The school holidays are progressing well. We are into our second week now and I've lost track of how many times we've been to the beach and the park! We have also been to see the new Harry Potter film - fantastic! We are all eagerly awaiting the last books release this week - two little people are simply desperate to find out what happens next!
The children have been to swimming classes this morning and this afternoon they made chocolate brownies - they came out rather well which is why I can't show you a photo of the finished product! Here is Adam wielding the mixer.
This is what I found taped to the bathroom door the other night - a schedule of exercise and healthy eating designed by Miss Lucy. Notice how the word 'Mum' has been scored through at the top! I think this was somehow originally for me - do you think she is trying to tell me something? I thought it was a great idea but the word 'Jogg' did fill me with some trepidation until Lucy assured me it was 'okay, cos' it's just round the garden' - phew!
I have some sad news. My mother in law passed away on Sunday morning. She had been ill for some time and began to get worse at the end of last week. I know it's a cliche, but I am so glad she is not suffering any longer.

My deepest sympathy to you and your family for you loss.
I'm sorry to hear your sad news. Best wishes to everyone. Thanks for commenting, Dad and I are back safe and sound. They did a controlled explosion on a left suitcase at the local National Express Station.
Dear Papoosue,
We went through that very recently and the death came with no warning, on the other side of the world.
My own mother lingered terribly and so I can identify with your experience. I wish you and your family great strength.
Warmest wishes
David
So sorry to hear your sad news Sue -my thoughts are with your family.
Harry Potter is a big thing in our family too. My oldest son and I always fight over who is going to read the book first. I have to sneak it from him when he's not looking.
Sorry to hear of your loss. I hope things get better for you. I'm glad you like the fabric! I was thinking the second piece looked like little stones but the actual name of the fabric is "apple crisp".

Love the schedule - and nice to see she's given weekends off, though personally, I would probably prefer dinner BEFORE sleep... :)
