When we got home last night from our meal, poor Grandma and Grandad were sitting talking to each other (actually they weren't they were watching a blank television screen because they didn't know how to work it and they didn't want to disturb Small who was in bed). I forgot to give them the Moo instructions on how to work general things when we are not there.
We went out for Brunch today. Grandad had Eggs Benedict which he said was really good. Grandma and I had Belgium Waffles, fruit and Maple Syrup. Smallest and Huffle had omelette and Smallest had a triple decker Grilled cheese. It was very nice and relaxed and got us ready for our trip to Port Perry for the boys Piano Recital.
Grandma, Huffle and Small drove off in one car and Grandad, Smallest and I in another. We ended up going different ways because I didn't adhere to the No Left Turn and then followed my GPS, whereas Huffle went the way he knew. However, part of the way, Smallest remembered that he needed his Piano Books and we headed for home. It was a good job we did as we did need them. Eventually we all met up in Port Perry and wandered off to the new Brewery there to have a look. We stopped also for ice cream and walked down to the lake to eat them. In the sun it was lovely but the wind was still quite cool.
I left Huffle, Grandma and Grandad by the lake and took the boys to their Piano Teachers house where they practised on her proper piano. At 2pm the rest of the crowd arrived. Six children (five playing). Twelve adults including the teacher and her husband. Chairs were put out for the kids to sit on to wait to play and chairs for the audience. We had a program and the kids started playing. They all did very well and Small and Smallest played excellently (they have only been playing for six months). After the recital, applause, bows and curtsies, we were invited into the kitchen where we had sandwiches, cakes, tea and pop.
We all chatted for a while and ate some nice cakes, said our thank yous and then left. It was quite bizarre but we were very proud of the kids. Their teacher asked if they wanted a lesson tomorrow (I thought they would say no because they have put in a lot of practise recently) and they said they did want one.
We came home, played football, had a cuppa and went into the garden and did some 'light duties' while I pointed at what needed doing. My shoulder is much worse than yesterday and is hurting doing certain things. I went in the shower and put serious heat on it which helped to ease it a little. Grandad and Huffle dug in some Sheep Manure and ash from the fire pit and then Huffle and I planted Leeks, Red Onions and Spinach and then we filled the old tin bath and sowed lettuce and rocket.
After dinner the boys watched TV and when the kids went to bed, we watched the pomposity of Monty Don (borrowed word from Huffle) doing Gardeners World.
Huffle read in the news that a Polar Plume is set to blow in from the North Pole this week in Britain sending temperatures plunging to minus temperatures. Oh dear!
