Oliver arrived at 11am today. We have planned to look after him for weeks as his mummy and daddy are going away for a couple of days by themselves.
He is staying with us for 2 sleeps and they will pick him up sometime on Saturday.
He went for a walk with grandad to buy a new rubber ring for the vacuum cleaner before lunch as the old one had snapped.
After lunch we went to to visit Jayne and Leos new house at Tarleton. Roland needed to measure a floor board that has broken in Ambers bedroom and I wanted to pick some plums and the wind fall apples before the wasps got at them.
Oliver went to 'help' grandad measure the floor board and when that was over he came down and helped me pick up the apples and put the plums in the bag.
After that we went down to the canal to see the ducks - we forgot some bread- and the barges and boats. on the way home there were some big yawns from the back seat and from me.
After tea I had to go to bed intending to get up for Olivers bed time but I didn't wake until 10 mins to 10, so I missed it all. I love bath time as well.
Jayne and Leo are moving to Tarleton this weekend and I am really going to miss them.
I decided not to add a photo of Oliver today for the prompt.
Thriving
The other day Jayne brought Amber and Leo over to see me but I didn't want to give them the virus so I stayed in bed.
Roland took these photos so I could see what Amber was up to.
Such a funny photo. It's lovely to see what the kids are up to !
ReplyDeletegreat photo. Hope the ducks didnt mind the lack of bread...we often forget the bread too.
ReplyDeleteNot read back but hope you are better soon if it was a virus? Was going to ring today (my first day at home) but if you have Oliver today, maybe leave it...we'll see
ReplyDeleteHad a fab holiday and nearly back to normal here!!
Soon be Sept and we will see you and Roland again? xxx
A spacesuit? I love these pictures - they remind me of Rene Russo in a movie with Dustin Hoffman - Outbreak.

As a child I played the designers - assembling things. I became a mechanical engineer. Now of course I work another. But I think there are things in our childhood that show the way.
What a great mum and grandma you are.. and Roland of course xx
