So it was a bad day on Fri but good days Sat and Sun. Fri began with a trip to the dairy for cream and cheese to find they had none, then got home to no internet so unable to search for alternative ice cream recipes (for dinner party that evening). Children woke up grumpy and afternoon naps were perfunctory so the grumpiness continued. The afternoon improved after some sanity at lunchtime and we got the kids to bed and began to prepare for dinner when the power went off (for an hour and half) the steamed pudding bubbled away on the camping stove and the rest had to wait until power resumed. We had a lovely evening followed by a dreadful night when we were up much of the night with our youngest – it might have been teeth ….
Despite the early start Sat was lovely, nice and cool and friends called around for coffee and stayed for lunch. Sunday we had a really good service at church, our eldest went to Sunday school solo and we heard the whole sermon and then enjoyed a late lunch with friends which lasted until children’s bedtime – perfect! For those interested in sleep (only other mothers I expect) we have had two good nights sleep so I feel human again.
