Huffle went off to work for the last time in his Hunk of Junk and returned in a gleaming sparkling new car. It seemed so small next to the one he had before and smelt so clean. He is very happy with it.
The boys went to school complaining that I was making them stand outside too early.
I left Grandma and Grandad home alone, watching The Great British Bake Off and Gardeners World from last week. I cycled to AerobicNics loft and did a very good workout. It was very humid and a killer but I enjoyed it. I cycled home and joined Grandma and Grandad while they skyped Aunt Pear.
After a shower I watched Grandad trying to get the Generator working. We had to go next door to borrow some bits and he finally got it going but it wasn't right so we think it needs to go back to the shop as it is still under warranty. After lunch, Grandad fixed Smallest's curtain pole that I broke last night. Then he tried to fix the basketball net but needs some bits to finish it.
Grandma and I went and did a small shop and got home in time for the boys coming off the bus. Both had homework and got on with it before we go to see our presents from UK. Packets of sweets from Marks and Spencer's, tee-shirts and tops for the boys and PJ's for me. The boys also got some stationery sets but they had ManCity and ManU on them - Grandad said it was nothing to do with him and Grandma said it was the only ones they had and she thought they would be good to take to school. Yes, take them to school!!!
When Huffle came home we gave the boys some tea and then headed off for 'Meet the Teacher' night at school. We met Small's French teacher first who we know already but she was telling us how well Smallest was doing in Drama and how good Small is at French speaking. Next we went into Smallest's classroom and guessed his piece of artwork. It was a profile of his head side on filled on with drawings applicable to him. It was very good and included an English Flag and a Walmart/Asda smiley face. We went to see Small's classroom, although his teacher wasn't there (but we know her anyway) and found his untidy desk. We spoke to his Science/Math teacher who we really liked. All in all their teachers seem to be very good this year and we are both happy (as are the kids).
It rained this evening and we had to take our umbrellas. Grandma had our Jacket potatoes ready when we got on plus a mountain of Coleslaw which was yummy. Grandad has got a cold.
Once the kids went to bed we sat down and watched The Great British Bake Off with some homemade Creamy Toffee Muffins that I made using Werthers.
