Hmm, difficult to blog onto a word document, much prefer doing it on wordpress! Anyay, better start with…
Monday! SB did an all day sports thing, which she mostly enjoyed. They did quite a mixture of sports, but she said some of the boys were quite misbehaved [this as a half term sports event not a reg home ed group] and she did come home with the most stunning of bruises! Meanwhile I as recovering with a lurking migraine with BB at home. It was only a few days ago, and already my memory is dimming!! Anyway, I am fairly sure that BB did some more of her Singapore 1A math, as quite taken by the new books! And that she had got to ‘hungry crocodiles’.She also did some getty and dubay book a. e then did a fairly ong bit of fimo-ing, where she made daddy a lovely keyring for his birthday, but has already shown him a couple of times, and I made a brooch. We did a fair bit of playing around, watched something or other I think [ I must chase my facebook screen when back online] and then she went off to gym taster session – she is desperate to get to go to gym!! When she came back we made sausage rolls. Somehow it took an age for chris to get back with sb from sports [thankyou katy for caring for her] so bb had eaten here, sb had eaten with the deependers! Luckily that meant I had some fav dinner for brekkie!! I was an insomniac again [ and have been all week – grr!!]
Tuesday – YAY holiday!! So eventually we set off for our chosen holiday destination. Chosen for its many possibilities and viability as an awful weather destination… Birmingham. And yes, it was fab. Agreed by us all. SB wishes I had got a job here… Anyway, easy journey and arrival at premier inn. Base camp established and we were off too Birmingham museum and art gallery, only we got distracted en route. There was a temporary wheel in town, and the girls desperate to go in it. Ok then, why not. Aargh. I remember, heights, and the carriage on this one wobbles! But it was good, we went round 4 times without even the hint of a mischance. E did then move onto the museum and raced around it with less time than ideal, particularly as girls witing, so a stop at their fab Edwardian tearoom in order! I had a most delicious lemon cheesecake. Mm mm!! We got firmly removed from the Birmingham history section by dint of the lights being switched off!! Bath for the girls and then a return out to pizza express, where we were v happy with food, particularly with the idea of a tiny pud and coffee combo! Chris’s was by far the best – baby figs and macarpone! We watched some winter Olympics back at base – we have done this at every return, and seems uncommonly common to watch curling!
