such an effect on me and mine.
lovely chilled weekend DH and I finished the day with star trek movie
