B still didn’t have a computer this morning but she used mine to check her email before pottery. She had a message from her new JL penpal, Natti, and she had time to write back before we had to leave. In the car on the way to pottery I had a brainwave and asked her if she would make me hanging medallions and beads for my mobiles, which she was extremely enthusiastic about, especially when I mentioned my idea of a market stall and the possibility of making some money out of it! She made beads at the class today, she tells me.

We were prepared for her to catch the bus between pottery and German, but Mum’s doctor’s appointment in the same suburb ended early so she swung past and picked B up just as the bus was coming down the street! She took her to have lunch at Maccas before German. K, H and I had playgroup, then went into the library to wait for B. K borrowed five books, including The Elephant and the Bad Baby 🙂

When we got home B played in the garden for ages, while K watched Playschool and I cooked lunch (risotto). Nannie came back again around three but Jackie had decided it was too cold to go riding, so Nannie just stayed and played with the kids for half an hour or so. There was some pretty non-stop TV watching from 3:30-6, then B and K went on my computer while I cooked dinner. K started out playing Elmo’s Keyboard-o-rama, then they explored lots of other games on the Sesame Street site. In the meantime E had fixed B’s computer, so she went back on there after dinner. K pottered about, had a shower, and then cut off most of her hair again while sitting in front of the heater to dry off… Galoot!
