Morning

Fabulour cakes - hope you have a fantastic birthday LameWolf.

Bright and sunny here this morning. Student wanted to make her own way to class this morning so she was sitting looking out the window watching for when the others got of the bus. Well she must have missed them as at 905 her found her and DD painting nails so they have ran off together to get there.

I am showered breakfasted and dressed and need to load the car for the tip. Was hoping my Dobby would help but he's still on uni time and didnt stir much when I suggested he get up to help.

Oh RIP Mowhee x 2, they obviously took to the cheese and cranberry surprise.

Yesterday just managed dailies & a little gardening as had lots of errands to run.

Today brings hospital for DS1 eyes & swimming lessons and it's day 3 of kids' ice skating course (Day 2 for DS2). DS2 fell over 3 times during his 1st lesson yesterday and announced he was giving up. I tried to buy some sallopetts to cushion his bottom but the shop has sent all skiing stuff back to the warehouse so I have sewn some dance kneepads into some jogging trousers in hope that he will try again.


Going to do HH run around to get ready, plus S&S's etc.

I ice skate as part of an adult group, and I'm sorry to say, falling over is a part of it, until your muscles learn to cope with the newness of what you're asking them to do. Falling over "properly" is a good thing to learn ie. try to stay fairly relaxed when you're doing it... not easy I know, but you fall "harder" when tense.
I know several skaters (all men oddly enough) who wear skateboard padding on their elbows and knees under their clothes. It's fairly un-noticable, and easy to get hold of, and might help your DS2. Which rink is he learning at? It's truly an exhilirating fun sport, and I hope he continues with it, I know the enjoyment I've got from it, once you're over the first hurdle.
ETA. Day three can sometimes be a "tired" day when you're doing a week long camp. You get your second wind day 4. If he's sore, then hot, then cold water alternated can really help the muscle pain, as can the off ice warm ups, and stretches he'll (hopefully) be getting at the beginning and end of the day.

Ok, I'm off for a HHC, I've got to battle down this list. Anyone want to join me? HHC Now?

[STRIKE]wash hair[/STRIKE] had shower

Thanks MrsC

Where do you keep the kids' lunchboxes when they're not in use? Mine seem to travel around the kitchen, the conservatory and the DR?
