Smallest has made it onto the Rep Football team and is very happy. Smallest has not made it onto the Rep team but has made it to the Development team and if successful, could move to the Rep team next year. Small is happy with this and considering he wasn't able to show his full skills due to his hand, we think this is a fair result. This means we will be doing something every day except for Thursday.
After the boys went to school, Huffle and I drove in separate cars to the rental place to take the Scooby-Doo- Film-Mobile back. When we got home there was a strong smell of perfume in the air and Grandad was in the garden continuing with his compost project. Apparently he couldn't find the Mosquito spray and so liberally sprayed himself with Grandmas perfume and her Skin So Soft. I went down the garden with the proper mosquito repellent waving and shouting woohooo woohooo. I told him he smelled beautiful and his skin was glowing. Silly Grandad. Grandma made dinner. Tonight we had Cottage Pies. Grandad is doing a Pie Tour - this is his seventh Pie (not that today is a proper pie).
I helped to dig out and move a couple of pallets - we found a white porcelain Cardinal which we are leaving down in compost corner with Pauline. We also found a couple of tiny tiles, enough to tile Pauline's bathroom if she had one. The new compost corner was proving to be very big indeed and while Grandad was working away he suddenly had a great idea for next year. He wants to divide the big one into two making us three compost areas in all. I don't think he wants to finish the project but wants it to evolve forever. Much later (while I was in the forest I heard he had a problem with staples and Huffle sent him off to the Beer Store/Co-op for more as he brought the wrong ones back the other day. He also brought the wrong ones again and was sent back but they didn't have any. Oh dear what a lovely smelling Wally!).
After lunch I met NoCustard at the forest and we walked for about 90 minutes. It was spectacularly beautiful and we chatted all the way.
On the way home I did a food shop. The boys were already back and Small helped me to put away while Smallest did his homework until his piano lesson. During the piano lesson, a big shelf in the pantry fell down taking with it a huge bag of porridge, cornflour which landed on Grandads head (funny), jars of spaghetti and Smallest's bag (which is probably the reason it fell down considering how many full bottles of water wer in there). Then the smoke alarm went off and one of Smallest's bottles kept jumping off the kitchen counter. I apologised for the disturbance.
After a lovely dinner, we attempted to try some different fruits. Small is struggling to eat enough fruit at the moment so we were helping to find him some he does like. We had two retches from Smallest (who eats plenty of fruit normally) and found that Mangoes are difficult to cut but an orange cut up is better to eat than a peeled one. Grandad complained later that he had too much fruit.
Huffle took Smallest to Cubs and was pulled aside by one of the leaders who was told by his daughter (in Smallest's class that Smallest was being bullied. We think it is the same incidents we already know about but are going to check). They did a Scavenger Hunt. I took Small to Scouts where he went on a night hike in the forest. He wasn't too enamoured about it but it I'll be good for him (especially as he was full of fruit he he).
The rest of us played cards.
