Sunday 11th October: Warm and sunny, a high of about 17 degrees. We were woken by birdsong in a light room because we didn't have curtains up in our room and the sun comes up on that side of the house. The boys slept in for a while after their later bedtime last night.
We spent a quiet morning pottering around. The hens were a little out of sorts after their journey in the removal van yesterday but we did get 2 eggs out of 3. The boys played on ther bikes and I did some unpacking while Steve started attacking the garden with the strimmer.
After lunch we got ready for Edward's birthday party. We had hired the same hall as for Peter's party last month. There were 11 children plus our 3. We played some games and then had some craft activities for the children to try - origami, Hama beads, tumbler painting, pipe cleaner creatures and egg cup pin cushions. Of course there was also a large chocolate mud cake to share. The children were all fabulous - friendly, co-operative and invlved in the activities. Three of the mums were kind enough to stay and help out, too, which made the activities much easier.
After the party we packed up some more bits and bobs from the rented house and drove out to the new house. Steve went flying his aeroplane and took Peter with him. Edward, Jonathan and I put Jonathan's bed together.
After tea the boys played and I did the washing-up and some more unpacking. Still no curtains up so another later bedtime for the boys, but no objection from them!
Steve and I sat and relaxed with the tv on in the evening and unpacked and sorted some more bags.
The photo is of the children at Edward's party - poor lighting, I know, but it was the best I could do in the circumstances.
