Gentle Easter Saturday


Today it rained and rained. I had a long afternoon sleep (after only managing to clock up four hours last night) while Big-P took Amelia shopping for a new Charlie and Lola book. They came home pink-cheeked and cheerful and made pizza together for dinner. There was flour and mess everywhere, but no matter – some kind of fresh domestic harmony has set in these last few days and life feels good. The pizza was great.

    Oh I bought Charlie and Lola on DVD (series one ABC shop)for the kids for Easter. It was part of the “treasure” that they had to find with the pirate map I made for them..I mean the Easter Bunny left for them. heehee So I have had Charlie and Lola on non stop for two days…lucky I LOVE them myself! Happy Easter to you all!
