Hi, I haven't really had time to blog and the pc I usually use is still being mended after not quite surviving the move intact. And basically, I am a bit out of the habit of things, and finding a time and a place for everything in our new life.
Anyway, briefly... today we went out in the garden and madly hacked away at some of the overgrown bushes with shears and started to clear a place for a firepit. Miffy had another litter- o dear! we must have about 12 rabbits!
After tea I cut down one of the old wooden venetian blinds for the bay window- 2 up, one to go. They look great, and I was told it couldn't be done, but you know me: dogged determination... I used Milly's hacksaw for the metal bit and a big wood saw for the slats, which I had bound together with parcel tape. Unfortunately I have to cut 2cm of the other one before I put it up, but at least I know it can be done. But, for now my arms are really tired!
Meanwhile the boys played at making robots from all the bits of wood and cardboard boxes that were lying around. But I had to tidy it all up before I came upstairs as the room was a complete mess!
Yesterday we didn't go out and they did lots of jigsaws, plus a bit of phonics (collage of things beginning with "e" sound- quite challenging, but they did really well). I made a phonics board- I'll have to show you- much easier than describing. Joy decided to do a large horse alphabet, ie a picture of something to do with horses for each letter of alphabet.
Last week I was too tired to do anything much- I think it all hit me 2 weeks after moving and I took it easy for 4 days. I did manage to get rid of nearly all the big boxes, though.
We seem to be having a great time in our new house. It's such a relief to be finally here.
