a catching up sort of day

both sb and i meant ot get up early, and both of us failed miserably. we also both failed to brush our hair and spent the day tangly. i at least will shower and detangle this evening…

lots of music prac happened, clarinet and then piano with me for sb, and we had a go with mozart duets too, which was fun. i love doing the fun things but tend to get overly focussed on the necessary. trying to remember to do the fun too! BB and i didn’t do the planned cello, but did do a good piano, and thought of lots of games and sillies to get the hang of legerlines and which notes were which, as the book has kind of thrown her, and she thinks there are too many notes to learn for the piano. think we got somewhere tho. must always do little and positive!

Mostly today we have played starship munchkin. SB got this for her birthday and has loved it. BB was initially reluctant to play, but has found that as long as fairly quick, she loves it too :) result!! SO we played twice :)

BB has also got back into reading decline and fall of the roman empire, and jotting down the numbers. not entirely sure why…

it has been a terribly long winter! still snowing last week intermittantly, and may still snow again. However, the sun has been out on the weekend when I haven’t been at work. This means that I have finally sown some seeds. Due to the enormous cost that heating the greenhouse thus far would have been, and the lack of light in the house, I have abandoned peppers and aubergines for this year, tho we had a good harvest last year.

Today, I have sown: tomatoes – gardeners delight and golden sunrise, beetroot, florence fennel, sunflowers: sunspot and russian giant

an eclectic mix i will own! the propagator in the greenhouse isn;t yet connected to heat and hoping that will happen tomorrow. Planning to also sow then some peas, carrots mangetout and pak choi. all in modules as don’t trust the weather!

My daughters also been sowing: SB an array of flowers and herbs

and BB mostly salad leaves, edible flowers and things her tortoise Alfie will want to eat.
