Huffle got up ridculously early and played 18 holes of golf at the local course very quickly - all before 9am. He had to stop half way through because of a skunk crossing his tee. I wonder which was stinkier?
The boys went to school on the bus this morning and I went off to knitting. RudeTrude had made the boys brownies because she missed them. We also had some brownies while we were knitting. There were only three of us today so plenty of knitting got done. I left, did a spot of shopping and came home and had lunch with Huffle outside on the front looking at our lovely garden.
Huffle got on with his work while I pottered around the garden. I planted onions, courgettes and moved a couple of lettuces, basil and rosemary into the herb garden and then knitted in the sunshine whilst waiting for the boys.
Look at the size of those Brownies!
Once the boys came home we had Friday mad swimming rush and Huffle went off to Springfest at the school. Once again, Huffle found complete disorganisation. No table, no one to help, no-one to tell him what they wanted him to do. Luckily he just found a table and got on with it. He stayed on it all the time by himself (including running another game) until we turned up at 7pm to help. It was a very very popular game and the school kids spent a lot of money on it. The prizes were sweets which cost nothing like the amount they were spending on the game - very silly!!
I watched the boys swim. Smallest had half a lesson and then the played water polo. He didn't pass his level 7 this time. Basically he can do all the strokes but he needs to be bigger, stronger and older. His teacher was still very impressed with him.
Small finished his Life Saving lesson and passed three badges due to the fact that he is a strong swimmer. His teacher said normally they would have to do the class three times, but she doesn't see the point when they know their stuff and they swim well. Unfortunately there are no classes available for him to do now until he is 12 so he may have to go into Swim Club for now. Still, he has the Summer to think about it.
We drove to school for the last hour of the Springfest, bought a slice of cold pizza each and I helped Huffle with the game while the boys ran off to find their friends. Small found his and went off to the laser tag and Smallest went on a pony ride with his friend and then watched a cow poo for Cow Patty Bingo!
Small briefly played at his friends house while Huffle and I packed away and then we all came home.
