Wednesday 11th March: Last night was very stormy and there were times when we wondered if our shed-like house might blow away, but we were all here this morning! Today was chilly and we started to remember just how cold the house got last winter. It was 12 degrees in the lounge, and with the help of baking bread rolls and heat from the fridge, the kitchen (where we homeschool) rose to a sweltering 17 degrees!
Home schooling went well. However it was too windy, cold and showery to meet the other homeschoolers for sports, so we got together to play board games instead. They were thrilled with the games we took along - Rat-a-tat-cat and Doodle dice being favourites (thanks David and Sue, these always wow the children).
From there we dashed to Keas where Peter needed to take a skateboard. We borrowed one from our neighbour's grandson. The mums all had images of collecting their 6 year old sons minus a few teeth, but in fact they were 'rowing' them in the hall using rolled up newspaper as oars!
Now tea is cooking and the boys are busy playing and I'm going to sort out the winter duvets for their beds for tonight.
