This 'n' That!!

As I write this, Lillie is on her iPod after watching the movie Flushed Away (2006). She is not dressed yet, but it is Sunday! Plus, we've had more busy days this past week and yesterday. Lillie has enjoyed being back at Dee's while I'm at work. She made an African headdress at one of the morning groups Lillie goes to. I shall upload a pic of the headdress when Lillie collects it this week. Lillie has also been reading more of her chosen book (another Harry Potter one!) and has covered a little numeracy, creative writing and some spelling practice. I think it's time for the spelling practice to cease! Lillie will always ask or will be referred to a dictionary, as and when she feels unable to spell a word. And it's getting to the stage where this becomes less and less.

Girls' Brigade was as enjoyable as ever for Lillie last Thursday - upon arrival the Captain greeted Lillie and informed her that she was missed last week due to our holiday. It felt so good to hear this and I know it made Lillie feel valued. And that's how it should be too, me thinks. GB is a group activity club that Lillie has thrived at, since starting way back in November 2009. And I enjoy some chit chat with leaders, parents and some of the girls too.

Friday afternoon and evening, Lillie and I just chilled. Mostly apart too! Lillie spent most of the late afternoon and evening up in her room, listening to music, watching a movie and writing. She only came down for dinner! Oh, and a hug every so often. Yesterday started early! We spent a good few hours up the Lottie, preparing it for the winter months and also thinking ahead to next spring. We are so excited about next year's harvest, as we will have the same head start as other established plot holders. With being able to start the sowing at the start of spring 2014 rather than half way through like this year, will be fantastic and crops will be plentiful!! After Lottie came the food shop before heading home for a good and well earned rest!!

 

Look at all that lovely mud on the bottom of your willies, Lilsie!!

 

Jobs done and time to go...

 

... good job we left when we did judging by this dark cloud! But, no heavy rainfall came in the end!!

This morning we had a little lay in, but by 09:30 the ironing, washing of laundry and the preparation for a lamb roast was all done. We were sat, feet up, watching the movie stated above. So, we shall start as we mean to go on... a chilled, relaxed Sunday... Heaven!!
