- entertained my small boys and a friends small girl (I taught them how to make paper doll chains, both boys turned their upside down and pointed out funnels, wheels, pistons and cylinders)
- cleaned up after small boys and girl
- went for a token run - my 20 minute beach and back 'mental health' run which is actually the only kind of run I do these days.
- roasted four kinds of root veggies for winter roasty salad
- sewed the guts on the squashed rat bookmark
- ate yesterdays self saucing orange and almond pudding with ice cream while watching Indiana Jones with Baggins.
Poor old Baggins spent the entire day water blasting the drive way so we can walk down it without abseiling gear.
In older news I have been sewing. First it was going to be a wall hanging - but after a few swerves along the way it is a double sided cushion cover. I did the tardis first from this awesome pattern http://www.sewhooked.org/paper_piecing/img/paper_piecing/edited/6_inch_paperpiece_tardisa.jpg which was my first introduction to paper piecing (instant addict). The Darlek was easy peasy after the tardis!
We took the boys part way up Mount Te Kinga last weekend. The boys had some good exploring in nature time. I had to do some back tracking towards the end in order to retrieve Oscar's possum which he had ejected from the back pack.
Here is said possum working it's magic.
Oscar Miro Norris with a Miro berry :-)
And Leo brought Zac Power along - first non-Tintin reading we've seen for quite some time.
