An amusing story from The Telegraph today about a sighting of the Loch Ness Monster viewed from Apple Maps. The story mentioned that the last reported sightings in 2013 included three false reports. One was a duck, one was a wave and the final one wasn't even seen at Loch Ness. Hilarious.
MrBasement and his son arrived this morning to fix our roof. It needed new flashings. I didn't realise that meant they had to take all the felt and shingles off the roof too. Anyway they got on with it and by the time we got back from our walk, it was all done. Super, now the basement can be finished.
After breakfast, we got the bikes out and managed to fit both Small's and Smallest's bikes in. We headed to the Lake again but this time from the other end. It was nice and warm and the walk started with a short stroll to the park, a play and then a walk along the trail, by the water, past a lot of interesting characters including the man who walked at 45* with two cross country sticks suitable for a seven foot man, a bunch of Chinese kids (one who nearly crashed into me because he was showing off cycling with one hand) and adults which prompted this response from Smallest:- "I like to say hello to Chinese people to see if they say hello back in Chinese".
Smallest found a worm, called him Bob, wanted it to be his pet and was finally persuaded to put it in a plant!
At the point where we stopped last time, we sat on our bench in the sunshine and ate our Easter Cakes and had a drink, before heading off to another park where we played Tick (or is it called Tig?). We walked/cycled back and ended up doing 9km in all. Brilliant. We had burnt (earnt) enough calories to go and have fish and chips so that is what we did.
Then we came home and sat in the garden, played football and did a bit more grass moving for the path in the front garden. Small went off and played with his friend who lives at the back of us and Smallest and Huffle went to the Tire and bought two plants
The boys had their tea in front of TV and Huffle and I went through the Summer box, found some new clothes for Smallest (that used to be Small's) and got the kids to try on last years sandals, crocs etc.
Everyone is tired. Everyone should sleep well tonight. All bedding has been changed from Winter to Summer quilts and sheets etc. That's it - I am officially declaring it Spring. Smallest and I have pink faces from catching the sun - oh dear - we are so delicate.
