midweek madness

Yesterday I didn't quite manage my early start, but we were out by 12 at the flea market, where we got some lovely coloured twig pencils. We headed down to the group, with a new roll of lining paper, for some drawing and painting.

It was quite a small group, but we managed to get six of us around a parachute to play some games, including "washing machine", where someone sits in the middle of the chute and the others walk round, twisting it low to the ground and then walk outwards, sending the person round in circles (some care needed not to injure the person in the middle!), and "orange, apple, banana", where opposites pairs of people run underneath while the chute is up in the air, which is always great fun when it works.

Other news: Meg got a job and texted me in the afternoon, saying "I've got my own office!". She's so grown up.

...And I got a new job! here's my desk- at home. I've not quite got the hang of it yet and it's on an Apple powerbook, so I've given up fighting with it for tonight.
After my work initiation meeting I went to the pub for some midweek madness, which inevitably lead to a quiet pyjama Thursday for me and the boys.
