Wild Flowers

Thought about heading to the library today but the sun’s making us all feel lazy so indulged in plenty of sunbathing and ‘normals’ in the garden. Pea 1 is very proud of her sunflower as it’s looking quite healthy but no growth from any of our veg yet- I thought it was too late in the season for much luck but I’d hoped for something at least .
The current English workbooks are causing a bit of a stir as they involve quite a lot of writing and the Peas are not enjoying it. I’m happy to relax it as I know they can write long stories when inspired so don’t feel that I have to push it now. I always hated to be given silly titles and be told to write meaningless tripe to occupy me at school. I love writing now but for a long time the joy disappeared from it .
After lunch, the Peas all helped make lasagne and fruit flan and asked DEP if he would like to come over for tea. He had planned to pop over, as he likes to see the Peas on his birthday (I’m the opposite ) but couldn’t come to tea as he already had plans. The afternoon was taken up with a flurry of card making as we have 3 birthdays (DEP’s, Greatnanny’s and grandad’s 70th) and fathers day this week . I was really proud of the effort that they put in and some lovely cards were made. Then it was off to music, a quick catch up with some friends in the park and a cuppa at the Young Strings cafe before home to our ‘here’s one we prepared earlier’ tea .
DEP came around later on for his cards and my friend Fi popped in too so bedtime for the Peas was later than usual with no reading time- Pea 2 was most annoyed because she has almost finished Lemony Snickett book 1.
