Hazy Days...

Thursday our school for our youngest 3 was used as a polling station for the local elections and Friday we had a teachers inset day!  Talk about a lovely long weekend!!

Thursday I painted a wall in the dining, behind the big Ikea unit.  It hasn't been painted in years and just needed a freshen up.  Moving the unit used to be a bit of a hassle; this time was easy though as I'd spent a couple of mornings earlier in the week tidying toys and the general crud that had built up on it :)

We then decided that as it was a sunny day {and who knows how many of these we might get} that we would have yet another mini BBQ...so a quick trip to get a few supplies was needed.  

H's girlfriend popped in and we spent till it was chilly out on the patio nattering and giggling.  Well the girls nattered and giggled I was happy enough listening to them and refereeing the younger ones whilst spraying a couple of baskets {the boys were indoors watching Chelsea}.

Unbelievably we awoke to MORE sunshine on Friday...

I mean really, really, sunny and clear blue skies weather.  

After avoiding the washing for a day I had to show willing and spent the most part of the morning sorting/putting laundry away {I really can't be bothered some days to do it and it piles up far too quickly}  

Sheets on the line I was feeling quite virtuous {I even washed the Dyson filter} and decided that we needed a trip to the park...and what the heck lets throw a picnic together whilst we're at it.  

We headed out to a local park and as it was still really a school day it was lovely and quiet.  

We spread our little blanket out, nibbled the yummy fresh baguette, slurped our squash then made best use of the space with a kick about before heading to the play area.

Last year I wasted too many of the few sunny/nice days we had doing chores and I'm determined this year to try my dandiest not to to that again.

Who knows what the weekend will bring...

hopefully more sunshine!

Happy Weekending
