Back to work / school with a bump this week.
The weather teased us that spring was coming with a surprisingly warm weekend, which sadly didn’t last long and I am back to defrosting my car in the mornings.
Here is our week:
Sunday 19th February
Is spring now officially on its way – we managed to get the washing on the line and dry for the first time this year.
Last week was all about decorating Eliza’s room, so we didn’t really get out of the house much, so we made the most of our final day of half term and headed for Swanage to get some sea air.
It was a lovely day, the kids one some goodies in the arcade and we enjoyed some chips as we walked along the prom. We weren’t quite brave enough for a paddle though.
Monday 20th February
Back to work and school for all of us and the traffic was a bit of a shock again. Our council just love closing roads at the moment and managed to close three around where I work, so traffic was at a standstill. My normal 30 minute drive took an hour and a half!!!!
My only picture today is of Willow relaxing in her nice warm bath. She is starting to shed and giving her a bath helps the process.
Tuesday 21st February
PANCAKE DAY!!!!!!!!
The kids were super excited to flip their pancakes and did brilliantly, catching them each time. Their only disappointment was that they didn’t have any strawberries, so had to make do with maple syrup, chocolate spread or lemon juice.
Wednesday 22nd February
My day working at preschool and Lilah insisted on sticking with me for the day as I was on duty in the garden. I think I wore her out with all the running around as all she wanted to do was cuddle “Boo” when we got home.
Thursday 23rd February
Lilah helped me give Willow her breakfast and afterwards sat and talked to her and tried to show her where the hoppers were that she had yet to catch.
Willow seemed to understand, as he followed Lilah’s direction to find the rest of her food.
Friday 24th February
As part of my community work with Tesco, I get to spend some time out of store visiting and helping local charities. Today I was lucky enough to visit Poole Foodbank to help put a fundraising plan together for 2023 and they are located right by Poole harbour.
Saturday 25th February
Payday weekend (sadly not for me), so I had to work and it was manic!!!
The highlight of the day was taking the car through the carwash once I had finished.
How was your week?
It did feel like spring was on it’s way but we had a little snow on Friday afternoon. lol Not enough to lay but it was there.
The roads sound terrible near you. x
It’s felt a lot warmer here outside too, but then for football on Saturday we were all colder than expected on the sidelines. It seems our roads are similar to yours – roadworks every direction, although it feels like it’s been like that since Covid lockdowns.
I’ve been hanging the washing out but it hasn’t been drying. I forgot all about pancake day, felt like too much hassle for one.
So nice to get washing out on the line. Looks like you had lovely weather for your trip to Swanage. What a lovely photo of Lilah cuddled up to Eliza. #project365
Ooh you’ve reminded me that I haven’t made pancakes yet (we have a tradition of NOT having them on Shrove Tuesday) but we’ve taken it in turns to be ill so it got forgotten 🙁 #project365
Love pancakes I actually did get strawberries but no syrup. It sounds like Willow is an interesting pet to have. Getting to go out and about with your Tesco job sounds interesting too #365
