C1 and C2 back at school (happily), back in the routine of spending time with Mum and Dad, new job about to become a little less daunting (hopefully) and some good times.
Our membership of the library is being well-used - C2 has borrowed 19 books since the beginning of the Christmas holidays - talk about a reading frenzy! C1 has discovered the joy of reserving her favourite titles so that she can collect when she's ready for the next one.
I have borrowed every book about crochet and knitting - just need to find time to sit and do the stuff now. Life has suddenly become extremely busy. I don't mind that, but I miss the moments of stillness.
The piano-playing went down well the other night - a local WI had their Christmas party - it felt slightly weird playing seasonal music in January, but it was a lovely evening, in spite of the floods and driving rain.
A lovely friend has donated a complete high-sleeper bed (in bits) for C2's bedroom - I am blessed in having Mr 1957 in my life - he has a plan to saw bits off, jiggle it all around, and make it fit the tiny space - 97cm square!!!!!!!!
The weekend was brilliant - I love weekends like that. Started off with a carvery (and a voucher to save a shedload of money!), then swimming with C1, C2 and Mr 1957 vying for the award for the fastest slider on the purple flume! Even I had a go, although my swimming costume is indecently baggy, and will not see the light of day again.
Yesterday made the weekend complete, with a sunny walk in the woods, accompanied by 2 bikes, 4 walkie-talkies, a bag of sarnies and some satsumas. All good in my world.
