random things summer holidays week 4

a quiet week in which several books are read,  siblings forget how to get along, and the "if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all" rule needed some refreshing.........

it was also a week of not enough cake, no early morning crafting - very remiss, of watching old favourite movies and old episodes of Dr Who as there is increasing excitement of the approaching new series.

a week of hairstyles as Miss K experimented with a curling wand, watching her get in a tangle trying to learn how to twist the hair round, whilst being confused by looking in the mirror was too funny for words, in the end I let her practise on me. I looked like a poodle by the end of it, lots of bonkers curls all going in different directions.............

a week of sorting out, of planning, of list writing, of making piles, of getting a suitcase to pack and finding there's a cat sleeping in it...........

ahead of us there are familiar places to visit, family traditions to uphold, new places to explore, family to see, friends to meet.

I'm taking some time off, I'll be back in a few weeks to catch up. x

  4. I'm afraid the "if you have nothing nice to say" rule has had to be implemented here too. Firmly.

  8. Why do cats always make a beeline for an open suitcase ?

  9. Your summer sounds lovely. Books, you say? Wow. And if your siblings have forgotten to get on, mine are doomed.

  13. The nothing to say rule is ( pointlessly?) reiterated on a daily basis here. Sigh. Have a great holiday :)
