Well, yesterday's adult evening social was both affirming and supportive and, in addition, featured nutella cake but I very nearly didn't make it you see we swapped cars on Sunday so TDO could take the trio to Fishers Farm whilst I gymed and did my board meeting but somehow, accidentally, I knocked on the interior light and flattened the battery. The AA were fab though and came and sorted it all out very quickly, so speedily that I wasn't even late!
The daughter of the host told me a great story about a little friend of hers who hides bogeys at the back of her draw!
If you don't already I can really endorse the evening home ed adult socials. I guess if your children are older and you have more free time perhaps you feel your cup of support is full but for me the chance to chat and catch up without looking over my shoulder and share experiences and ideas whilst finishing sentences is very welcome.
S, 7, & O, 3, were wide awake when I returned home. S had made 10 or so origami cats in my absence and O was occupied with his green side blue side dinosaur jigsaw.
E, 5, returned home this morning with Grandma and Grandie and we've spent the day together, visiting the allotment, playing scalextric and duplo and this afternoon 5 of us when to nearby Parham House and gardens for a stroll and a play in the maze and Wendy house. It didn't rain and we had the place pretty much to ourselves for an hour or so. Perfect for pretending we lived there! We were a couple of weeks early for the flag irises and alums but the bluebells and poppies were worth seeing.
I guess it will take a while this evening for the sibling dynamic to settle down. E has had a great two nights away and been a star apparently.
New lego shoes came in the post for O, 3, they were as close as I could get to his old ones which are not now current stock of course and he spotted the differences immediately but is, none the less, very pleased with them!

Mmmm nutella cake-I've wanted to make that since I watched it on the Hairy Bikers bakeathon. Love the Lego shoes.
I'm going to look into that nutella cake, I'm intrigued! :)
Recipe is on my fb page. I'll copy it over.
Anyway the nutella cake is called crostata and you can use nutella or jam. So you need 1 egg, 1 egg yolk, 100gr sugar, 100gr butter (softned at room temperature), 250gr self raising flour. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl, use 2/3 of the pastry as you base (you cannot roll it, push with your fingers to make the base) put nutella or jam on top and cover with the rest of the pastry (you can make strips and cross them..or whatever you fancy). Bake in the oven for about 20min at 180.Sit down and eat it! Yum! xxx
