Clay

Been another odd day today. Our friends packed up and headed for Brighton and London after breakfast and the boys (and us) were sad to see them go, but glad of more happy memories to keep.

We pottered the rest of the day. Steve busy trying to formulate some business plan, me playing with clay, the boys entertaining themselves for a change. And because I had so much fun with the clay, I decided to make some shortbread too and cut the same shapes out, much to Bean's delight when they came out of the oven!

4.50pm a reminder beeps on our calendar to say we're due out for dinner at 5pm. I should change the reminder notice period really. But so grateful for going out for dinner! The boys got to play with their friends, we had more company (company is good, right now), and are even more challenged in our thinking about "the future" than ever.
