Today was a wonderfully simple Saturday with Gioia and the 'renters'. Us Benade babes watered the garden, some of us fully clothed (me) some of us not so much (Gioia). She tries her best to take control of the powerful hose but manages to drench herself from head to toe, so off came the pants...and the panties. She was wearing a pink tracksuit top and hoodie and socks and slippers and that was it...I laughed so hard when I came around the corner that Isla had had to hold onto my spinal column for support. Since Johan left Bean has been a bit up and down, she is demonstrating her frustration levels more than usual by grabbing object and either throwing them, hitting them or kicking them, then storming off to a corner. I hope this is a phase and not a sign of a future bar brawler?
My friend Surene and her family are getting ready to finally move into their brand spanking new house, so she text me a wonderful glimse of Sadie's room that she had wallpapered in personalised wall paper. This of course struck a chord with me and I began to finalise vinyl for Gioia's sunny sweet room. See below, I have sent the first stage in for print and I cant wait for Nick to call so I can pick up and apply.
This morning at ten I attended a creative cell and we made felt brooches. The ladies around the table were talking kindle kindle kindle! I have a kindle but up until now was not very interested in learing how to operate it, so I leant it to my friend Julie who reads as if its an olympic sport. I am going to pick it up from her this week, so lets see how up to the minute I too can be!
Back to school on Monday for Gioia, she has been at home with us for a month. No more piggy pjama days for now, we will be up and off with the early bird...nothing like routine to kick start your day.
