This morning K has spread the scrap cards all over the floor in the dining room, altho she was allegedly doing some cutting. It’s a lovely day, so mostly they have been outside, with the stated aim of making a pirate ship in the back garden, but also playing in their bedroom with the animals, the kitchen toys, and with a long scenario involving being in a caravan and going on a journey. Mr Bat went through all the shoes and tried them on each kid and found out which ones fit and culled the rest. Other than that we’ve been doing a lot of tidying and sorting!

• helped me (a bit) tidy up in their room
• went for a walk down the road to the park and to see if Betty has any more veges for sale. Coming back was not a success as H had to be escorted firmly and with great outpourings of woe up the entire hill.
• pottered about and entertained themselves (did you do anything interesting while I was out, E?)
• E went into Hobart to catch up with an interstate SCAdian friend who was visiting Ynys Fawr, and I pottered about and amiably ignored the babies, who looked at books until they were ready to go to sleep
