No Ball Games

What a beautiful day to have off work.  BB was off school as it was an in service day.  I spent the morning in the garden weeding, tidying and planting up some pots.  BB was glued to his x-box!  We have had a busy few days and I think he needed some chill out time.

The cupboards were bare, so I took him out for lunch.  He didn’t request his usual haunt, so I took him somewhere I wanted to try out for lunch.  It was a hit.  He enjoyed his lunch, and mine too!  He finished off with a chocolate brownie, which he declared to be the best chocolate brownie he had ever eaten.  He already has plans for his next visit!

We bought a few more packets of seeds and wandered down and round by the river to check out the cygnets, heading back through St Mary’s Pleasance to the park.  BB met a couple of friends there and played for a while, but he was too hot, so we headed home.

I had hoped to sit in the garden reading my book, but only manged about ten minutes of that before I had to head off to a doctor appointment.  My foot/toe saga continues.  I have been prescribed more antibiotics and have been given other options to consider.  We eventually got home after a prolonged wait at the chemist and a supermarket shop.

Tonight I had the choice of PTA work, or work work.  The PTA won, which means I need to get my head down as soon as I am at my desk tomorrow morning.

Looking back at my blips, BB and I have visited St Mary’s Pleasance on this Monday holiday for the past two years - last year  (See extra for the tulips today) and the previous year (see second extra for a similar shot).  BB read the sign as went in – no ball games.  As you can see he paid little attention to the instruction!  You can just see lady Kitty's doocot over the wall.
