The rest of the week

monday dh and the girls went to visit his mum, do a few jobs, be sociable etc. the girls did a bit of work whilst there, but mostly they were making nanna happy .  Tuesday was a staying at home kind of day, weds we have already done, so onto thursday.

Thursday was a london day. TB had some tickets for the mammoth exhibition at the natural history museum and so DH took the girls down nice and early. it was more stressful than planned, since bb had slipped in the shower and twisted her ankle, but she bravely said she would go in on crutches, as it seemed too good to miss. so bright and early they all met up at the natural history. the deependers were there as well, so I think it was extra lovely that they all got to meet up 2 days in a row. both girls enjoyed the mammoth exhibition, and then went into the rocks bit, bb was quite impressed with the vault and the hunk of gold . it was very tiring for her though on crutches, so mid afternoon dh brought her home, and she fell asleep on the train. SB stayed with TB and family a bit longer and went out for a meal in the evening with them before being shepherded onto her train. the cheeky monkey pretended she had missed getting off at the right stop where dh was waiting – leaving me in a panic! but she hadn’t and was soon home to regale us of exploits. So definately thankyou to TB, both for the tickets in and suggestion, but also giving SB a fab bit of indepent time

Friday SB had her first french lesson with her tutor. she really likes her tutor – which is good! the tutor [d] agreed with kfish that sb’s conversational french and vocab is good, but her verbs need a workout, so she is going to concentrate on that for a bit. kfish gave a handy website for french, which I hope sb will use as well as her books. Afterwards they visited M and her kids who were quite local and had a bit of socialising and fun. sb gets on v well with their daughter r2.
