They are lovely, really they are. But it's so peaceful when they are both asleep!! Today was another good day all round. We managed the walk to school (it's 1.25 miles each way so Miss A is doing well), and then I stayed for the Friends Coffee Morning - I had to do a good impression of being a grown up responsible type of mother. Fortunately there were several other mothers also attempting to make this impression and it was quite sociable. Miss I enjoyed an illicit biscuit and threw some bricks around. After a nap (bliss) and lunch we walked into town - I'd forgotten quite how easy it is with one in the sling - you can walk as quickly as you like and go to whichever shops you want. I could even get into Montezuma's - and they said 'would you like to try some chocolate?' - what a silly question!! After school we went to the park and then it was home for more blackberry picking before tea and baths.
I went swimming tonight which was lovely and peaceful, hadn't been for ages and a quick 30 minutes does make you feel more awake. While ploughing up and down the lanes spent my time usefully pondering where to go on holiday in February half term. Having just booked our French cottage for October half term it pays to plan ahead for these things! TH (who I am now going to refer to as the Tolerant Husband) is on about booking the ferries for next August - now that's forward planning. By the way, while I was swimming - TH (got that?) was left in charge of the girls - he went into the garage, shut the door and embarked on some welding on the Minor van. Does the baby monitor work with a welding mask on??
Now to retire with the latest issue of the Green Parent magazine and some Montezuma's dark chocolate buttons (does this count as product placement? will they give me any free samples?).
