On a slightly lighter note (understatement) I thought I'd share with you what my average Monday is all about.
Since I retired I have looked after O each Monday while his mammy goes to work.
It certainly takes some energy - and I always find that I sleep like a log on Monday evenings - so it's worth that alone!
I usually let O decide our itinerary for the day which can be anything from a day at the seaside or swimming baths to merely feeding the ducks at the nearby lake.
Yesterday was spent painting and I thought you might like to see how things ended up.I thought I was ever so organised - four plastic pots of different coloured paint and four individual paint brushes- nothing could be easier! As the photos show the end result was somewhat different.
The rest of the afternoon-up until teatime and then his collection by his daddy was spent watching 'Mickey Mouses Christmas Party' (in the middle of August). It's a great DVD but after 1000 showings it tends to aggravate more than entertain. O never seems to notice - he loves it. With a new baby due at the end of the year G and I are looking forward to double the pleasure. The only problem on the horizon is that O is insisting that the new baby - whatever sex- is to be called Caroline - for reasons known only to himself!!
