Fun day 20180821

Woke up late as slept very deeply.  I think it helped me get over a bug I felt was coming on in my throat.

Had a fun day mostly with the children.  We went to the library where Sam got a medal and a certificate for completing the summer reading challenge.  Then Elsie amused me by sitting for ages on the toilet in her fairy costume reading books.

Babysat tonight and poor Elsie has a dreadful cough.

Another family picture 20180820

I didn’t take any pictures today as I spent a lot of the day doing various sorts of creative work on my computer.  So for today the picture is the other family picture I took while at the playground on Saturday. 

In both of them Elsie has her eyes shut!

Spent the day with Bob and Jean which was lovely.  Poor Jean is constantly tired because of all the pills she has to take for her pain.

Tom asked me to take some special pictures of the whole family and this is one of them.

Babysat last night which was all right even although Elsie is having trouble sleeping because of a cough and cold.

Doing simple things 20180817

We spent the day shopping in three different shops which included a large store selling DIY materials.  When we got back I had to give Sam a long explanation of why I didn’t want to play Monopoly.  He asked me whether I didn’t like the game because of the numbers and I had to explain it was about my values not numbers. He seemed quite happy to play it by himself and later we played a video game together.  I didn’t do too badly at it although obviously much worse than Sam who has had a lot more practice.

Had long discussions with Emma who is finding family life very challenging at the moment.  I am going to babysit for them tomorrow.

A new video 20180816

I spent the whole morning doing the video of our trip to Sue and Dennis.  It reminded me of why I enjoy doing this sort of work so much.  The picture is of the dining room table where I have set up my work space to do this.

A quiet day 20180815

Lynne comes to look after the children on Wednesday so was able to have a catch up morning before going to see them just after lunch.  Sam’s recorder book had arrived so we had another session together.  Its going very well and I feel he is listening to the sound as well as understanding the tempo.

Cooked a meal this evening but very cross because I burnt it.  I thought I had turned down the gas but didn’t check to see and then found I hadn’t turned it down far enough.  In future I need to stay in the kitchen and watch it cook!
