And… I’m back!

Hello WordPress family! Hope you are well.

So, despite being away for what feels like ages, I don’t have much to tell you.

Things to report, clever little Lilly can now read all of the first Peter and Jane book. She was so pleased when she understood all these words she was reading meant she was actually reading a book all by herself!

Normally toys and books at our house is ours so all visiting kids get the benefit, being our youngest neice (she’s 4), I let Lilly take the Peter and Jane book home, I expect there would be a Lilly showing her mum, her visiting big sister (Carly) and her brother her wonderful new reading skills 😊

I’ve now received the 2nd book in the series, which I shall give to her on Sunday. Unfortunately, I don’t think much will be done with the new book, Lilly is now back at nursery, and her mum will be tired from work. But you never know.

Sofia still can’t go to school, so her care is still being divided between us and grandparents. Things will be easier for us with her, now we don’t need to keep Lilly entertained anymore, whichever adult isn’t working with Sofia on schoolwork, will now be able to do some proper exercise.

Sofia isn’t going to like this arrangement, Paul is easier on her than I am, I do expect sofia to do her work properly. For the last few weeks with us, I’ve taken Lilly and Paul’s kept on with Fia, for ease and lack of childish tantrums.

Now we can put us first without detriment to Fia’s learning.

Exercise hasn’t been the best, there have been a few good walks, and a visit to my friend who has a rowing machine and Exercise bike.

Food has been mostly good, then sometimes very bad such as a huge pack of crisps last night! Here’s a small snapshot of foods.

This meal does deserve a paragraph! Paul and I try to have a meat free day a week, this burger is vegan and the brand is Naked Glory. This burger was juicy and succulent, it did not have a meaty taste, but was very enjoyable. We’ll definitely be having it again, and trying other things from the Naked Glory range.

A shout out to my Paul! This is the first loaf of bread Paul has made, it was lovely!

I actually have parsley growing now! So sage, basil and parsley. We also bought a couple of strawberry plants, which are doing well, and I’m really excited about my onions, they’re stems are nice and strong!

There is a little bit more news…

This week I made a promise to myself, relating to my health, I had to dedicate 2 days to it, this time was for reading, and as of yesterday, I can say I no longer smoke!

I’m not going to talk about this anymore on this post, but will put a separate post up for anyone interested.

So there you are, that’s my update. I should be able to update continuously now, though probably not every day.
