After the kids went to school and Huffle went to work, Moo and I had breakfast and then went off for a walk in the forest with NoCustard. It was fine rain (the sort that wets you right through) and quite foggy again. It was still beautiful and we walked for just over an hour. It was very hard work as the path was slippy and the thicker snow was too hard to walk in. We had a really good walk and were all shattered once we finished. Plus we were wet through, but we decided to still go to the Supermarket and pick up some stuff.
We didn't get home till 1ish and we were starving and weary so we quickly put the shopping away and made lunch and sat and watched half of The Missing.
As we are in the final week of school and very close to Christmas, there is plenty of baking to be done, so Moo and I made a start. We made flapjack and banana loaves. The flapjack was a bit squishy but tasted good and I forgot one of the bananas in the loaves and then they stuck in their pans! Moo made pastry which made her swear lots but she made some lovely mince pies and jam tarts. Next I made some ginger muffins and ginger loaves. Some of these will be for us and some for the teachers, we will decide on Thursday. At some point whilst things were in the oven, we finished The Missing.
When the boys came home we went out again to the library where everyone got new books, got rained on and then came home. Smallest got on with his Maths Computer work and Small made Choclate Brownies for his pot luck party tomorrow. He also informed me that he needed his Secret Santa present for tomorrow!!! Luckily I had some things in the present box that we could use and Small and Moo wrapped it up.
We made a roast dinner tonight which created far too much washing up, too much steam, a too hot kitchen and the smoke alarm going off, however Moo and I invented a new pie called Feleeki Pie. Filo Pastry with leeks, feta cheese, egg and seasoning. Very very yummy. Dinner was late because the potatoes wouldn't roast and we ended up leaving lots so I guess we will be eating that tomorrow.
Smallest and I tried to play one of his hard pieces on the piano and got so far and then had to give up. It's been a really long day and I shall be very happy to go to bed tonight.
