SO football practice it is, then lunch and park

DH has been doing his family tree for ages. We are constantly discovering dead Germans!

I have watered everything with Tomorite
Picked up playstuff from garden
Rung a cousin
Ds has been allowed downstairs and is watching Step Inside

Waves to everyone else

We have been for a picnic on the moors and dodged the rain showers. Twas very nice nad sort of enid bytony with the flask and table and chairs out the back of the car.

feeling a bit frazzled now.
Hope all with flu type things are getting better

Well done galen for even just getting through the weekend.

Groucy Make sure you do take things easy. DS1 has started on Lego Starwars - need to find inexpensive ones for his reward charts.

We had a lovley sunday Roast and have played lego with both the boys, also done some colouring, playing in the garden in between showers and a little ironing

swanriver What a wonderful mix you have! Hey, we might be related! Whereabouts do your Welsh lot come from (roughly)? Mine are south (the valleys mainly) and my English lot are Black Country folk. I feel very at home in a funny way when I go there and visit churches and graveyards where my ancestors were married and buried.

go Look after yourself and I hope you're feeling much better again by tomorrow. Finding dead people is one of the drawbacks of family tree research. I reckon that if I had a drink problem, I'd probably have something special to celebrate every day of the year with so many relatives, a birth anniversary, christening anniversary etc. It would be "Bottoms up!" and "Iechyd da!" for the Welsh!

galen I second TM. Well done on getting through the w/e. I hope your dh is okay. I'm sure he's finding it pretty tough going.

Right. I was going to type up some meeting notes this w/e but I haven't done it. I have, though, finished the ironing pile all bar the load which is on the washing line atm. My NEW RESOLUTION folks will be to do some ironing at least every other day. Feel free to ask me if you wish. I won't fib on this thread and if I know someone has asked then I'll feel compelled to do it before coming on and posting, so you'll be helping me if you do occasionally ask. Dh has a wardrobe full of work shirts and I think I've pretty much run out of hangers! See you tomorrow. Nos da pawb.

Had a v. peaceful and pleasant day with ds2 at home playing in garden, pairs etc.
Others had a fabulous day at family meetup, so all home in excellent mood
Mum and Dad dropped back with dh for a cup of tea, but all too briefly, they were knackered.

Did loads of tidying
Some edge trimming of lawn with scissors
Laundry
fried potatoes x 3
Watched Hp with kds
No signs of illness in other kids thank goodness.

Your picnic sounds beautiful and atmostpheric TM what clever boys to be able to do Lego already (mne couldn't at that age and I still can't...)
Wendy, hello
Everyone else I've missed hello hope your Sunday was excellent.
Wolf, hello

Ah Simply, Merthyr Tydvll (spelt that wrong I know) but they left to make their fortunes. I will say no more (partly because not very well up on that branch) I have 35 first cousins alone on both sides of amily.
Ironing, a great improvement to situation by relocating ironing board to bedroom and right next to wardrobe. Dh occasionally trips over it, but still. May do some now

psst we are over here
