A sentence a day in May


 Day 1 Friends came over for Sunday lunch, they moved about an hour away so we don't see them as often as we did when they were local so it was nice to have them come over for the afternoon

Day 2 Bank Holiday Monday - Family lunch where if you look carefully you will see that Leo has discovered that sticking your tongue out when someone wants to take your photo is very funny (No Sophie or Olive as they had been invited to a baby shower!)


Day 3 Rosie came for the day, we popped to the shops to buy a greeting card and it ended up costing me over £10 as the shop also sold newspapers and magazines and we could not possibly leave without buying one all about princesses and a Pokemon one for Leo

Day 4 Max came for the day - along with Kiki the koala who is on loan from his nursery as a reward for being a good boy last week

Day 5 No Zumba - I'd like to say I did some other exercise instead but it wouldn't be true!

Day 6 Haircut followed by pizza and a glass of wine in the sunshine, followed by an evening of babysitting L&R - and Daisy (who was the most trouble to calm down and get to sleep)



Day 7 Booked a 4 day UK break for September, taking Coco with us for her annual holiday.

Day 8 My sister's birthday! A lovely sunny day so spent much of the day tidying up the garden

Day 9 Caught up with the housework - not my favourite way to spend a day!

Day 10 Had Rosie here today, she set up a corner in the lounge as a school with her as the teacher (obviously!) and three baby dolls as the pupils, so cute.

Day 11 Paul did his volunteer day at the park so it was just me and Max here today

Day 12 Zumba this morning, Paul went to visit a friend who lives about an hour away and stayed overnight 

Day 13 Pizza lunch with friends today - why does drinking wine midday always make me sleepy in the afternoon?  

Day 14 Memorial gathering for an ex work colleague who died last year - was good to chat to her sons and tell them just how lovely she was to work with and how she remained a good friend even after we both left the company

Day 15 Rachel and family came for Sunday lunch but left early as Leo and Rosie had been invited to a birthday party - Max came out in chicken pox!

Day 16 Visited a garden centre in the morning and spent the afternoon planting out the bits that we bought - a good day's work.

Day 17 Had Rosie for the day

Day 18 Dropped Coco at my sister's as a practice run for when we are away, we went to Cressing Temple barns



Day 19 A sunny day spent in the garden

Day 20 Jon, Max and Olive came for lunch then we popped over to Rachel's where Paul was helping James clear a tree which had fallen into their garden (one of the hazards of living near a wooded area!

Day 21 Went to my cousin's home with my sister and brother in law for our annual family gathering!

Day 22 Started working on my new crochet project, the pattern is being released one week at a time

Day 23 Only had Rosie for half a day - no water at all in the evening due to a massive burst pipe in our area

Day 24 Water is back on! Looked after Max today

Day 25 Did a nice lot of crochet and worked in the garden in the sunshine

Day 26 Picked up my new car !

Day 27 Got up to date with the first week of the crochet a long


Day 29 Olive has chicken pox! Had Rachel and family over for lunch - lots of leftovers as Jon and family should have been there too!

Day 30 Had a nice drive out to Saffron Walden in my new car, started work on Week 2 of the crochet project

Day 31 Went into town in the morning - lots of shops decorated for the Platinum Jubilee this weekend, day off from childminding as Rachel wasn't working today!

So there we are at the end of another month - all that is needed now is my little video sharing 1 Second Everyday

You always have such a busy month with family and friends, child minding, Zumba and crochet. We have also booked a UK break for September

Wine & pizza in the sunshine, plenty of family time and a new car. Girl, you've got it made!

Congrats on the new car! Sorry to hear the kids had chicken pox; I got chicken pox in high school and while I thankfully had a very mild case I do remember being quite itchy.

Oh, the faces the Grands learn to start making when picture taking is going on. The pizza looks really tasty. I've not known of kids to get chicken pox these days. Daughter had them but none of the Grands have had them. Nice car. Karen
