well, busy for us! i know lots of people doing crazier busy weekends
I had had some stressy work shifts the 2 days before, and pulled out my back and shoulder at work, so woke up feeling emotionally wobbly, and about aged 90 in the getting about stakes!
sat saw SB off and out for her grade 1 music theory exam. keeping my fingers crossed really, but think she should have passed. all her practice papers have been a pass anyway!
then, after hurrying and scurrying back, a quick lunch – SB made herby omelettes – yummy! – and out to watch the carnival procession through the village. some fab floats and costumes. bit of a fraught moment when blue lighting ambulance wanted to get past, but all sorted.
we finished lunch and then wandered down to the carnival field, dropping SB off to get ready for her ballet moment. BB wnet on some bouncy castles whilst we waited, and also got some gifts from surestart. the tannoy announced SB’s dance school and we all went across to watch. think they all did pretty well, and SB more confident that she was in the weeks running up to her grade 2.[she has her grade 3 exam on mon - bit of an aargh moment!] v proud of her for dancing in front of the carnival! after that, she went on some of the fun fair rides. BB , unfortunately, had a massive melt when she realised she could only choose some small animals at the darts thing, rather than the big tiger, oh well. we should have explained to her better. the heavens then opened, so we beat a hasty retreat home!!
Sun, after a bit of kerfuffle, and myself migrainous [again] we made our way down to my sis [ <3 ] for the day. brought lunch – chris made v yummy asparagus quiche! i did some baking with the older 2 [choc brownies] watched them wii, chatted to sis and bil, and we had a chilled day. My sister loved the knitted items from t-bird – thankyou v much, and also the dolphin stickers i had got for her dsi.
home rather late, and journey messed up, so we had to stop to eat and therefore even later home, to collapse into bed.
