After a terrible nights sleep (possibly only half a night) and rainfall all through the night, I left Huffle and the kids and went off to work with strict instructions to be quiet and good (more to the boys not Huffle). On the way (which isn't far) there was a huge snow and wind storm (some would say a blizzard). Luckily it didn't last long and after an hour in the greenhouse, it was baking hot and we had to have the door open. It wasn't warm outside though at all though we didn't need coats.
Today I repotted over 500 Heliopsis Heleanthoides (a yellow daisy) for the Portlands which is a piece of land in Torornto where it has nuclear waste in so nothing can be built there. They are replanting wild flowers over it. MrsM had brought Hobnobs from the British shop for me to have with coffee and she sent some honey straws home for the boys, plus the end of the hobnobs that we hadn't eaten. I rang home to check everything was in order and actually went home just after 12 midday.
We all had lunch together and then I took the kids off to the gadget shop to buy Small a tablet. The one we bought at the weekend for Smallest's birthday was so good that Small counted his money and found he had enough to buy himself one. (The IPad which we gave him broke and refuses to charge). The tablet was 25% off plus an extra 10% because the box was open. Small was very pleased. He has decided he will wait until Smallest's birthday so that they get them at the same time.
We went in one other shop and got some petrol and stopped off at the Nature Walk again to release some energy. However, we didn't have any coats and it was very cold next to the lake so we didn't stay long. Just long enough to watch the ducks and take photos.
These (Above) are Smallest's photos.
At home the boys did a couple of small chores, played with their Lego and went on their gadgets (not their new ones yet).
This evening MrBasement came round to quote for a few small jobs we are thinking of doing in the house.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRANDMA FOR TODAY.
