I've had a bit of scrapper's block for my Monday page, even though I had no problems with Tuesday or Wednesday. I managed to get it done using one of Shimelle's new sketches today - and in record time! So now I need to play catch-up.
On Monday I learned that I REALLY need to keep my calendar up to date with events I have planned. It's simple enough surely. I had bought a ticket for the Knitting & Stitching Show weeks ago but,for some reason, failed to write it down. Then my DH, Gareth, arranged a weekend in Eastbourne with my in-laws on the same weekend - when he asked if I had anything on that weekend the date didn't even ring a bell... I discovered my foolish mistake on Monday and, thankfully, we were able to rearrange the Eastbourne weekend so I can still go to the show. Phew.
There have been other organisational mishaps this week but I think I should probably not own up to them - it's just too embarrassing..
So here is my page for Monday - the whole sorry tale is tucked away behind the BasicGrey paper.
On Tuesday, we were treated to the most glorious sunshine and by lunchtime we were basking in at least 25 degrees. I took the boys to the park in Addiscombe (a rather more upmarket park than our shabby local one) and we had a lovely time playing on the climbing frames and having a little picnic on the grass. On the way home we passed some fantastic sunflowers in a front garden, so perfectly golden against the blue sky I had to take a photo. It really did make me feel Summer had returned, just as I had resigned myself to the onset of Autumn and Winter.
On Wednesday we took Charlie for his pre-school appointment to meet his class teachers before he starts Nursery on 21st Sept. Although he was shy and didn't say much, he did a beautiful picture while we were there, and got to play on the computer (or 'pin-cuter', as he calls it). We bought him a school jumper which he then refused to take off - although he was VERY reluctant to let me photograph him in it. He is very mixed up about whether he wants to start nursery or not. The photo shows me trying to get him to show off the badge on the jumper. No chance..
If anyone's made it to the end, thanks for reading!!! ;-)
