Lunch

Up at an unwelcome early hour as the fence guys were due back. Brief confusion about why TallGirl and Mr B were up until I remembered TallGirl was off to London for a show <jazz hands emoji>. If only I had remembered that our neighbours were off on the same flight to the Harry Potter Studios Mr B could have been saved his airport trip.

The fence guys didn’t show up so I gardened: prepping the gravel garden, tidying the path digging and sorting the hen run. Mr B dealt with shopping then produced this rather yummy lunch from the left over humongous steaks I bought yesterday.

CarbBoy, meanwhile, jujitsu’d then lunched with a birthdaying friend. It was his first basketball match of the season this afternoon. They are a scratch side of 14-15 year olds, playing after one practice in a 17 and under league: they were unlucky to lose by one point. Once their (calm, competent) coach has a few more sessions with them all will be well.

Home then to deliver CarbBoy for pizza with the birthday boy, while I wine barred with the mum. Very nice it was too. The boys were not impressed to arrive to meet us and find their history teacher at the next table (we hadn’t spotted her in civvies). Home early to keep Mr B company.

To amuse the bunnies today I gave them a brown paper bag with some spinach in. Predictably they started eating the bag. When we got home from basketball they had cast aside the spinach and were tossing the bag around. Now (11.30pm) they are finally slumming it by eating the spinach.
