Last weekend was sunny and not too cold, so we went to Ferry Beach for the first time. The beach is nothing to write home about, but the children had a blast building sandcastles and digging holes. Mark wet himself, so we just took his bottom half off, and hoped his top didn't flip up too much.
This weekend I've been working a lot, so Mike has been a hero taking the children out. Yesterday they did the library, piano lessons, lunch at Bruce's Burritos and errands.
Today is Maine Maple Sunday, so he made the mistake of trying to take them for breakfast at a maple farm. After they froze to death at two farms, one with about 1000 visitors, the other with no food on offer, they went to Stones Cafe instead. It's a great place for breakfast.
I spent some time with everyone this afternoon - we went to Colette and John's for a huge amount of food, some playing on the Wii, a bit of croquet (as you do) and a natter. Then it was back to work for me. I have some big meetings coming up - I'm about to throw the shit at the fan as hard as possible, so I need to be sure I've done my research properly, and informed all the people who need to be fully informed. I look forward to it all calming down a bit soon.
Carl next door has a date for his heart bypass - April 12th. He wanted to do something special with each child beforehand, so on Friday he and Hannah went to see Diary of a Wimpy Kid then went to Bugaboo Creek for dinner. Saturday morning he took Ellie to Clay Play then McDonalds. Next week he's taking Mark to the railway museum. I wonder if they really appreciate how lucky they are to have such lovely neighbours?
