Sunday nugget 23rd February

House: creation of new bathroom begins... Ordered, room excavated, tools in place. I wonder when how long we are going to have building happen in our home. I am sure the scent of brick dust will be in my nostrils for quite some time. My brother visited this week, which was just wonderful. Haven't seen him in ages. Kids loved it. We went to Higger Tor and a fabulous new buffet restaurant in town called cosmo. It was thoroughly enjoyed by all. Monday : at friends for a play, bit tricky due to a few issues with understanding boundaries and need for respect for property. Tuesday : highfields adventure playground. Kids had a wonderful time with friends, and made a house from scrap. Wednesday : dancing and chatsworth visit, open for half term, so pretty busy, but not unbearable, plus trailer ride a big hit /splash. And autumn held a tarantula and a bearded dragon. And of course there were Guinea pig cuddles, with Minnie and twinkle. Thursday : tidying then Gymnastics, where Evan almost did his first unaided reverse turn on the bars, and concentrated really well throughout, despite distractions. Then Drew came and we enjoyed a very blowy Higger Tor. Friday : we planned on going to ice skating, but when we arrived it looked super busy, so we decided against it, change of plan was Kelham island museum, but it was closed, so we went to millennium galleries instead. It was lovely listening to the sound map, and evan pointed out that even though we didn't get to go to Kelham island we kind of were through our ears, as the sounds were featured on it.
