Friday 10th July: Today started bright but very chilly with a thick frost. We were out before 9am (early for us) and the boys loved skidding and sliding along the frosty pavements and grass verges and then graduated on to fields and grassy slopes! We were on our way to the sports programme they run in the holidays - we usually turn up for the Friday morning session without booking beforehand. Today no-one else turned up, not even the coaches, so presumably numbers were too low for the sessions to run. Pity - I had been looking forward to my first morning to myself since the last school holidays 3 months ago! Instead I had three little helpers at the supermarket, estate agent etc.
Back home the boys played in the garden for a while but it was too chilly so we got on with more of our Charlie workbook, all about the Oompa-Loompahs today.
After lunch the boys played computer games and I did some knitting, then before we knew it it was tea- and bed-time.
The photo is of today's eggs from the hens. Everyone else's hens have stopped laying but ours haven't yet. Last week in all the rain we got two each day, then it returned to 3 when the weather improved. Yesterday we had only one, then today we had these. We thought maybe a sparrow had popped in and left an egg behind, but our neighbours tell us this is probably the last egg of the season for one of our hens and "this is all she had left". Let's see what tomorrow brings....
