Only 4 of us turned up. We went and stood in the woods, 2m away from each other, and sang for an hour. We all came away feeling much better for it

4 is better than none!
we were in and out of the garden all day, but I did take an hour to make a hoodie out of the artist's fabric.
 I would have loved to have spent more time in there but small people were having non of it.
 I am lucky that I have such a huge garden.
although it is sectioned off my first section is still double the size of DS's GFs
Time for some shut eye.
 I sent DS to his GFs tonight as they had been here but her ex was being a proverbial Richard, so I didn't want her and the girls home alone.
 I think I am getting adjusted to being a awake early and going to bed early now.

Did you not post a picture of the hoodie?

I put it on my own page but not the business one.
 I used the wrong phone to take the picture. But I will copy and paste it some how.
although its a man's large one so it doesn't look that brilliant on my size 12 dummy! 

I have small person lying across me watching Ben and Holy, he is using me as a cushion but that may be ok for him but I keep getting elbows in the chest and tummy! Not that comfortable. 

He's been up since 5.40 this morning although he only woke at 11.30 so for me that meant I only had one interruption to my sleep.
dgs1 has only been awake 10 minutes. He came in singing at the top of his voice. Which is better than the usual stomping around.
dgd and DS worked on tidying up DGDs shed, put down the old carpet, set up her drum kit, strung out lights and put her chair cubes down as a bed. So she slept in there with the heater from my workshop. 

That's my alarm
time to properly face the day.

I'm glad you are getting some time to be creative, it is clearly good for your soul.

Yes, 4 singers was better than nothing and I'm glad I went. We attracted a bit of attention from the dog walkers and I know several of them went away smiling, which always gives me a warm fuzzy feeling (no, I hadn't wet myself!  ).

So DS will not be home for the next two weeks as his GFs children developed a cough and temperature yesterday and he was over there. ( of course he was!)
so that's my small amount of help gone.
 I really will find out if I can cope with these children now won't I.
Today DgD has been helping me plant some seeds, and been practising her drums !
Interesting times.
this weather is a good help though.
 I am going to sit back outside with a cuppa while I can.
no sewing today though as dS had the baby monitor in his car!! So I couldn't take advantage of dgs2s sleep time.

i believe in my ability to figure things out! That will be tested won't it!

Never a dull moment in your life.
Hope you can manage.
Wish I was nearer to give you a hand  xx

I think you will be fine without DS. Some things will even be easier.

Take it as a practice run for when DS moves out. Although then I appreciate he would probably come by occasionally to help, which he's not able to do now.
