Tuesday 10th November: Sunny but cool in the morning then suddenly very hot after lunch, finally rain overnight. Schooling went really well again and we were all finished by lunchtime. I like Tuesdays because we don't have to go anywhere so we can get on with lots of different tasks. The boys were all busy doing as many "Chance card" tasks so everywhere got swept or hoovered, the bathroom sink was cleaned, towels changed, animals fed etc and I was free to get on with other jobs.
At 2pm I got the lawnmower out and spent nearly an hour cutting the long grass in the top paddock. The hens were running around and Peter and Jonathan had fun riding their bikes around the tracks I was cutting. Next I helped Edward plant some sunflower and cosmos plants in a small patch Mum and Dad had prepared over the weekend. We is going to look after this patch towards his Cubs' Gardening badge.
Tea was pork meatballs - the boys' favourite - and banana gingerbread and cream.
Soon after dinner I was out to a Gym Club Committee meeting which finished late.
