Quiet weekend.

After a quiet weekend, I'm feeling much better (still coughing though), which is good because A is away quite a lot this week. 

K had ballet as usual on Saturday and in the afternoon, M decided to get her bike out for the first time this year and take it to the park, while I went to the library.  As well as taking some books back, I wanted to have another look at the exhibition there.

One of the exhibits.

We had agreed that I would come and find M in the park, but we hadn't said what time, which we really should have done, because as I was leaving the library M was coming to find me a bit upset because I'd been too long.  We had a hug and agreed that next time we would make sure that we arranged a time to meet up.  M had been practising riding her bike one-handed.  After doing some shopping we spent some time at the park, enjoying what felt like the first day of spring.

More signs of spring.

She was doing pretty well  by the time we went home.

Today was Asfordby, with a maths theme.  As usual K & M mostly spent time with their friends, but K did make a polyhedron from a printed out net.  K & M are planning something with their friends C & Z, although we're not allowed to know what it is yet, it did entail K doing quite a lot of writing, which she gave to C.  I think it's some sort of play, but we'll probably find out in due course.

Once we got home, I read quite a lot of the next Gemma book by Noel Streatfeild, having finished the first one at the weekend.  K in particular wants me to read all four of them before we move on to anything else and M is happy with that, so I'm going along with it, although they really aren't anything like as good as some of her other books that we've read.
