We're on mid-term break, and it was much needed after a stressful first half term and trying to settle in.
My comedian Eddie decided to wear several of my hats as well as goggles. MadHatter Eddie.
On Monday Sasha was staying at his residential place overnight, and Eddie and I went to the cinema at 5pm to watch Johnny English 3. It had bad reviews, but don't be put off by them, it was actually funnier than I expected.
It's not a sophisticated film, but then you wouldn't expect that of Johnny English anyway.
I've been reading online about the ladybirds that there is an influx of them at the moment. Apparently they have STDs, now that's something I never knew. This could be a totally innocent ladybird.
On Wednesday I visited the Polish deli and couldn't resist buying a big slice of soured cream jelly cake.
My boys enjoyed this wobbly cake.
I've been waiting for Matt Haig's latest book The truth pixie, and being pestering our local Waterstone's, asking every day if it's out yet. I pre-ordered it and bought my copy, then was pretty peeved with myself, as it was at half price on amazon.
Eddie's school had an Inset day on Friday, while Sasha's didn't. Once Sasha left in his school transport, Eddie and I went into town to have breakfast at Bill's. We haven't been there before.
The pancakes with berries ans syrup were lovely. And I got a huge pot of tea.
Today we wandered from shop to shop, looking at Christmas gifts. I usually buy Christmas jumpers for Eddie and myself, but we didn't see any that we liked. My last year's jumper is still quite all right, though I have been wearing it a lot, including taking it to Cornwall in August.
I had a 20% off voucher for M&S, and we bought a Star Wars bathrobe, as his old Spiderman one is way too short for him now.
I came close to putting the heating on. The mornings are so cold.
ReplyDeleteEddie with all the hats did make me chuckle.
That cake and the pancakes look amazing!
Thank you, Kim! Eddie wants to go to Bill's again, though he'll have to wait.
DeleteThis is the right time of the year to buy Christmas jumpers, we had terrible trouble last year in November.
ReplyDeleteLove the hast and goggles picture, made me smile.
We have had a large amount of ladybirds here as well lately.
Thank you, Elaine! I even looked online, but so far haven't seen anything I like, I don't want anything too garish or jolly, or with slogans related to gin and spirits. :)
Deletethe jelly cake and pancakes look fab, love the mad hatter look. I too have had the heating on this week
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzanne! It gets warmer by the afternoon, but the mornings are chilly. Thank you for trying again with the commenting, I appreciate you coming back and commenting. mwah!
DeleteI like that picture with Eddie and the hats. Those pancakes look delicious. I'm like that if I see something I've bought a lot cheaper elsewhere - find it really annoying.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Erica! I'm reconciled now with paying the full price for this book, Eddie and I enjoyed it very much.
DeleteMy heating is on and off all the time at the moment. Love Eddie and his unique style, what a dude. Those pancakes look lovely #365
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mary! Ours is on and off too, though today was pretty cold all day.
DeleteI haven't tried Matt Haig books: would they be suitable for my 8 year old son? #project365
ReplyDeleteWe read them last year, when Eddie was 7, though they do have some sensitive themes. In both first books children become orphaned in tragic circumstances. The stories are very imaginative, we loved them.
